I'm sorry but I have read through everything multipe times and I can't seem to get anything right. Could someone please help?
so for your task 20.7 - it was shelved as children's - you refer to AR bookfinder - http://www.arbookfind.com/bookdetail....the link says that yur book is:
IL: MG - BL: 5.7 - AR Pts: 16.0
Books that have an IL designation of MG MUST ALSO have a BL of 5.0 (or higher) AND AR Pts of 7.0 (or higher)
so because your BL is 5.7 and AR is 16 - the book works - you just need to include the IL info in your post

Here’s an example of how you could set out your post for task 20.7.

Note that you have to link to the edition of the book that you actually read. It’s sometimes easier to find this if you use the ISBN to search by.
Hope that helps! :-)

I'm not sure I understand this. Do I need to include three separate links - the one I put up to the box set, a link to an individual edition of AAoK, and a third link that I don't quite get?

You need 2 links- one to the box set and one to the individual title that you read. If that was in hardcover (hardcover box set) , then include the hardcover link

mm.. I will try and find another place for the book, anyway, but I think goodreads might be wrong here. When I posted initially, all the books said March 1, so this ebook must have been added, merged or updated after I last checked. Poking around the internet on various places, I see March 1 listed for this book everywhere, so I don't know where the Feb date came from. (maybe an ARC?) I am a librarian, so I could just change it, but I won't without outside verification. Where is a good source to verify the date, because I can't prove an ebook wasn't actually released earlier? I tried WorldCat and it just says 2017 with no month listed. I tried amazon and all the books say March 1 there. Google says first published March 1, 2017. Other places to check? Is there a definitive source?

Thank you! That seems definitive. I am going to fix the "first published" date on the goodreads record as it still says March 1, even though that ebook had the february date. (I think that's where I got confused, I just looked at that first published date rather than actually checking the individual editions. Now I know to double check that too. Thanks.
I would appreciate if someone doublechecks my posy. Also, it would be a huge favor to know what I need to fulfill the two book tasks
For this Read a book that is either #1 in the series or the last (most recently published) entry in a series (by first printing, not a paperback, re-issue etc). The book's Goodreads series main page must indicate this by series listing and/or publication date. The series entry must be a standalone work, not a contribution to a short story or novella collection could I use my current book The Tale of Hill Top Farm?
Slytherpuff wrote: "I would appreciate if someone doublechecks my posy. Also, it would be a huge favor to know what I need to fulfill the two book tasks"For two book tasks you usually need to read books from two different options available in the task description. You have to read both books before you can claim the points. Once you’ve read both books you can claim the points as you would for a one book task. Does that help at all?

You will find a link to the help thread at the top of each and every task description, like this:

March 15, as it's known in the Julian calendar, was a big day for the ancient Romans...

I totally messed up the rules on this one for the repost. Please ignore my post 1597. I did listen to the audio, so after searching through the rules I confirmed I did need to use the MMPB for an audiobook, so I did it right the first time. Some other challenges I am in require the most popular print edition.
I'll read another play to combine or a totally different book for that spot.
