Paternity Case The only vote for the book on the Best Plot Twists list is yours.

3. For tasks that require reading a book from a Goodreads listopia list or shelf, the book must appear on the list or shelf when you access it and the player may not add books to the list to be used for that task.

Task 20.5 requires "Indicate...whose shelf you used and state the date it was added to the TBR shelf."
Mod
Task 30.10 option 2 book 2 requires "Point out the red and white on the cover."
Mod
Task 30.9 option A requires " The book should be set completely in Africa, with only minor exceptions. "
The PB edition you linked states " Set between Nigeria and Cyprus, "
Please explain how this book fits the task.
Sorry about that, I meant to change to option C, as the book also fulfills that option. Reposted.
I didn't see that genre pop up. But I see you added that task to my point total anyway, even though it showed up here on the naughty list. Can you double check because my math could very well be off?

Maybe the task description should say that the chosen book should have been added before the beginning of the challenge. I specifically searched for this requirement in the task description.
I don't find the wording in the rules "when you access it" covering this case, especially since everyone keeps adding books in their TBR shelf.

Task 30.5 Book 2 How to Stop Time is not a question answered post 17 help thread
Mod
Just FYI -
>If there are multiple editions in a format:
From the editions page (click all editions on the main book page)
Set the Format, beginning with Mass Market Paperback
Set the Sort By as "num ratings"
Use the top edition result to determine the page number for ebooks and audiobooks
MMPB De politiemoordenaar 284 +
Slugfest 276 +
PB Agatha Raisin and the Potted Gardener 192 = 752
No need to repost.
For Cop Killer, none of the MMPBs are in English and I always worry about using a non-English book to verify page count on a book I read in English, as different languages result in different page counts (http://www.media-lingo.com/gb/faqs/wi...). So I used the top PB, which is also the one that corresponds to the page count/edition of the Harper Perennial ebook I read, which is what you want us to do with physical books, and is also the top one that comes up if you just check "all editions".
On the Agatha Raisin one, there was no MMPB, so again, I used the PB that corresponded to the page count/cover/edition of the kindle one I read, which is what you want us to do with physical books.
Still, at least the page count still works for the total, and that's the main thing! Consider me reminded.

Yeah, I was afraid of this - got a substitute from the same series that *is* listed with the Bryant and May in the title going, and should be ready to repost with it by tomorrow morning. Sorry, the title looked so clearly like "Bryant and May Off the Rails" that it didn't even occur to me to check the page.
