And The Silkworm in post #2338

Both of the links you added for task 25.4 show only ebook editions. You will need to either link to a paper edition or get these books approved for page length in the ebook approval thread.
Please note that option 2 in task 25.4 requires a specific number of pages, so a book that exists only in ebook form cannot be used for this option.

Task 50.1 requires that your 3 books total at least 1000 pages. The books you poste total 901.
Mod
Task 5.1 - You used Selected Poems - that has only 54 pages, so does not qualify for SRC use.
Task 15.3 - There is nothing in the description of Kafka on the Shore that indicates that it features a library or librarian. Please explain your answer.
Task 20.4 - The Dream of a Common Language has only 96 pages, so does not qualify for SRC use.
Also, please check your totals. Your original post showed a total of 270 - it was actually 260: 8 X 5 + 40, 4 X 10 = 40, 4 X 15 = 60, 6 X 20 = 120, for a total of 260. Minus 40 disallowed here leaves you with 220.
Hello,my readerboard total says I have 705 points, but according to my own calculations it should be 725 and there is no message in this thread.
My last completed book post was 2587 and my readerboard name is BellaGBear
Hi, I should have three Golden Oldie tickets. Two were claimed in post #977 and #692. Readerboard only shows 1 through post #2550. I forgot to claim the third, so I have reposted that task just to claim it.

Task 50.1, book 3, RE, requires that the book be set in certain parts of Canada - "Canada (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut only)" - Alias Grace does not appear from the GR main page to be set in those areas. If it is, please repost with information indicating this setting.

None of the paper editions of Burials has a page number with it. You can ask a librarian to add this and repost the task.
Mod
The Book Club Murders only shows on GR as having ebook and audio versions. Since this task requires a specific page count, a book with no paper edition cannot be used. If there is a paper edition, you can ask a librarian to associate it with the record, or repost with a link to that edition.

Thanks Sandy! I re-posted today #2693 and corrected the post to include the missing required element symbol.

Task 5.4 - Task 5.9 in the Winter Challenge required "Read a book that was FIRST published in a year that contains the numbers 2 AND 5 such as 1952, 2005 or 2015."
A book first published in 2002 does not fit the task.

Cindy, I took care of the page number and added it to the paper editions. You can repost.

Task 25.2 requires a combined page total of at least 500 pages. Your books (even using the kindle page numbers for book 2) only total 295 pages.
Also, The Escaped Murderer of Somerville appears to only exist in ebook form, which means that it cannot be used for a task requiring a specific number of pages.

Task 10.2 - in order to claim a BB ticket, your post must include the # of pages (as determined by the rules for page determination for ebooks, since you linked to an ebook)
Mod
You claimed Wonder for task 10.2. That book has childrens as a main page genre:
Genres at review:
Young Adult 2340 users

Realistic Fiction 1217 users
Childrens>Middle Grade 908 users
Contemporary 860 users
The ARBF numbers for this book are "IL: MG - BL: 4.8 - AR Pts: 11.0" so it does not meet the criteria for the use of childrens books for SRC tasks.

CELESTERHullo. I was wondering why I have 2 bigbook tickets since I only read 1 book over 500+ pages (The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales). Is there a certain amount of pages, like once over 1000 you can get another ticket? It doesn't matter now since it is the end of the season but just wondering ...
And thank you Sandy(moderator) for having patience with a little fool like me who can not remember rules and directions. Thank you. CELESTE.
