All posts, including reposts, must include links to all books claimed.
A repost is a whole new post of the task, which means that we need to verify the whole thing - we don't keep records of partial posts, and then just add the new info to them.

Task 20.2 requires a minimum of 200 pages. The Case Against Satan has only 140 pages, so will not work for the task.

Just FYI - no need to repost.
PLEASE do not include the entire text of the task in your post. It makes it difficult and more time consuming to find your actual task posting. A few words to identify the content of the option you choose is great - but not the entire task!

FYI - You linked to a paperback edition, then said that the "top mmpb" had over 500 pages. You only use a different edition for page purposes if you read an ebook or audiobook - otherwise, you use the edition you actually read.
Also, please see the Posting requirements.
A BB ticket requires that you include in your post the actual number of pages of the book you read, not just "over 500".

Task 20.4 - you used Three Months in London which only shows an ebook edition. If there is a paper edition, you can ask a librarian to associate the two. If this is only available as an ebook, you will need to include the post # or googledoc line in which it was approved for length in the Ebook verification thread.
Also, just FYI - please check your totals.

Remember This When You're Sad: A book for mad, sad and glad days is an ebook, and the only paper edition listed has no page numbers. You will need to ask a librarian to add the page numbers to the paper edition or get ebook only approval for the use of this book.

Actually, that task is 5.10, not 15.10, so it's only 60 points.

While it's okay for the rest of this season to include more than one task in a post, they must be in numerical order, lowest to highest.

I'm sorry, but I don't see The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I've looked under both T and P, and gone through the whole list twice, but I don't see it. Am I missing something?
