Tak 20.1 requires "Read a book with a medical setting/practice and whose main character is either a nurse, doctor or midwife. It is intended that the primary story is dependent on the medical practice. The GR description must include the mention of a doctor, a nurse, a midwife and/or the medical setting."
You included a reference to the doctor character, but I don't see the medical setting/practice. Please explain how this book fits the task and where the setting is referenced.
Mod
Task 20.8 requires "ONE book that fits the requirements for two of this season's 5- or 10-point tasks "

Task 30.8 requires "Books should be at least 250 pages each." Mistik Lake has 224 pages
I just saw my name on the Readerboard (yay!) but did not get a BB ticket for Hild, which was reported here. It is the first book I ever reported for this group so I'm sure it is my mistake. I read it on the Kindle, but the hardback is 560 pages.
you need to specifically say claiming BBT - i.e.Hild (big book ticket - 560pgs) - just the page count isn't enough
Mod
I sent you a message to help correct the problem
Mod
Hild (big book ticket - 560pgs) - just the page count isn't enough"
Dee's correct - without a specific ticket claim I don't know that you're claiming one - a lot of people don't claim tickets, but still report the number of pages in the books they read.

If you wish you to claim a GRA ticket, you must include the name of the author in your post and specifically claim a GRA ticket for that author. A tally 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.
