I'm so sorry, I read it wrong. I thought I could use letters from the quote. I'm a bonehead. I'll use the book for another task.

Goodreads Author tickets are no longer awarded. They have been replaced with:
20.4 GOLDEN OLDIES - Players may earn a ticket for each book FIRST published in or before 1950. A random ticket will be drawn from the ticket pool to determine who creates this task. Challenge finishers are not eligible for the drawing. Players must specifically request a ticket in the post by claiming "Golden Oldie" and stating the original publication year.

When I went back and looked at my post # 1163 I noticed that there is a link to Mary Cassatt and Cezanne which gives the inspirational images as required by the task, I'm not sure how to correct this as my repost is the same links.

If you are claiming a BB ticket, you must specifically claim one and include the number of pages in the specific book. A tally at the bottom of your post is not sufficient. You do list a page number of 599, after Fallen, but that book only has 387 pages. Even if it were enough pages, however, we do not assume a BB claim - many people who do not claim BB tickets state the number of pages in the books they read.
Please see the Posting Requirements.
Mod
Completed task posts must include the task number
