Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks
Mod
Task 10.9 requires that the cover depict a female figure with no other humans on the cover -
includes a male figure in the circle on the cover.
Mod
Please note that the Posting Requirements state:
"If you are claiming a BB ticket, you must include the number of pages in the book. Be sure that the link you provide goes to the edition you actually read, with the correct number of pages. If you used an ebook or an audiobook, include a link to the paper edition used to establish length. "
"over 750 pages" is not sufficient.
No need to re-post this time, but please keep this in mind for the future.

I have edited my original post to include the correct book cover. That little tiny pink circle is extra tiny on a phone screen and I didn't notice the difference!

Task 20.6 requires that you include in your post the date of publication of Book #2 in the series.
Mod
We have a number of SRC participants named Jackie. Please repost with your readerboard name.
Mod
Task 15.10 requires that you include in your post the month in which the book was listed.
Mod
Books with the genres Sequential art>Comics and Sequential Art>Graphic novels cannot be used for 20, 25, and 30 point tasks unless specifically allowed in the task itself. Task 30.1 does not allow these books.
See the Rules of the Challenge:
"5. Books whose main page lists any of these genres: Sequential Art, Comics, Comic Book, or Manga may only be used for 5, 10, and 15 point tasks unless specifically allowed in the task description for a higher point task. Task creators may allow the use of one book with a main page genre of comics, manga, etc. that fit the general SRC requirements per task."
"Collections of syndicated, periodical or internet comic strips, single or short-format panels, or cartoons must be at least 200 pages to be used for SRC tasks." This is also in the Rules of the Challenge. The books you have listed are <200 pages and are collections of comic strips, so cannot be used for SRC tasks.
Mod
Just a heads up - this is task 25.6, not 15.7. No need to repost - since you included the name of the task it was all fine. Just wanted to let you know so you can correct your own records!
Mod
Task 20.2 requires a book with at least 250 pages. Double Exposure has 224 pages.
Mod
Task 20.2 requires that you use all the initial letters of the words in the title, with author initials as an optional addition. Your word from A Duke by Default would have to include A D B D, so CAB won't work.
Sorry, misread the task. Annoyingly the same book works for opt 2 of that task so could have saved effort just using it there. I'll go and repost.
Mod
Task 15.2 is a 2 book task - "choose two different reasons why you might fall this fall, and read a book for each of those two options."
Please repost the task when you have read both books.

Thanks. I will use the book for a different task and find an alternative with the correct number of pages.

Sorry! I don't consider it a kids book but didn't check the genres list. There's nothing in the description to imply that it isn't a children's book, and isn't in AR Bookfinder, so I'll just read something else and repost.
Mod
See the Rules of the Challenge:

Task 20.1 does not specifically allow comics.
If you believe that this is NOT a comic book/graphic novel, you can request an exemption in Not Really a Comic Book or Graphic Novel.

Sorry, I totally missed that. It has already been approved as not a comic/graphic novel in the challenge thread, so I will repost and include that information.

Mod
Task 5.2 requires the author's initials to be found in Damsel in Distress. There is no "C" in the target phrase, so Robert Crais won't work for the task.
Thank you...I will repost with the correct information from the AR Bookfinder!
Mod
For 25.2, option 4, all of the letters in the word used must be found in the phrase. The title word of your book, Flames, includes an S, which is not found in the phrase.
Mod
Task 15.2 is a 2 book task - "choose two different reasons why you might fall this fall, and read a book for each of those two options."
Please repost the task when you have read both books.
Mod
Hyphenated words are treated as one word - so Hag-Seed can only be used for H, not for H and S.
Mod
All posts, including reposts, must include a link to the book.
If you copy a post and repost with corrections, the formatting will not carry over. You need to go to "edit" at the bottom of the post, copy that, and then when you paste it into a new post, you can make changes.
Mod
Something For Santa includes childrens as a MPG:

Contemporary 21 users

Please review the rules for the use of childrens books in the SRC. If you have had this book exempted in the Not Really for Kids thread, please repost with the line or post #.
Mod
Please see Posting Requirements:"16. Include an up to date total of points in your post. (For purposes of Moderators' Pet, math errors will be forgiven!)"
No need to repost these tasks, but please include your totals in future posts.
Mod
Please check your totals. Your previous post had a total of 25, plus 5 this time, gives you a total of 30. No need to repost - just correct your records so that we can keep our totals synched.
Mod
Task 15.2 is a 2 book task - "choose two different reasons why you might fall this fall, and read a book for each of those two options."
Please repost the task when you have read both books.
Mod
Amazing Grace appears to only exist in a kindle edition. If you have had this approved for length in the ebook verification thread, please repost with the post # or line # of the length approval.
Mod
if you are using author initials for 20.2 option 1, you need to use all of the author initials, not just one of them.
Mod
Please repost including a task number/name.
Mod
Task 30.2 requires that book 1 be by an author whose initials can be found in one of the group's readerboard name.
"Book 2 - Using the OTHER group not used in Book 1: Read a book with ALL of the letters of ONE of that group’s Readerboard names in the title and/or subtitle.
You have used the book 1 requirements for both of your books.
Mod
Task 30.3 requires that you choose two different options and read a book that satisfies each option - you can't use option 3 twice.
Mod
You already posted task 20.1, on September 17.
Mod
When you claim a Big Book ticket, you need to include the number of pages in your post - "500+" is not sufficient.
No need to repost this time, but please include the actual number of pages for any future BB claims.
Mod
Please include the task number/name in your post.
Queen Bee DarleneI believe my points are wrong. As much as I would like the extra points, I haven't earned them yet.
I should have 190, not 195.
These are the tasks that I have posted and given credit for:
5.2, 5.9, 10.3, 10.6, 10.10, 20.6, 20.9, 25.1, 25.7, 30.1, 30.5

Thanks for the heads up, Darlene - I found and fixed the problem! I especially appreciate the complete info in your post.
Mod
Task 20.6, option 3, requires that you include in your post the date of publication of book 2 in the series
Mod
Eve 2.0: The Ultimate Gaming Experience has no information about page numbers or format, and the only other edition listed is a kindle edition. If the edition to which you linked is a paper edition, you will need to have the pages added - you can request help in the anyone with librarian status thread.
If both these editions are ebooks, you will need to have the book approved for length in the ebook verification thread.
Mod
Just an FYI - D'Eramo is treated as one name, since there are no spaces in it. For future reference, the only initials you would have to consider here are LD.
No need to repost - this is just FYI for future use!
Mod
The Goodreads record for Ladies Who Punch, to which you linked, does not include a subtitle. We go by the GR record, not by anything on the book cover.
Sandy wrote: "Cindie post 865The Goodreads record for Ladies Who Punch, to which you linked, does not include a subtitle. We go by the GR record, not by anything on the book cover."
Librarian here.
The record for this edition was entered incorrectly. The person who entered the data put the subtitle in the field meant for the sorting data - it's been corrected, so go ahead and resubmit this.
Mod
Task 5.3 requires that you include in your post the page of the list on which your book is found.

If you have questions about your points on the Readerboard:
1. Make sure that the Readerboard has been updated through the post that you are concerned about.
2. Please check your math.
3. Check to see if one of your posts is listed in this thread with a question. If so, please make a NEW POST in the Completed tasks thread to clear up the question. DO NOT go back and edit the original post. I will not go backwards in the completed task thread to pick up points.
4. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and the POSTING REQUIREMENTS.
Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.
