Reader board name Nicola T. Per readerboard, points have been counted up to post 1500; but per post 1044 I should have 235 points therefore not 215?
Nicola wrote: "Reader board name Nicola T. Per readerboard, points have been counted up to post 1500; but per post 1044 I should have 235 points therefore not 215?"Sorry about that, Nicola. You're correct. Your total should be 235 points and I've found and fixed the discrepancy. Your totals will be corrected in the next update.
GreenFairy - post 1068Re: Task 10.10 - Please review the method to determine page numbers when using ebooks found in the Challenge Rules: Books Formats #7.
Kindle (or any other ebook format) page numbers cannot be used to establish the number of pages for SRC purposes. Task 10.10 requires a book with a number of pages between 244 and 334. The paperback version of Token Huntress, which is the edition you should use to establish page numbers, has only 222 pages, which does not fall into the proper page range.
Sheila - post 1091Task 30.1, book 1 requires a book with a word that contains three consecutive vowels in the title. The Fourth Monkey won't work for this option.
Alycia - post 1092All posts, including reposts, must conform to the Posting Requirements. Specifically:
3. You MUST include a link to the book edition you read and the link must be included along with the specific task posting information.
The easiest way to do this when reposting is to go back to your original post, select "edit" in the bottom right hand corner (reply | edit | delete | flag *) and copy what's in the post. Cancel out of the edit, go to the comment box at the bottom of the completed task thread and paste. Then go back and add/delete/reword or whatever you need to do to fix the original post. This will preserve all your links.

Argh, I always forget copy/paste won't retain the links. Reposted.

Kindle (or any other ebook format) page numbers cannot be used to establish the number of pages for SRC purposes. A Place in the Sun does not appear to have a print edition with verified page numbers listed on Goodreads.

Kayla C - post 1106Re: Task 25.2, option 5 - Why Not Me? does not appear to be on the 46 Hilarious Books Guaranteed To Make You Laugh Out Loud list. The only book by Mindy Kaling on the list is Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?.

Mhairi - post 1120Task 30.1, option 2 states that subtitles may not be used for the selected title word and should be ignored. The Silk Roads: A New History of the World will not work for this option.
perletwo - post 1144Task 25.3 requires that the author's first and last initials be found in the poet's name. There is no "G" in Laurence Binyon so Laura Greenwald will not work for Book 1.
Tami - post 1149Task 20.10 requires that you 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 it. I do not see a post by you in the discussion thread.

arrrgh. I think at a glance at the cover thumbnail I mistook the G for a C. (If I had a nickel for every time I'd found early Sue Grafton paperbacks shelved in the Cs coz of a poor font choice...)
Picked up something else today I think will work. Will read & repost ASAP.
