Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks
Do we have to put the information down even if it is a UG? I checked the rules and they only say that "All AR Bookfinder information for MG or MY books MUST be posted when the book is claimed for points or no points will be awarded".

Hi Kristina,
Shoot, it was there when I posted the task, I didn't even think to get it verified! My mistake! I'm going to repost task 20.2 with a new book and move this book somewhere else.
