Sorry, it wasn't there when I posted and I'm definitely not reading another comic book for this challenge. I enjoy new things but one was definitely enough. :D

I am not a graphic novel/comic book reader myself - I'd rather read words. But I decided to read Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood and I thought it was really good.
Mod

Thanks Sandy, but my library doesn't have many options (and they are probably all marked Children) and I'm not spending money on a comic. :D

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

Task 25.4, book 1 - you have listed the ebook page length, but the paperback edition (the page number used for SRC purposes) is 152 pages, so does not fit the task requirements.

Task 10.8 requires that you "Read a book with the word "bridge" or "bridges" (no other variations) in its title/subtitle." "Casterbridge" will not work.

Me too. I tried to read my grown son's copy of Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel and couldn't get myself past the first few pages. I searched for an alternative and came across Persepolis:: The Story of a Childhood and was very moved by it.

For task 50.1, book 2, you state that the book is set in San Francisco. Although the metadata has no setting information, the reviews suggest that it's set in Hong Kong. However, it appears that the author was born in San Francisco, so the book will work using that basis.
No need to repost.

The edition of The Grapes of Wrath that you posted has only 479 pages, so does not qualify for a Big Book ticket.

Task 20.4 is a one book task, and does not have an option 4, so I don't know what you're claiming the first book you list, or if it's meant for another task..
Don't Be A Stranger appears to only exist on GR in ebook form. If you have had it approved for length in the ebook verification thread, please repost with the post # or the spreadsheet line.
