argggh. On the up, I think the book I'm going to replace will fit one of the tasks that's been posted since I put this up, so maybe it won't go to waste so to speak.
Joanne MI - post 60Please check your math. No need to repost.
Cat - post 76Task 30.1 - Judge Walden - Call the Next Case: With an introduction by Judge Rinder and a foreword by Baroness Hale of Richmond, President of the UK Supreme Court appears to be an ebook without a print edition.

It's got a paperback, just not on GR yet. I'll add it so you can repost.
TessaVanessa - post 252Task 15.3 - Game Changer by Tommy Greenwald has AR points of 4.0, not 7.0, and is not eligible for points in the SRC. AR BookFinder page
Ava Catherine - post 258Task 30.4, option A, book 2 requires that you include the cover in your post.

Thanks Kristina. Did you add the paperback version yet?

Aprilleigh, actually, and yes, the paperback has been added - no cover, but the rest of the details are there. I'm not sure why it's not showing on the Kindle edition's page, but if you click on All Editions it will show up.
Okay so I'll post that task again. Thanks Aprilleigh!
Jammin Jenny wrote: "Okay so I'll post that task again. Thanks Aprilleigh!"Make sure to point out the fact that the paperback edition is there even if it doesn't show - either link it or explain how to find it.
Kristina Simon wrote: "Ava Catherine - post 258Task 30.4, option A, book 2 requires that you include the cover in your post."
Well, of course, it does. Sorry about that. I will repost later today.
Aprilleigh wrote: "Jammin Jenny wrote: "Aprilleigh wrote: "Kristina Simon wrote: "Jammin Jenny - post 245Task 20.9 - A Novel Way To Die appears to be an ebook without a print edition. You must have ..."
Thanks for adding that, Aprilleigh. The paperback edition appeared just fine when I verified Jammin Jenny's post this morning. I think it may take a little while for the database to update. That might be why you didn't see it right away.
Jammin Jenny -- just an FYI, the Amazon link doesn't do a whole lot of good. With thousands of posts to verify per season, the SRC mods won't go outside of GRs to verify books. It's simply too time consuming. If, in the future, you have a similar situation, we have a thread under General Help called "anyone with librarian status...." You can request changes to the GRs records (adding print editions, covers, settings, etc) in that thread before posting your completed tasks. This not only helps the SRC moderators but it also adds to the completion of the GRs records for all users.
Beth NC - post 297Task 25.5 requires that you post a LINK to your chosen playlist
PegW - post 301The GRs record for The Mysterious Affair at Styles is incomplete. It does not have a first published date.
From the Rules of the Challenge: 6. If information in a Goodreads record is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask a Goodreads librarian to update the record if possible. Information required for a task, such as missing print edition page numbers, should be corrected before you post.
You can find the Goodreads librarian thread in the General Help folder.

Already updated
Beth NC - post 321Task 25.5 - the link to your chosen playlist isn't working. If you're not sure how to format a link, just copy the URL and paste it into your post. That usually works...
Kristina Simon wrote: "Pat - post 80Task 5.7 - I do not see The Murmur of Bees on p. 23 of the required list. Please repost with the correct page number."
That's weird. It was on page 23 when I posted, but it's moved up to page 9, #783 now.
I moved this book to task 20.5, and I'll repost another book for task 5.7. The 20.5 task was harder to fit and this book worked great for it.
Sorry for the confusion!

Hi Kristina, I made a mistake on my first post for task 15.8 and only claimed 10 points. So a summary of my tasks and point so far:
Task 5.9 - post 32 - 5 points
Task 10.4 - post 352 - 10 points
Task 15.3 - post 94 - 15 points
Task 15.8 - post 24 - 15 points
Task 25.5 - post 380 - 25 points
Total should be 70 points. Apologies for my mistake. Amy B

OK, thanks. That's how I have it recorded. No need to repost.
Fiona (Titch) - post 514Task 10.2 - None of the words in the title Murder of the Bride can be made from the letters in SPRINGTIME.
Simone - post 545Task 25.3, option 5 requires a book with a page count between 182 pages and 228 pages. Killing Gravity has only 176 pages.
Simone - post 547Task 25.5, option 1 - the book that inspired the playlist What Would Jane Austen Do is Dangerous Alliance: An Austentacious Romance. That's the only book that will work for option 1. You can see all the playlists and links to the books that inspired them in post 2 of the help thread.
aaaah, I misunderstood 25.5 then. I will post when I'm done with that task then and I will repost 25.3 with a different book. Thanks
Charlston - post 608Charlston is not on the current list of readerboard names. Please repost with your readerboard name.
LAUREN JODI - post 610Task 5.1 - Zane is listed as the editor of Honey Flava, not the author.
From the Rules of the Challenge: Only authors that are identified as authors (or a default blank in the author role field), co-authors, or contributors may be used for tasks involving author information. Other roles or functions such as editor, illustrator, artist, translator, introduction, designed by, foreward, preface, assistant or afterword may not be used for author-sourced tasks.
Blueberry - post 686Task 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 mass market edition of No Exit has 296 pages and will not work for this option.
