OOPS Sorry that was my book for 15.4. I just transposed the two books into the wrong tasks. I have corrected task 30.1 and reposted it here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... which is Post #2992

Michael, the task requires that Science Fiction be later than the year 2100. A book with an undisclosed date must still meet that criteria even if the actual date is unknown. My considerations for rejecting this book are listed in the thread.

I saw your statement the first time. As I said above, you need to include a link to the edition used to establish the length.
See the Posting Requirements:
"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. "

Seriously?!?! A book full of sex is labeled childrens?! I didn't bother to check the genres, because it's so clearly an adult book. With anything that could possibly be marked children, I'm very careful to put the AR information because I know the requirement for that. Obviously there is no AR information for this book. Is there any sort of process to exclude that when it's so obviously incorrect?

yes, see the rules
e) If a book is clearly an adult book, but has "childrens" or "kids" listed as a main page genre and is not listed on AR Bookfinder, you may ask for it to be verified as an adult book in Not Kids Verification. You must include that the book has been verified as having a special exception by including the post number or google document line approval when you post in Completed Tasks.

If you are claiming a GR author ticket, you must state this in your post, not just put a tally at the end of the post. Your post includes two authors, and there is no indication of which you are claiming as a GRA.
Please repost indicating that you would like to claim a GRA ticket. Reposts must be complete so include book links and any necessary information.
When you repost for an author ticket, please indicate that at the top of your post, so that Dlmrose will know that she does not need to review the post for points.

Just FYI, please check your total. In post 3021 your total was 780 plus 65 (15 + 20 + 30) = 845.
I even looked at where I was on the readerboard versus where the new points would put me. I must have had a c/p error from the task post to my records (aka didn't do it). Thanks for catching...I would have been at the end with no tasks left wondering where I was missing points from. lol. *facepalm*Dlmrose wrote: "Morgan Faeriesfolly post 3168

I have a question!Under the Goodreads Author ticket list, I am listed under

Easily done. With the GRA/BB spreadsheet, I have to type the names in every time, and if I capitalize differently or whatever, it results in people having multiple personalities.
Looking at your previous posts, I see that you've listed it both ways, but more often as RockyNook, so I'll make it that!

Task 10.1 In your first post for this task, you stated that you rolled a 12
"random number 12 = 2003"
and so had to read a book published in 2003. You cannot generate a second random number for your re-post in order to use the book you first posted.
