Your point totals don't match with the Stacey on the readerboard. Please repost with your readerboard name.
Mod
Task 30.6, book 1, must be written by an author with a name from the given list of heroic names. Neither Kevin nor McNamara is on that list.
Mod
Your point totals do not match those of the person on the readerboard named Stacey. Please repost with your readerbaord name.
Mod
Effortless Journaling: How to Start a Journal, Make It a Habit, and Find Endless Writing Topics appears to be an ebook without a print edition. If you have had this approved for length in the Ebook verification thread, please repost with the approval post # or line in the spreadsheet. If not, you can request approval in that thread.

Sorry, forgot. It's fixed now.
Mod
Task 10.3 requires that you include in your post the page of the list on which your book is found.
Mod
Task 20.6 option 1 requires that your post include the year in which the book was a winner or nominee for the Giller Prize. I don't see the Giller Prize listed on the page for The Next Person You Meet in Heaven: The sequel to the Five People You Meet in Heaven, but if it was a winner or nominee, please repost with the year.
Sandy,Sorry, somehow I completely missed the Giller Prize requirement.
Good morning! I seem to be missing 30 pts from the readerboard. My last posts were 2512 and 2517, and I couldn't find any outstanding issues in the questions/problems thread. My total should be 520. thanks! Readerboard name: Danibean

Effortless Journaling: How to Start a Journal, Make It a Habit, and Find Endless Writing Topics
Sorry. I chose the wrong one. For whatever reason the option with SJ Scott as the author is ONLY the kindle version, but the one with Barrie Davenport as the author is the paperback version.
Mod
My total should be 5..."
Found and fixed. It would help quite a lot if you included a total in your posts - that's the way I cross check as I'm working on the spreadsheet. Since you don't include totals, it's not clear if one of your posts was skipped over - and life can intervene when I'm working on the spreadsheet.
Mod
Please check your totals - I show you with 465, 445 after your previous post, plus 20 this post.
No need to repost - this is just to keep our records synched.
Sandy wrote: "it would help quite a lot if you included a total in your posts."Will do! Thanks!
Good morning! I have a different total from what is currently shown on the Readerboard. My previous listed total was 290. I added 2 25 point tasks in post 2718 and 2719, but my readerboard total is only showing 315. I don't see any issues listed here so thought I would check. My reader name is StaceyNC. Thanks!
Mod
see post 215 above

Please check your totals. 220 after your previous post, plus 30, gives you 250 total.

Task 20.7, option 3, requires that the author initials be found in SYLVESTER STALLONE. JoJo Moyes won't work for this task, as there is no J or M in the target name.
Mod

Mod
Please see the Posting Requirements:
"If you are claiming a BB ticket, you must include the number of pages in the book. " "500+ pages"" is not sufficient.
NOTE: You received credit for the task, not the BB tickets. You will need to repost with the correct and complete info to receive these.
Mod
We do not use the ebook page numbers for any purposes in the challenge. The top paperback edition of The Golden Dynasty has 456 pages and does not qualify for a BB ticket.
Mod
Task 20.8 has a 300 page minimum. Books without a print edition cannot be used for tasks with a specific page requirement.
Oma 1229Did I get credit for my post #2930?
Mod
Did I get credit for my post #2930?"
yes
Mod
The phrase laNd of LiNcolN has 3 N's in it.
Brown Enough: a tale of a mixed-race baseball team, summer of '56 only has 2 N's, so will not work for the task.
Mod
Please check your totals. I show you with 185 - 175 after your last post, plus 10 this time.
No need to repost - just trying to keep our records synched.
Mod
Task 20.6, option 3, requires a book first published in 1981. March Forward, Girl: From Young Warrior to Little Rock Nine was first published in 2018.
Mod
As the task says, it's a 2 book task. You can't use one book for multiple options unless a task explicitly says so.
