Jayme - what kind of phone you using? Normally after you copy something if you tap where you want to place it and hold your finger in that position for a few minutes you should get a paste option

Task 20.1, option 3, requires that the title of the book have 3 or more words and that the initial letter of each word of the title appear in SMELLYCAT. The target word does not have an O or an F.

Kim O post 548

Please include an up to date total in your posts. No need to repost, but please do that in the future.

try touching the screen and holding your finger on the screen for about 10sec (assuming its a touchscreen phone) and you might get a small block that pops up that says copy/paste etc

I misunderstood, I read as 3 or more of the words must have initial letters in SMELLYCAT. I will use this book for a different task. Sorry, thanks.

I could copy the url but not paste.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I don't have the instruction manual on me.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I figure it out, thank you,

Task 10.1 requires that you include a link to something establishing the author's birth year. The link you posted simply leads to a google search.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Sally M post 629

Please check your totals. Your total in your previous post was 625, plus 25 here, should give you 650. No need to repost - this is just to keep our totals synched.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Queen Bee Darlene post 642

Please check your totals. I show you with 80 points after your previous post, plus 10 here, for a total of 90. No need to repost - this is just to keep our records synched.

Jen B post 688

From its description, it does not appear that Recursion involves survival in a dystopian setting. It appears that there is a syndrome affecting some people, but not some sort of mass disaster having happened, which requires a survival scenario. If there is a mass disaster, resulting in a dystopia in which people are trying to survive, please explain.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Wayne wrote: "Oops ... Typo!
Message 674 should be for Task 25.10, not 20.10
Do I have to repost? (Totals are right)"

nope. Since you included the task name as well as the number, I was able to identify it and credit you with 25.10.

Thanks, I'm reposting with explanation

Task 20.8 requires that you use an equal number of letters from EACH word in the title, not just two of them.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Anna N post 748

Please see the Posting Requirements
and the first post in this thread. Only one task may be included in a post.

Also, please see the Readerboard Names Thread post 907. You are already on the readerboard names list as G.Q.

Concerning Post #613

Yes, my link did go to a google search. However on the right hand side of the page there was listed biographical information concerning Tamara Myers which included her birth date

Tamar Myers
Tamar Myers is the author of the Belgian Congo series and the Den of Antiquity series as well as the Pennsylvania-Dutch mysteries. Born and raised in the Congo, she lives in North Carolina.

Tamar Myers - HarperCollins Publisherswww.harpercollins.com › author › tamar-myers

Oops, misread that! I'll have to use this book for a different task. Thanks!

Nicole OH post 764

You already claimed task 30.9, on June 19.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Karen D post 780

Task 30.9, option 6, requires a MPG of Historical Fiction, as well as a setting in the listed states. That genre is not showing for Heat & Light. Genres at review:

Fiction 162 users
Contemporary 21 users
Literary Fiction 12 users
Novels 12 users.

If you have previously had this verified for historical fiction, please repost with the post # and thread of the verification.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Sophie post 788

For tasks that are author sourced (such as author initial tasks) the book must be written by a single author, unless the task specifically allows multiple authors. Five Feet Apart lists 2 additional contributors to the book.

OMG I am such an idiot. I guess I forgot to strike through it on my list. I am never ever getting my name tossed in for Moderator's Pet try as I might EVERY time I do the challenge. Sorry for that! :)

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Tien post 838

Task 30.9, option 2, requires that the letters TENT be found intact in a single word, not spread out through the title.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Kim O post 886

As pointed out to you in post 57, you need to include an up to date total of your points in each post. It appears that perhaps you are attempting to include some sort of total, but it isn't working.

Please repost with your total.

The total is there. I don't know why I have to repost, but I will.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Sara G post 939

Task 20.6 requires a book of at least 310 pages. The Uncommon Reader does not meet this page minimum. The top MMPB is La Reine des lectrices with 121 pages, and the other editions appear to all have similar or lower page counts.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Sophie post 951

Task 15.6 is a cover task - you must include the cover in your post. And the task requirements state that you must also specify the red object on the cover.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

MegSCL post 958

Japan does not appear to be listed as one of the countries where fewer than 50% of the people speak English. If I'm missing it (I've checked the link as well as the list in the help thread), please point it out.

Your previous posts did not show a total. this is what showed:

"Totals:

[image error]
Big Books - 500+: 0
Big Books - 750+: 0
Golden Oldies: 0
Tasks completed: 2"

I assume from the "image error" that you were trying to use a ticker to show your totals. Your repost shows an actual numerical total.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Shelby post 968

Since the cover you posted was for the kindle edition, you need to look at the top paperback edition for the page count. The top edition NoX has only 453 pages and does not work for a BB ticket.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Jammin Jenny post 969

Please keep in mind that we do not use ebook page numbers. In this case, you're fine with the BB claim, since the paperback editions are over 500 pages - but this will not always be the case, so keep an eye on this in the future.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Cat post 970

Task 20.1, option 6 requires "Read a book with the letters BE intact in the title." The letters cannot be spread out through the word.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Krista KY post 976

Task 30.20 requires a minimum combined page total of 601 pages. The top pb of Nothing to See Here has 254 pages, and Bring Me Back has 291 pages, for a total of 545 pages.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Coralie post 990

Please check your totals - should be 95. No need to repost.

I can't see it either, I thought I did but maybe I made it up. I'll change the task

[Cat]

Just wanted to double check my total. I think I should have 390 points though post 1000 (and accounting for my bad posts):

1*10 (task 6, msg 971)
1*15 (task 9 msg 269)
3*20 (tasks 3, msg 208; 4, msg 881; 8, msg 198)
5*25 (tasks 4, msg 749; 5, msg 413; 7, msg 118; 8, msg 841; 12, msg 866)
6*30 (tasks 1, msg 27; 2, msg 549; 4, msg 522; 5, msg 785; 6, msg 808; 11, msg 702)

Argh, I even had a note to myself to remember to add that info. Sorry.

You're right, Cat - I've got it fixed, so it will show up in the next update. Thanks for the useful info for finding the problem!

Cindie post 1035

Please check your totals - should be 115. No need to repost.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

KTKizzie post 1053

FYI, we do not use ebook pages for any purpose in the SRC. See the Rules of the Challenge for how to determine page count when you use an ebook, audiobook, or Large Print book.

In this case, the appropriate versions of the book will give you a BB ticket - no need to repost - but this could present a problem for you in the future.

Whitnie I post 1060

Task 5.2 requires that you include in your post the page of the list on which the book can be found.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Whitnie I post 1063

Task 30.11, option 2, requires that you state that you have never visited the country where your book takes place.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Whitnie I post 1065

Task 30.6, option 4, requires that you identify the continent on which you live.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Whitnie I post 1070

The edition of Victoria to which you linked has 404 pages. This does not meet the requirements of the task.
