Task 20.1 Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant? has the genre sequential art. 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.

The task description states the following - so I took that to mean that for this task. Does it not override the overall general rule?

4. There are other transitions in life, and one that my mother is dealing with is aging. Read a book from one of these shelves: Memory or Aging. There are overlaps between the two shelves. As long as the book is on one of those shelves it will be OK. Required: State which list the book appears on and which page when posting.

OOOPS--Sorry, I didn't even see the children's at the bottom of the shelves :( when I posted. I totally missed the part in 20.3 where we had to post the song--I guess I just looked at the list of words we could match that the task creator provided for us. I re-posted already, I hope with the information needed.

[Bea]

@Victoria - That book was specifically inquired about in the task thread and disallowed as not meeting SRC rules.

Mods, I guess that was one clarification I failed to catch.

It does not override the genre rule. The use of Sequential Art genre books for 20+ point tasks needs to be allowed by the task creator with a specific exemption- like in tasks 25.8 and 30.8

[Victoria]

Ok, thanks. No big deal, it was coincidence that I read it and then thought it worked for a task.

Since you read 2 books by Tamera Alexander for this task, you can claim 2 GRA tickets - 1 per book.

No need to repost - I credited you with 2 tickets.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Heather R post 558

If you wish you to claim a GRA ticket, you must include the name of the author in your post.

Reposts must include all required info, including links. Please indicate at the top of your post that you are reposting to claim a GRA ticket, so that Dlmrose won't have to review your post again for points.

Aztec Gold appears to exist in ebook format only. Please see the Rules of the Challenge for information on how to deal with ebooks with no print editions.

This book also does not have series information. The series info appears in the title but there is no series listed in the GR series field. If you have information about this book and series you can have the recored updated by a GR librarian

I have recorded your 2nd claim as 5.10- though the task is "5.10 - Who's Your Muse?. Your total added 5 points and your book doesn't fit "15.10 All I Want For Christmas is U" If you meant something different just let me know.

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

That was a spreadsheet error on my part. You are correct - that book should have been claimed for 5.10.

Sorry for the confusion.

If you wish you to claim a GRA ticket, you must specifically claim a GRA ticket - a tally at the end of your post is not sufficient..

Reposts must include all required info, including links. Please indicate at the top of your post that you are reposting to claim a GRA ticket, so that Dlmrose won't have to review your post again for points.

Julie P post 603
In claiming your BB ticket(s), you linked to a kindle edition with over 900 pages. However, for BB purposes, ebook page numbers are not used. See Rule 7 in the Rules of the Challenge for how to determine page count for ebooks. There is no MMPB edition listed on GR, but the most popular paperback edition is 704 pages, which is the number I used for your GR ticket claim.

If you actually read a different edition with 953 pages, please repost, linking to that edition.

Sorry about that Sandy.....I actually read a paperback from the library. When reposting do I actually repost, or do I just correct the post 603?

[Dee]

Julie - if you have data that differs from GR, a librarian can change the data - post the ISBN/ page count etc

[Bea]

Julie, you have to re-post. Our mods do not go back to previous posts.

[Julie]

Thank you Bea!

crap, I shoulda known that 292 pages was too good to be true. I'll see what else I've got with a red cover.

It's fine to include more than one task in a post, but they must be reported in task number order. Please see Posting Requirements Please repost these tasks in task number order

Stephanie B post 653

Please see post 132 above - that explains why you did not receive a GRA ticket for your earlier post. Your repost to claim a ticket must be complete, with task number, links, etc.

[Julie]

Hi Mods--just wanted to mention that I think my Big Book Tickets are incorrect.

I have only read one Big Book that was 953 pages long. From reading the rules, I think that should be worth 2 BB Tickets.

On the readerboard, you have me down for 3 BB Tickets; I think you are giving me too much!

Thanks, you're right. I added your new post for the 2 BB tickets, but hadn't deleted the spreadsheet entry for the 1 ticket from your earlier post. All fixed now.
