Please check your total. I think your math went off between post 2826 (total 420) post and post 2884 (+ 30 should be 450)"
I agree. The readerboard has my total as 560 as of post 3250. This is correct on the readerboard but wrong in my most recent posts. Do I need to repost?
On the other hand I think you missed my GO ticket in post 3220. I have one in post #260, one in #2456 and one in #3220 but the readerboard only shows 2 through post #3250.

The readerboard is updated through post 3250 and your last post was 3275.
But that did clear up another problem- I "lost" a score on my spreadsheet and found it in your post.
Your current total is 40.

If you read an ebook, or audiobook use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition.
No MMPB, top PB = Timequake with 219 pages

Pasta Pinot & Murder appears to be an ebook without a print edition. You must have it approved for length in Ebook page verification in General Help.
Your post must include the line number of the approval in the ebook spreadsheet or a link/post number of the post in which the ebook was approved for length.
There is an edition without a format. If it is a print edition you may have a librarian update the record.

Ok, I will go have it verified. It's about comics, and by an author who had only previously done comics, but there is absolutely no art in it. Thanks! I will repost once it is verified.

Task 30.2 option 2 From posting requirements
If the task involves a picture on the cover of the book, you MUST include the cover itself in your post.

I think got lulled into a false sense of security because the actual task option didn't say "please post the cover", and I was rushing.

Please check your total. post 3158 = 420 + 30 = 450
However, in that post I also told you I moved one of the titles from 5.3. I never replaced that, to date, so my figuring is that the total should be 420 +30 - 5 = 445.
I've since added 20.4 (message 3423) so my totals now come to 465 (NOT the 470 listed on the Readerboard)
I've figured it several times and "465" is right. I will be adding my last couple of tasks for this challenge in a few minutes, so I want to base it on the correct figure.
