Found and fixed! Thanks for the heads up.

I think that my Readerboard total is too much by 25 points. It should be 200 points according to my count - with my latest post from today it should be 220.

Task 15.4 - It appears that the only paper editions listed on GR of You've Been Warned--Again have been "cancelled by the publisher." Since the only actual editions listed are ebooks (the top one of which is only 96 pages), you will need to get this book approved in the ebook verification thread.

There is no Claire on the readerboard whose points match those you are listing. Please repost with your readerboard name.

Task 25.4 has a minimum page requirement of 600 pages. You listed Murder in the Mews with 299 pages and I denne søde sommertid, also with 299 pages, leaving you short of the required minimum.

When it's a book that frequently lists childrens as a mpg, the easiest thing is generally to just go ahead and include the ARBF info.

5.2 - The book you posted, Gone, But Not Forgotten / After Dark, shows only one edition, with no page count. You'll need to get a librarian to add this information to use this book.

Phantomswife post 788

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.

Melanie H post 994

Task 20.8 requires a book written by a single author, not two co-authors.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Marina H post 997

You already claimed Murder in the Mews in post 918.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

You already claimed task 25.4 in post 918.

There was a problem according to message 109 in this thread. My books were less than 600 pages in total so I switched around some books and reposted task 25.4

I can see you changed my score on the readerboard so everything looks okay. Thanks 😊

Sorry. I forgot it was co-authored as I was adding from my wordpad sheet, what do I do about the post, just delete the information and add a delete message?

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Melanie wrote: "what do I do about the post, just delete the information and add a delete message? .."

no need to do anything. You didn't get points for it.

Sorry Sandy you are correct so I went back and read the original Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

Task 20.4 requires that you indicate the option that you are using. Assuming that you are using option 1, it requires that the author you read be a new author for you and that you state this in your post.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Loafer post 1007

Please check your totals. My records show a total of 290, rather than 390. No need to repost.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Sophie post 1009

Task 10.2 - you used The Dance: Our Journey Through Frontotemporal Degeneration 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.

20.3 requires that you state the option you chose.

Please do not repost 10.8 and 15.4 - those points have been recorded.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Danibean post 1013

Task 20.1, option 3, is a cover task - it requires that you include the cover in your post and point out the yellow on the cover.

Please do not repost the other tasks in your post - they have been recorded.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Beth NC post 1020

Task 25.3, option 5, requires "REQUIRED: If it is not apparent from the description or metadata, please provide a reference for the setting." I don't see anything in the metadata or the GR description that indicates that Silver Staked (The Blood Borne Series) is set in NYC.

I think you now missed my last post (#896) and I'm missing 20 points - lol. In total including my post from today according to my count I should have 235 points. I hope I am right? Thank you!

Books that exist only in ebook form cannot be used for tasks with a specific page requirement. See the Rules of the Challenge.

Task 25.6 has a 500 page required page limit.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

BARBARA ★ post 1089

Task 25.6 option 4 requires that the title begin with one of the letters H O M E S. The Once and Future Duchess begins with a T.

See the FAQs:

"I. What about articles, prepositions, etc.?
A word is a word. Articles and prepositions are words, just like any other. "

Queen Bee Darlene post 1158

The book you posted for task 20.5, The Legacy is a kindle edition, with no other editions listed. If there are paper editions, you need to have a librarian associate the editions. If not, you need to request approval in the ebook verification thread

Also, there is no series information associated with the book you posted, so would not work for this task.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Phantomswife post 1163

All posts must include links to the books claimed.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

BARBARA ★ post 1164

Task 5.3 - ARCs are not a gift, since they serve a commercial purpose. See message 6 in the help thread.

Just FYI - please check your total. No need to repost.

Beth F post 1194

Beauty of the Beast is an ebook, and the only paper editions listed have 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.

I don't think I received the points for my last post. I claimed task 30.6 in post 1157 for a total of 430 points but the readerboard only shows 400.

Thanks

Found and fixed - it will show up in the next update.

Just an FYI - it is extremely useful if you include your total points in your task - that gives me a way to double check and, with luck, catch a post that I have missed.
