Barbara ★ - post 3797We don't use page numbers for ebooks in the SRC. Following the procedure set out in the Rules of the Challenge for determining page numbers for ebooks and audiobooks, the most popular paperback edition (there is no MMPB) of Unloved has 370 pages and will not work for task 25.5, option 4.
Tien - post 3806Task 25.3, book A requires a book with a one or two word title. The Ghost's Child has a 3 word title.

Ack! Sorry for another mistake.
I think I have too many BB tickets credited. My tally is 12 but the readerboard has 13. I think this is because when I moved books between tasks something probably got credited twice.My records show:
10.4 - one ticket
20.9 - one ticket
25.1 - two tickets
25.3 - one ticket
25.8 - one ticket
30.1 - three tickets
30.4 - two tickets
50.1 - one ticket
Do you need the book titles & pages?

Found and fixed. Thanks, Julia!
SALLY M - post 3805Task 20.2, option 3 calls for a number in the title.
From FAQ
5. We treat hyphenated words, including names, as one word.
3. What about tasks calling specifically for a number in the title?
The default rule is that a number must stand alone - so, if a task calls for "nine" in the title, "nineteen" would not work
By this reasoning, The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line will not work for this task.

By this reasoning, NOS4R2 will not work for this task.
loafer - post 3814While there the first MMPB of The Charm School doesn't have any page numbers, the second one does. That edition has 630 pages and is eligible for 1 BB ticket. No need to repost, just letting you know you need to revise your BB ticket total.

I'm so sorry. The book Embryo by J.A. Schneider appears on the SRC verification list at row 918. I will repost.

Thanks, Sarah. I've fixed your points in the spreadsheet. Your corrected total will show up on the Readerboard in the next update.
Caseyw - post 3956Task 20.6, option 3 requires that you include the cover when you post.
Deborah - post 4012You've already claimed task 5.7 in post 3846.
Bekka - post 4028Task 5.10 only allows for books with the main page genre Childrens or Kids that are not found in AR Bookfinder. It does not allow the use of Childrens books that are found in AR Bookfinder but do not meet SRC requirements. City of Ghosts is on AR Bookfinder and does not meet the requirements for use in the SRC. Therefore, the book cannot be used.

I don't know what I was thinking, I have it on my spreadsheet for task 5.4.

That's fine but, out of fairness, I will skip your posts in favor of people who have posted all season long. If they have problems with their posts, they should have the opportunity to fix them before the deadline.
ETA -- I mean skip them initially, while we head down to the wire. I will get around to them in the end... but it may be past midnight. ;-)

Since your total and the total for Louise are way off, I'm assuming your Readerboard name is not Louise. Please repost with your Readerboard name at the top of your post (otherwise, Louise gets your points.... ;-)
