Whoops, that's what I get for posting right before bed.
Hello, balletbookworm here, I think a post of mine got missed - when you next get a chance can you check my totals? By my tally I've got 215 points but the readerboard shows 195.I have 195 as a total at the end of post 994 and then my next post at 1004 should add another 20. I've checked through the "oops" thread but couldn't find a post for me. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the heads up, Melissa. The problem is found and fixed, and the correct total should show up in the next update.

Please check your totals. You posted 50 points in this post, giving you a total of 270.
No need to repost - this is just to try to keep our totals synched.

Task 10.10 requires that a word from the title can be made from the target word, and that you specify the word. From your post, it appears that you are using the word HEARTS, but that word does not appear in the title of the book you posted.
Task 20.4 requires that the letters be found in the title, subtitle, and/or author's name. Vampire Queen is a series name, not the title or subtitle.
All other tasks have been recorded - please do NOT repost them.

Yep, very silly of me to forget that! Will repost. :D

Task 50.1, option 2B, requires that you include a link to the previous post. Instructions are in post 4 in the help thread for the task.
Mod
The book you posted for 30.2, option 2, Life Is a Jungle, has no page numbers listed and does not appear to have any other editions. If you provide a librarian with the necessary information, s/he should be able to help you in fixing the record.

Task 10.9 - "Graphic novels, manga or collected comic book issues must be at least 100 pages.
Collections of syndicated, periodical or internet comic strips, single or short-format panels, or cartoons must be at least 200 pages to be used for SRC tasks."
Bloom County Episode XI: A New Hope is a collection of comic strips and is less than 200 pages so will not work for SRC purposes.

Sandy, I took care of this. Jamtown, you can repost now.
kk I'll just remove that one and fix total. :) I didn't even think of it -- just saw the author and plunked it in. Thanks Sandy!
Mod
FYI - we do not use kindle page numbers. Please see the Rules of the Challenge - "If you read an ebook, or audiobook use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition.
."
The MMPB is long enough for 2 tickets, so your totals don't change and it doesn't matter in this case - that's why it's an FYI! It could matter in other situations, so you should be aware of this.
Mod
You appear to be using the cover option for task 25.2, book 2. The task requires that the cover be included in your post.

Yes, got slightly confused again with the rules on 'e book' - now all clear! :D

There is no Charlston on the Readerboard. If you have a different readerboard name, please repost with that name included in your post. Otherwise, please request a readerboard name in the Readerboard Name Thread.

Please check your totals - looks like you subtracted 10 points, rather than adding!
No need to repost - this is just to try to keep our numbers synched.
Mod
There is no indication in the GR data for this book as to any original publication date. You can ask a librarian to add the information and repost to claim a GO ticket if appropriate.
Mod
You have claimed a big book ticket for The Magicians. The linked edition has 402 pages, which does not qualify for a BB ticket. The page number of the edition that you actually read is the relevant number for SRC purposes, with the exception of ebooks.
If you read a different edition with >500 pages, you will need to repost, linking to the correct edition.

Sorry. I will re-post with the info from AR Bookfind. Darn, I was doing so well with my posts. This is the longest I've gotten in a challenge without having a problem with a post. There's always next season.

There is no Sally on the readerboard, although there is a "Sally M." If that is you, please repost with your readerboard name. If not.
Mod
Please check your totals. 340 in your previous post, plus 15 this time gives you a total of 355.

Mod
I assume that you really meant to post this for task 20.1, since that's what it fits. I have logged it as that task - if I am incorrect, please post. Otherwise, no need to repost - but you'll need to correct your records and your totals (since this is a 20 point task, rather than a 10 point task).
Mod
Task 25.7 requires that if you use 2 books to reach the required page number, both books must come from the same option. Your combination of 2 options will not work for the task.
Mod
Your 3 book combination linked in your post does not add up to 900 pages.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette - 330
Forever - 388
A Moveable Feast - 181
Total is 899 pages.
