The book you linked in the post is not, I think, the book that you are actually claiming for this task.

You are right....It is fixed. Sorry
Mod

Mod
Task 20.8 requires that you use an equal number of letters from EACH word in the title, not just two of them.
Mod
Business as Usual appears to only have an ebook edition - so cannot be used for a task with a minimum page requirement. Task 30.11 requires a minimum of 500 pages.
The Hobbit, or There and Back Again includes Childrens as a MPG. Task 30.11 does not allow the use of Childrens books.
Mod
task 25.3, option B, requires a book first published in a year containing a 3. Bloodfire Quest was first published in October 2012, so does not work for this option.
Hello, I double checked and bloodfire quest was published March 12 2013 not 2012. Can you please look again
Mod
The Goodreads record shows 2012. If you have evidence that this is inaccurate, I suggest that you ask a librarian to change the record.
Whitnie, that copy of Bloodfire Quest was published March 12, 2013, but Sandy is referring to the date that the book (in any edition) was published. It was first published in German by Blanvalet Taschenbuch Verlag on October 16, 2012.This is the info on GR.
However, I cannot find any mention on Worldcat of an edition before 2013.
Mod
Task 25.7, option 2, requires that the title and the author name both include a double set of consonants. A double set of vowels doesn't work for this.

Sorry about that!
Reposted with cover.
Mod
Not Dead Yet only appears to be on GR in ebook and audio form. If you have had it approved for length in the ebook verification thread, please repost with the post # of the approval or the line # on the spreadsheet.
Same problem with Rend
Mod
There's no information in the author info for Qinghan CeCe, and nothing I can see in the GR info that indicates gender. Since this task requires a female author, you'll need to provide something to establish the author's gender.

Darn! Somehow, I totally missed that it said ‘consonants’! I will read another book to complete the task. Do I just post again when the task is complete? Thank you!
