Task 20.8 Writing Great Fiction: Storytelling Tips and Techniques The edition you linked with page numbers has no format. I can't find a print edition, only an audio plus workbook. That is not a print edition. But if a librarian can correct the record please repost.

It's fine to include more than one newly completed task in a post. If you do include more than one task, the tasks must be listed in numerical order, lowest to highest. Please repost these tasks in task number order

Claire (proud-mum) | 1086 comments It is saying the readerboard is updated to post 700 but I can't see my total on the readerboard. I believe there are two Claire's so just checking mine hasn't been added to the other Claire.

My post number is #684. My readerboard name can be Claire (proudmum) if easier.

Task 25.8 option 4 Seven Pets for Seven Witches: A Collection of Paranormal Cozy Shorts

You requested ebook verification of that book this season adding it to the list.

From the rules:
3. For tasks that require reading a book from a Goodreads listopia list or shelf, the book must appear on the list or shelf when you access it and the player may not add books to the list to be used for that task.

Oh, okay, sorry about that. I thought this didn't apply because it is not a listopia list or a shelf.

Trish (trishhartuk) | 3675 comments Sorry to trouble you, but I think I'm missing a golden oldie - probably A Young Doctor's Notebook (1925), which I claimed in post 679, as it was right last time I checked.

The others would have been
The Carter of La Providence, Georges Simenon (1931), post 19
The Late Monsieur Gallet, Georges Simenon (1931), post 332
The War of the Worlds, HG Wells (1898), post 609

Thanks.
