Thanks for listing the tasks you have, Nicola! That made finding my mistake a lot easier. I've fixed your points on the spreadsheet. Your corrected points will show up on the Readerboard after the next update.
Dakimel - post 1704Task 20.6 - which option? Also, North to You does not appear to have a print edition so you'll need to have its page numbers verified.
Anja - post 1708The paperback edition of Strong does not have page numbers. You will need to ask a Goodreads Librarian to verify the number of pages and add them to the book's main page before reposting your task to claim it for points.
Claire - post 1711Please repost with your Readerboard name at the top of your post.
M1nks - post 1715Task 20.1 limits you to the number of letters available in the standard English-language edition of Scrabble. There are only 2 H tiles available. The Girl With All the Gifts has 3 Hs in the title.
Beth_NC - posts 1718 & 1720From the posting requirements: 2. Include Task # and a short (1-5 word) Task Description.
Creynard - post 1728Task 15.3 requires a book with a title of at least 3 words.
Joanne MI - post 1733Task 20.1 limits you to the number of letters available in the standard English-language edition of Scrabble. There are only 2 Y and 2 P tiles available. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society has 3 Ys and 3 Ps in the title.
Wayne - post 1734Task 15.10 requires that you include the book's cover when you post.

I have now added the page count. Anja, you may now repost the book if you wish.
Karen Michele - post 1779Task 15.10 requires that you include the book's cover when you post.
DULCINELLA - post 1787Task 25.6, option E requires that the genre "Cozy Mystery" be found on the book's main page. At review, the book The Copenhagen Connection has the following genres on its main page:
GENRES
Mystery 212 users
Fiction 35 users
Romance > Romantic Suspense 14 users
Romance 13 users
Did you have the genre verified in the help thread or in the genre verification thread? If so, you need to repost this task and state which thread and post the genre was verified in.

You are right. I don’t know what happened to my brain. However, I reposted with another book I read in the weekend. I hope that is ok.

Ohhhh - Well there you go! I've played scrabble a few times but never thought about that at all.

Mai - post 1884Posting requirements have changed: 12. Only one task may be included in a post. Please repost your tasks separately.
Kayla C - post 1916Task 25.3, option A requires a book with a one or a two word title.
In Message 80, I was requested to repost with my readerboard name. I did that in post # 1317. However, I have not been given credit for that re-post.In addition, I posted a task which was numbered 1318 in the posting thread and I have also not been given credit for that one.
I cannot find if there was a message that this post was incorrect.
At this point I should have 100 points. Would you please advise?
Thanks

See post 120 in this thread for the problem with post #1317. You've been credited for the points in post #1318. Your points stand at 70 because of the problem with your repost. Once you repost the 30 point task correctly, your points will be 100 (not counting anything you've posted in messages later than #1925).
Diana K. - post 1943You've claimed the same books in this post and in post #1858.
perletwo - post 1963Please repot your task including the task #.
Peakles - post 1968Task 15.10 (and the others that use TinEye) are based on the picture of the cover on the main book page with the box in front of "Exclude background color from extracted colors" unchecked. Following the directions for using TinEye in post 2 of the Help thread, gives these results for The Little Stranger:
65.8 %Nero (Black)
25.7 %Taupe (Brown)
3.1 %Athens Grey (Grey)
2.9 %Delta (Grey)
2.5 %Sepia (Brown)
25.7% + 2.5% = 28.2%
Beth _NC - post 1983Task 15.10 (and the others that use TinEye) are based on the picture of the cover on the main book page with the box in front of "Exclude background color from extracted colors" unchecked. Following the directions for using TinEye in post 2 of the Help thread, gives these results for The River Is Dark:
54.5 %Black (Black)
8.1 %Indian Tan (Brown)
7.9 %Salem (Green)
7.5 %Neutral Green (Green)
5.7 %Burnt Umber (Brown)
5.4 %Caribbean Green (Green)
4.8 %Trinidad (Brown)
4.1 %Burning Sand (Brown)
1.7 %Judge Grey (Brown)
0.4 %Watusi (Pink)
8.1% + 5.7 % + 4.8 % + 4.1 % + 1.7 %= 24.4%
Nikki B - post 1987Task 30.3, option 2 does not allow the latest book in the series to be used. Because book 25 has not yet been released, Hardcore Twenty-Four is the currently the latest release in the Stephanie Plum series and cannot be used for this option.
Nikki B - post 1992You've already claimed task 10.10 in post 294.
Kristina Simon wrote: " perletwo - post 1963Please repot your task including the task #."
Reposted. Looks like something got highlighted by accident. eenh.
Karen Michele - post 2108Task 15.7 requires a book with a page count made up only of the numbers 0, 2, 5, and 8. The edition of The Third Hotel you've linked to has 212 pages. If you read a different edition, please repost this task with a link to the correct edition.
Karen Michele - post 2109Task 20.8 requires a book that is at least 300 pages long. The edition of The Silence of the Girls you've linked to has 293 pages. If you read a different edition, please repost this task with a link to the correct edition.

I'm not sure what happened here, but I'll have to switch some books around;)

Reposted - sorry for the extra work!
MAZZA1 - post 2161The edition of The Clockmaker's Daughter you've linked to has 485 pages. As such, it does not meet the requirements of a Big Book ticket.
SALLY M - post 2178Task 50.1, book 3 requires a book that is an award winner, not a finalist or a nominee. The Beekeeper's Apprentice was an Agatha Award Nominee for Best Novel in 1994, not the winner.
TessaVanessa - post 2231Task 5.4 requires the initial letter of every word of the title to be found in APPALACHIAN TRAIL. The initial letters/numbers for Alex + Ada, Vol. 2 are A+AV2. APPALACHIAN TRAIL does not have a + or a V or a 2 in it.
Creynard - post 2271Task 15.6 (and the others that use TinEye) are based on the picture of the cover on the main book page with the box in front of "Exclude background color from extracted colors" unchecked. Following the directions for using TinEye in post 2 of the Help thread, gives these results for the edition of The Alice Network you've linked to:
76.8 %Jungle Mist (Green)
12.0 %Nero (Black)
5.4 %Charcoal (Grey)
1.7 %Paradiso (Green)
1.5 %Blush (Red)
1.3 %Lily (Violet)
1.3 %Tapestry (Pink)
12.0 + 5.4 = 17.4%
If you actually read a different edition, please repost your task with a link to the correct edition.
Shanna_redwind - post 2293Not a Second Chance appears to be an ebook without a print edition. You need to get the number of pages verified in the ebook only thread if you have not done so already. Once that's done, you need to repost and include the verification post # or the line on the spreadsheet where the book has been verified for length.
Kristen IAIt looks like you may have missed either my post #2243 or #2299. Both were 30-pointers and my total shows 190 and yours is 160. I don't see any posts here about either post. Thanks for checking on this.

Just saw this. Thanks :)
Wayne wrote: "I think you've missed one of my 10 pointers, probably post 2204 which was for task 10.10. Thanks for checking this out."Hmmm... I seem to have everything. Up to post 2330 (so, not including task 5.4) I have the following tasks recorded:
5.2, 5.5, 5.7, 5.8, 5.10 = 5 x 5 = 25
10.1, 10.2, 10.4, 10.9, 10.10 = 10 x 5 = 50
15.1,15.2, 15.4, 15.6, 15.10 = 15 x 5 = 75
20.1, 20.5, 20.9, 20.10 = 20 x 4 = 80

For a total of 510. Let me know if you have something different in your records.
SCHATZIE - post 2353Task 10.5 requires a reference to authenticate an authorized continuation if the continuation is not obviously stated on the GR book page.
Ed - post 2380You've already claimed task 20.9 in post 2266.
Kristina Simon wrote: " SCHATZIE - post 2353Task 10.5 requires a reference to authenticate an authorized continuation if the continuation is not obviously stated on the GR book page."
Tell me what you need Kristina. It notes on the gr page that the series creator is Vince Flynn. And then it lists the author as Kyle Mills.
Do you need the death date of Vince Flynn?
