Hi Dlmrose - I am recorded as having 9 big book tickets but I've actually only read one big book. I think you've confused it with my GR authors total.

Yikes! I pasted the same list twice. It should be fixed now. Thanks!
Our total points don't match. I have gone over my spreadsheet and I still get 720 total points. Below is a list of the 5 point tasks I have completed and the post they are located in. As we are just 5 points off I think one was missed. If there is a problem with anything please let me know.5.1 - post 2937

5.6 - post 3575
5.7 - post 3294
5.8 - post 3667

Thanks!!

Marika - post 3804The Best of Me will not work for task 25.3, option 2. All words count, so this title has four words, not three.

There was an issue in post 764 above- does that account for the difference?

Ok. Thanks
Masanobu - post 3930Task 20.3 requires a book that is at least 250 pages long. Your posts states that "In my edition, the novel El 19 de marzo y el 2 de mayo has 170 pages" so it's not long enough to work for this task.
Mhairi - post 3932Task 20.2 is a one-book task (all 20-pointers are one-book tasks). I've counted The Girl on the Stairs for this task since it is showing the genre "mystery" and Little Women isn't currently showing the genre "family." Feel free to move Little Women elsewhere. However, if you do so, please be aware that Little Women has the genre "children's" on its main page and, therefore, needs to be accompanied by the information required of children's books as spelled out in the Rules of the Challenge: Effective Fall 2014

I didn't get it verify. will move book and read something else for the task.
