Reposted. Again, I posted another task in between posting and reposting this - up-to-date total for me can be found on post 1061.
Chandni - post 1073Task 30.5 requires that the middle initial of the author of book 2 MUST be the initial of the middle name of the author of Book 1. The middle initial for Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is R. Therefore, the middle initial of the author of book 2 must also be R. Philip K. Dick won't work.
Sheila - post 1075Task 25.4 requires that you state in your post that both books are new to you. Please repost this task with the required information.

Wow, can't believe I missed that. Sorry Kristina, will find some other tasks for those books.

Adria - post 1136Please see #12 in the Posting Requirements:
12. It's fine to include more than one newly completed task in a post. If you do include more than one task, the tasks must be listed in numerical order, lowest to highest.
This makes record keeping much easier. Please repost with your tasks in order.

The post does say that already - in parentheses after the finished date.
In Completed Tasks I claimed a Golden Oldies tickets in post 1085. However I don´t see this back in the readerboard. I have been awarded the points though. Can you check this out, please?

Thanks for letting me know. It has been corrected

You're absolutely right. Sorry about that, Karen! I must have been getting blurry-eyed by the time I got there. No need to repost. I've picked up your points and they'll show up during the next update.
Tien - post 1148Task 5.6 requires a book with a 4 word title, not word with 4 letters. Lord Edgware Dies will not work because the title only has 3 words in it.
Task 15.3 - For the SRC, the moderators use physical copies of books to verify page count for ebooks. Although there is a paperback listed for The Earl's New Bride, there is no page count information listed on Goodreads. It is up to the challenge participant to resolve issues concerning page count before claiming a book for points. You can have a Goodreads librarian research the page count and update the Goodreads database by asking here: Anyone with librarian status....
After the information shows up on the paperback's main page, please repost this task in its entirety to claim your points.

Tien, I have taken care of this. You can repost it.

You claimed a big book ticket for task 15.6 stating 672 pages but linked to Inferno with 461 pages. To claim a big book ticket you must include the link to the book you read with the qualifying page numbers.
If you repost to claim the ticket, please indicate at the top of your post that you are reposting for this purpose, so that Kristina doesn't have to revisit your post.

Both books are not on ARbookfinder. I just checked.
Sirena - post 1162Task 30.5 requires that the middle initial of the author of book 2 be the initial of the middle name of the author of Book 1. The middle initial for Deirdre Riordan Hall is R. Therefore, the middle initial of the author of book 2 must also be R. In addition, the task specifically states that leading initial names, such as M.L. Stedman, will not work for book 2. So E.M. Forster will not work for this task.
Anne (Booklady) wrote: "Both books are not on ARbookfinder. I just checked. "As stated in #4 of the Book Formats and Page Numbers Explained of the Rules of the Challenge, any book that has "childrens" or "kids" listed as a genre on its main page MUST be found on AR BookFinder and/or AR BookFinder UK or cleared in the Not Kids Verification thread. If neither of these provisions work, the book cannot be used for points in the SRC.

OK, thanks- I did not notice that it did not have a page count. I posted a question for a librarian and gave them the information that I had from our library system. I will repost when the page count is added to Goodreads.
Kristina Simon wrote: " Camilla - post 1152Pet from Hell appears to be an ebook without a print edition."
So sorry, I hadn't noticed that, although I had gotten several other ebooks approved. Will get approval and repost.
Mimi Michele - post 1204Task 30.4 requires that you point out where the letters of your books' titles are located in the quotations. Please see the example in the task description. In answer to your question, A Murder in the Peace Corps is indeed the subtitle so can be ignored. Please repost this task including the required element.

Wayne - post 1218Go Set a Watchman fulfills the requirements for both Book 1 and Book 2 for task 15.3 and may be used for the ONE book option, if you wish. You could use Soldiers of Salamis for a different task. If you'd like to do that, you can just post Soldiers of Salamis for whichever task it fits. I've recorded Go Set a Watchman for task 15.3
Papermaker - Post 1213You've already claimed task 15.3 on Sept 8 in post 235 of the completed task thread.

Deborah - post 1236According to the Rules of the Challenge (#7):All elements of books separated into multiple audio or paperback parts (often identified as “Part 1”, “Part 2”, etc.) must be read. Individual chapters of a book or unfinished serialized books (released by chapter) cannot be used.
The Darkest Frost, Vol 1 of 2 is the first part of a two-part serial and must be read in conjunction with The Darkest Frost, Vol 2 of 2.

Whoops I'll move it around
Sheila - post 1255Task 25.9 requires that the letters H I P appear in the title of each book. Chopping Spree will work because all the letters are found in Chopping, but One Scream Away won't work.
Papermaker - post 1277Task 20.5 has 4 options. Please repost this task indicating which option the book you read fits.

Oops, Sorry.
Cindie - post 1313Task 30.5 requires that the middle initial of the Book 2 author be the SAME as the initial for the middle name of the Book 1 author. The middle initial for Susan Elia MacNeal is E. Therefore, the middle initial of the Book 2 author must also be E. Donna M. Gershten won't work.
Daphne - 1323I'm not sure
is going to work for task 30.1, option 4. I don't see any solid green marbles, just 4 green & white marbles. Schatzie hasn't approved any partially green objects in the help thread, as far as I can tell. If you got this book preapproved and I missed it, please repost indicting which help thread post the approval is in.
Kristina Simon wrote: " Daphne - 1323I'm not sure

I looked at some of the green clothing that were pre-approved and they were mixed with other colors too, so figured it didn't have to be 100% green item. Like this one:
since her shirt is green with a black stripe and cuffs. :)

I clearly don't understand why I have to get permission for a children's book in a goal that requires me to read a children's book, so I think I'll just skip this goal for good. Sorry to waste your time checking up on my claim.
i'm guessing because it says the book still has to meet all SRC requirements for children's books - so you need to include the data from AR bookfinder
