Just wondering - someone got Blood of Olympus verified as "not children's" I think back on the release date (10/10). Would Tea be able to use that approval?
if it was previosuly verified as no children, then she can use it - just needs to include the post number in her post

Hi, I reposted for 2361 with a link to the Paperback since I read the e-book, but for 2363 task 15.4 I read the hardcover and that is what I linked to so I'm not sure what I need to do to fix that one. Any guidance you could give would be appreciated. Thanks!
MICHAELA B - post 2425All posts for points, including reposts, must contain links to the books read. Please repost this task including links.

If you are claiming a big book ticket you need to include page count in your post
Ie - I read book x, it was 550pgs, claiming 1 big book ticket - or something like that
Ben K - post 2427Sorry, Ben. Smartcuts: How Hackers, Innovators, and Icons Accelerate Business doesn't really fit task 20.9, option 1. I see that the book is one of the New Releases Tagged "Business," but the task asks you to read a book from the first page of the Most Popular Business Books, which is here: Popular Business Books

Hi KristinaA slightly odd one here, but I think you have given me too many points!
My maths (double checked) has me on 500, not 510, on the basis that I have completed:
8 of 5 point tasks
8 of 10 point tasks
7 of 15 point tasks
7 of 20 point tasks
3 of 25 point tasks
2 of 30 point tasks
Thanks!

Something looked strange yesterday, but seems ok today. I've awarded the ticket. Sorry it was confusing.
Hi - I seem to be 10 points off. I double checked my math and I should have 355 not 345. I'm not sure where we varied - but maybe with my 10/7 post which was for 10.10 "It's Getting Dark Outside".I have checked this thread for issues and there hasn't been anything regarding that post

Problem found and fixed. Thanks, Catherine! Our numbers should match after the next update.

We have more than one Cynthia in the challenge, so it would be helpful on questions like this to include your Readerboard name. However, once I figured out that you're CYNBAXTER and not CYNTHIA, I did find one problem, which would bring your points up to 350. The Readerboard has only been updated to the Midpoint, which was post #2439. So, you last post, where you claim task 5.6 has not yet been counted. Once it has been, you'll be up to 355.
Annapoorni - post 2446Private India will not work for task 25.2, option A. In message 45 in the task help thread, task creator Elizabeth ruled that both author's initials of a co-authored book should be found in STRATEGY.
ColetteG - post 2460The edition of The Turn of the Screw you've linked to has only 87 pages, which would not work for a 15-point task. If this is not the edition you read, please repost this task linking to the edition you read.
Will do Kristina. Read a paperback so I just picked one. What is the page limit? It is a short book. Just on a Henry James kick, have plenty of other classics in my to read pile.ColetteG
Colette - all tasks (unless otherwise specified) have a min 100pgs
