Summer Challenge 2016: Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks

[Sandi]

Oh dear me . . . not sure what I was thinking with that. In fact, I think I realized several season ago that if I read that to continue with the series, this one would not work for the challenge. I'll rearrange some books and repost

You've claimed a BB ticket for Changes, but the edition you linked to has only 438 pages. If you actually read an edition with 500+ pages, please repost, linking to the correct edition.

If you repost, please be sure to indicate clearly at the top of your post that you are only reposting to claim a BB ticket.

Task 25.4 requires all three conditions be met:
"For this task you need to read two books that are opposites. To be considered opposites:

1. One book must be long (300 pages or more) and one must be short (less than 300 pages)
2. One book must be recent (first published in 2011 or later) and one must be older (first published in 2010 or earlier)
3. One book must be part of a series (any number) and one must be stand-alone

Required: When posting you must specify how your books differ on all 3 categories. Be sure to state the number of pages, the year of first publication, and series vs stand-alone.

Both books are books in series.

"If you are claiming a BB ticket, you must include the number of pages in the book. Be sure that the link you provide goes to the edition you actually read, with the correct number of pages. If you used an ebook or an audiobook, include a link to the paper edition used to establish length. "

See the Posting Requirements.

If you repost to claim the BB ticket, please indicate clearly at the top of your post that this is the purpose for your repost.

Task 15.3 In Love With Danger appears to be an ebook without a print edition. You must have it approved for length in Ebook page verification in General Help.
Your post must include the line number of the approval in the ebook spreadsheet or a link/post number of the post in which the ebook was approved for length.

Task 5.8 requires "a book that was first published in 1958 or 1984." Enemy in Sight was first published in 1969."

Shoot! I misread the task - took "or" to be a dash.

You claimed 2 BB tickets for a 973 page version of The Cider House Rules. However, that is a large print version, so the number of pages won't work for big book tickets. The most popular MMPB edition has 587 pages, so I have credited you with 1 BB ticket, based on that page count.

I totally misunderstood this one. I need to withdraw this submission because I can't fix it.
Sorry!
