Just FYI, no need to repost...
I'm trying a new way of posting, including posting mostly one task at a time, and it is confusing me might..."
You can post whatever is easiest for you. You don't have to wait to post. We can keep up with everything during the season.
Posts with more than 3 or 4 tasks make it easier to miss something if there's a distraction (life, phone, etc.). It is hard to make sure I return to the right point in a very long post and I often need to start over and that takes time.
It always helps to include your point total so I have a way of checking if I recorded everything.
The only posting request we have is to not post everything at the end. That is terribly frustrating to us. We are tired, there's a lot to do that last week, and a huge post during those last days is just awful.

Task 20.3 You linked to the audio Allegiant
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.
>If there are multiple editions in a format:
From the editions page (click all editions on the main book page)
Set the Format, beginning with Mass Market Paperback
Set the Sort By as "num ratings"
Use the top edition result to determine the page number for ebooks and audiobooks
If there are no editions in MMPB, reset with Paperback and the same sort (num ratings). If there are no paperback editions, reset with Hardcover and the same sort (num ratings). If there are no print editions the ebook or audiobook may not be used for a task requiring a page number
The MMPB Divergente has 461 pages and does not qualify for a big book ticket.

Post 112 above shows the genres that were present at the time of review. We do not understand why or how GR determines how many genres to display. If a book could be tagged as childrens (and this title has been published by "Macmillan Children's Books" so it is not an unreasonable tag to some) it is a good idea to check ARBookFinder and include the scores. You may want to be extra careful with tasks that specify "no childrens genres"
