From posting requirements
If your book has the genre "childrens" or "kids" on its main page, it must meet the criteria specified in the Rules of the Challenge. AR Bookfinder information MUST be posted when the book is claimed for points or no points will be awarded (You can copy the AR BookFinder ratings)
MEGSCL - post 977Please check your math. No need to repost.
Simone - post 984Please repost the book in this message with the correct task number (10.6 was claimed in the post before this one).
Kaora - post 989Task 15.5 requires that you state the name of the Grammy artist when you post.
perletwo - post 993-995I know your internet is down and you're trying to use the mobile app on your phone. Frustrating, to be sure. Maybe this will help with links: To add a book manually, use this html without spaces --
[ book:title|number ]
To find the number that goes behind the |, go to the book's main page and copy the number that's behind show/
For example, for Speaking in Bones, the URL is:
goodreads.com/book/show/24338293
so you'd type in [ book:Speaking in Bones|24338293 ] -- taking out the spaces between [ and book and 3 and ]
Hope that helps a bit and I hope your internet is back up soon!
No need to repost task 30.2

Thanks, Simone. You'll need to repost the book (with links and task info) in the completed task thread so I can pick up your points.
Cat - post 1044Task 30.4, option A, book 2 requires a book with a cover showing one full human face. "A full face is defined as one in which two eyes, a nose, and a mouth are clearly visible."
does not have a visible mouth.
Blueberry - post 1064Task 25.5, option 3 includes all initials. There is no J in Kesha and/or Kina Grannis
Tami - post 1067Task 20.6, option 2 is a page number task. If you read an ebook, listen to an audiobook or read a Large Print edition use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition. Please review Rule 7 how to determine page numbers.
The 1st paperback edition of His Hand In the Storm has 274 pages and will not work for this option.
Mave - post 1112Please review the Posting Requirements: 12. Only one task may be included in a post.
Kaora - post 1120From the FAQs: "1. If a task calls for author’s initials, what name do I use for the last initial?
While there are great variations in names, we work with the general rule that the author’s last name is the final word in the name that is preceded by a space. We realize that this may not be technically accurate in every case, but this is the default rule."
Based on this default rule, the initials for Simone St. James are SJ, not SS.
