I figured it was a risk, but my brain was screaming at no differentiation from the rest of the text. Should have gone with underscore. lol.

So, do we have to find the mass market paperback book for every e-book we read and only post that edition in our completed tasks posts even if there is no page requirement for that task except the usual 100 page one? I've always just posted the first edition that comes up (the most popular one) unless I have a reason to pick a specific edition - there is a page requirement for the task, I wish to claim big book tickets or I need to post the cover. I do this with all my books regardless of the format I read them in and have never been told of an issue before.
