I didn't read a kindle edition, I read a copy that doesn't come up in the add book/author. I looked through all of the pages that come up for that book. If there is a way to search with the ISBN# in that link, I can't find it sorry - there's book or author. That's why I put a link to my read shelf, the copy shows up there just fine. I apologize for not being clearer in my post.

MindyrecyclesHi Kristina, I read the posting instructions but I'm still not clear on whether I should repost or just tell you here. In post 4098, I accidentally posted task 5.6 when I meant 15.6. I should have 260 points, not 250.

Sorry, sorry, I thought that would be repeating the obvious as it was just the one book. The rules don't say you have to and I don't post many GR authors so I don't know the unwritten ones. I'll remember for next time!
I have a New Years ambition to NOT appear to this list for the next challenge...

VICTORIA RODARTE - post 4208Task 25.1 requires that each book be about a country or countries on a different continent from the one in which you currently live. Since you live in the US and Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush is set in the US, it will not work for this task.

Hahahahah! OMG - I am such an idiot!
How the heck could I possibly have missed that?...
I'll just repost with Once and Future King, I don't imagine I'll be able to find a spare slot for the Agatha Christie at this late stage. They are like popcorn for me anyway - they only take a few hours to read.

You need to post the "**Patrick Rothfuss is GRA." with the associated task not after all your tasks.

MegantheMomma - post 4299Sorry, but The Iron Daughter will not work for task 25.3, option 6. The Iron Fey series consists of books #1, #2, #3, and #4. There is no book #5. Numbers 4.4 and 4.5 do not count because the task description states: For options 5 and 6, you should only count whole numbers in a series - "in between" books such as 3.5 don't count.
