Hi Sandy - I'm checking with the Readerboard now (the name I used for the last challenge I took part of was "Melanie") - I just want to make sure, if I need to fix it, do I repost the entire post?

10.5 - In the Next Room, or the vibrator play has 90 pages, which will not work for a 10 point task. If you actually read another edition with 100+ pages, please repost linking that edition. If you read an ebook edition, the 90 page paperback is the most popular paperback, so 90 pages is the correct number.
Answer to post #142 : the book was just approved on post #6200 (page 124). Sorry for the inconvenience and the time I took to answer.
Mod
You'll need to repost if you haven't yet done so.
Mod
Just an FYI - for task 5.4, you cited the ebook page number to meet the task requirements. We do not use the ebook page numbers. The top paperback edition has 254 pages, so meets the task requirements - no need to repost, this is just to remind you of SRC requirements.
Mod
Just an FYI - You cited the ebook page number to meet the requirements for a big book ticket. We do not use the ebook page numbers. The top MMPB edition has 576 pages, so meets the requirements - no need to repost, this is just to remind you of SRC requirements.
Mod
Task 20.10 requires that "REQUIRED: You must participate in the book's discussion thread with at least one post about the contents of the book or your reaction to the book after you have read the book."
I didn't see a post from you in the discussion thread. If I somehow missed it, please let me know the post number.
Also, please check your totals. I show you with 30 before this task - you previously posted task 20.9, and task 10.8.
Mod
You already posted this task, with this book, on March 23.
Also, please check your totals. Without this 20 points, I show you with 125 - 5.5, 10.8, 15.6, 15.10, 20.1, 20.4, 20.6, 20.7.

Thanks. My copy isn't listed with an ISBN so I just searched for the name but forgot to check if it was the right edition.
According to my numbers I should have a score of 225 after this post, but it says 210 on the readerboard. Maybe I've miscalculated, but will you check?

found and fixed - you do indeed have a total of 225, and the correct update will show up in the next update.
Mod
While it's fine to include more than one task in a post, you must list them in order, lowest to highest. See post 1 in this thread and the Posting Requirements
Mod
Task 25.6, book 1 requires "Read a book from the first 5 pages of Popular Futurism Books or Popular Near-Future Books." A book on p. 6 does not work.
Mod
Task 15.3 - you linked to The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, a 32 page childrens book. If this is not the book you read, you'll need to repost with the correct book/edition.

OMG this is so embarrassing! I'll repost. Thank you!

Task 25.3, book 1, states "Read a book whose title does NOT contain any of the letters in the word WOLF. If the book has a subtitle none of the letters in WOLF may appear in the subtitle
HINT: Books with Title: A Novel will not work as OL are in WOLF."
The book to which you linked, Iris Avenue: Rose Hill Mystery Series, has both an O and an L in the subtitle.
Mod
Task 15.5 - The Girl with the Golden Gun appears to have all ebook editions, except one paper edition with no page numbers. You can ask a librarian to add the page numbers to the paper edition.

Found and fixed, Laure - thanks for the heads up. New total will show up in next update.
I hate being nitpicky, but I think you forgot to correct my score last time according to message 165 in this thread. I should have a total of 245 after my two last posts: 1242 and 1316. Will you check?

There is no subtitle, Sandy. It's called Iris Avenue in the other editions, on Amazon and on the book cover, I'll have a librarian fix the paperback listing and then repost. Sorry for the extra work.
Readerboard name: Sara GHi, I have my total as 340, but it is showing up on the readerboard as 330.
Tasks I've completed:
5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9
10.1, 10.3, 10.9, 10.10

20.1, 20.5, 20.6, 20.7, 20.8, 20.9
25.2, 25.4, 25.5
30.3
These should add up to 340.
Unless I'm missing something, I don't see where any of these had an issue that I didn't correct. Thanks for looking! :)

Both found and fixed.
Not a good couple of days for me! Maybe it's because I'm concerned about the fact that I have reservations on a United flight next month!

I don't see anything in the GR description or in the first few reviews of Lirael that suggests that it features a library or librarian. You'll need to explain how it fits the task.

Task 10.6 - the task requires that the book be set at least 50% in a penguin place. I checked Where'd You Go, Bernadette and it seems pretty clear that <50% takes place there.
Mod
Please check your totals. You had 95 after your previous post, plus 15 this post, for a total of 110.
No need to repost - this is just to try to keep our records synched.

Or explain it. I haven't read the book myself, so I have no personal knowledge of this.
Sigh......................if only I could read EVERY book that anyone posts...........that would be lovely!
That would be an incredible amount of books. :)

yes it would - but I've gotta say, it still sounds good. If only life didn't get in the way of reading....................
