Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks
Sandy wrote: "Shauna post 1784Task 20.1 is a one book task, so you may want to move one of the books you used to a different task."
Whoops! Thanks for the heads up, Sandy! I've reposted for task 20.1 and plugged the other book into a different task. Thanks again!
Sandy wrote: "Peebee post 1792Task 25.6 - When you are substituting a book, and thus changing your post for a task, you need to include complete information for that task.
Please do not repost the other tasks..."
My apologies, Sandy -- I will make sure I do that in the future. However, I won't be reposting right away, because I have to move a book from 25.6 yet again (after I get approval in a help thread based on a funky Goodreads issue). Hopefully this doesn't cause too much confusion and I will reference this thread when I do so.

actually, I had already spotted the problem this morning and fixed it - so no problem any more!
Mod
Books must be at least 100 pages to meet SRC requirements, so Same Difference (96 pages) will not work for this task.
Mod
Please check your totals. I show you with 475 after this post.
No need to repost - this is just to keep our records straight.
Mod
For task 50.1, option 3A, cupcakes were specifically disallowed for "cake on the cover" in the help thread. See post 3 in that thread.
Mod
A Little Princess has the genre "childrens" on its main page and has fewer than 300 pages. Since task 25.11 does not specifically allow short childrens books, that book will not work for this task.
Juana "Darkness" - post 1765A list of GRA at the top of your post will not work. You need to list the authors next to the books and clearly indicate which ones are GRAs. The way you've set your post up I'd have to click on every book in it to determine which author goes with which book. Sorry, no time for that.
Mod
Links must be provided for all books posted.
SHELLEY UT - post 1847The edition of Making Faces you've linked to is an ebook. Ebooks may not be used for BB tickets. You must provide a link to the MMPB or other edition as spelled out in the rules.
Mod
On the Devil's Court has the genre "childrens" on its main page and has fewer than 300 pages. Since task 30.10 does not specifically allow short childrens books, that book will not work for this task.
Mod
Both of the books you posted for 30.10 have the genre "romance" on the main page. The task specifically excludes books with romance as a main page genre.
Mod
Bay's End appears to only exist in ebook form.
If your book is an ebook with no print version, you must have it approved for length before posting in the ebook page verification thread: Ebook page verification in General Help.
Your post must include the line number of the approval in the ebook spreadsheet or a link to the post in which the ebook was approved for length.
If you've already had this approved, please repost with the required information.
Mod
Task 25.7, option A, requires that the book be set in a place that is new to you and that you state this in your post.
Please do not repost the other tasks in your post - those points have been recorded.
Mod
It is fine to post more than one task in a post, but tasks must be listed in numerical order, lowest to highest.

Oops didn't realise order was off....just reposted the tasks.

thanks Sandy, I will try to fit them somewhere else

Please put readerboard name at the beginning of your post.
All books posted must include links. Please repost, including readerboard name and links to all books claimed.

Please be sure to do a new post - updating an old one won't work, since we don't go back to old posts.

As noted in response to your question in the HT, "swimming pool" won't work for a body of water.
Also, for your second book, please note that you must include the cover in your post when you are claiming points for a cover task.
Mod
Please check your totals - I show you with 80 points at the end of this post. (4 X 15 +20).
No need to repost - this is just to keep our totals synched.

I've reposted with the correct data, but I also forgot in post#1866 to claim a BB ticket for Stieg Larsson's book. What should I do?!
just do a post with the task and put something like claiming BB ticket for book and include link

Sorry sandy, hadn't dealt with a query before. New list done.
One other query, in my first post 1830 in completed tasks I had a big book and listed it in my counts but don't see it on the big book tickets post? I looked on here but didn't find a query related to that post.
Lauren wrote: "One other query, in my first post 1830 in completed tasks I had a big book and listed it in my counts but don't see it on the big book tickets post? I looked on here but didn't find a query related to that post. "In order to get a BB ticket, you must specifically say BB or BB ticket next to the book itself. Listing a tally at the bottom of your posts or listing the number of pages will not work. Not everyone wants BB tickets (because they don't want to design a task for the following season, which is the purpose of the tickets). So if you just list page numbers I assume you're doing so for informational purposes only and don't award any tickets.
If you'd like to claim your BB ticket, all you need to do is post another message in the completed task thread that states that the message is only for the purpose of claiming a BB ticket (so Sandy doesn't think it's for new points) and list the task you read the book for and give a link to the book (make sure it's the edition you read and has the right number of pages). Then I'll pick it up as I go though the new posts.
Mod
In order to qualify for SRC points, a book must be at least 100 pages long. 10 Habits of Highly Successful Women, The includes no information about the number of pages. Please repost with information about the page length.
Mod
For task 50.1, you cannot do option 2B twice. The task states "You may select A and B from a single option. You may NOT do the same part A or B more than once."

Thanks Dee & Kristi :)
Mod
Task 25.7, option A, requires that the book be set in a place that is new to you and that you state this in your post.
For task 50.1, you cannot do option 2A three times. The task states "You may select A and B from a single option. You may NOT do the same part A or B more than once."
Please do not repost task 25.11 - those points have been recorded.
Mod
It's fine to include multiple tasks in one post, but they must be listed in order, from smallest to largest. See Posting Requirements, #11, and the first post in the Completed Tasks thread.

Lisa wrote: "Sandy wrote: "Melanie C post 1665Task 15.3B requires that the book be set in one of the 13 original colonies. Washington State doesn't work for this."
Melanie & Sandy, the book Melanie chose for option A actually fits both criteria, because Washington is in the title and it is set in New York. I noticed this because I have that book slotted for this task. "
Thanks - I will repost based on that criteria. Thanks for the help Lisa!

Vexing the Viscount appears to only exist in ebook form.

Oh shoot! I thought I'd already had that one approved, but it was a different one. Thank you for letting me know. I will take care of it.
Mod
Just Like Heaven does not have "humor" listed as a main page genre. If you had the genre previously "locked in," please re-post, indicating the thread and post number of the pre-approval.
I didn't, Sandy. It was pretty high up on the list when I first checked it, so I thought it would be safe. Lesson learned :)Thank you for letting me know. I'll replace it with something else and re-post the task.
