Thank you!

Do I need to go in and "unclaim" this task on the completed task thread?
Thanks!

No - you only have to unclaim if you posted and got credit for a task. If your post didn't work, then it never happened!

I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf is "a collection of one and two page comics" that is only 128 pages.
Please see the Rules of the Challenge:
"Collections of syndicated, periodical or internet comic strips, single or short-format panels, or cartoons must be at least 200 pages to be used for SRC tasks."
Sandy wrote: "Helen B post 2355Task 30.1, option 1B, is a cover task and the cover must be included in your post."
I will repost with the cover. Sorry!
Mod
All posts, including reposts, must include a link to the book claimed. If you are trying to just copy and edit your previous post, you need to click on "edit" at the bottom of the post, then copy that screen. Just copying the printed post will not preserve the links.
Mod
Please check your totals. I show you with 230 after this post. From looking at your posts, it looks as if you carried over your totals, post to post, without deducting the 5 points when your first posting of 5.1 was disallowed.
Mod
Please check your totals - I show you with 280, not 380. I'm sure it's just a typo, but if you use previous posts to get to your new totals, this is going to lead to some confusion.
Mod
Please check your totals - I show you with 780 - 775 after your previous post, plus 5 this post.
Mod
Please see the Posting Requirements
"If you are claiming a BB ticket, you must include the number of pages in the book."
It is not sufficient to say "over 500 pages"
You have received credit for the task. If you want to repost to claim a BB ticket, please include all the information from this post (including links), and note clearly at the top of the post that you are posting only for the purpose of claiming a BB ticket.
Mod
Please check your totals. This is a 25 point task, not a 30 pointer.
Mod
Task 50.1, option 2(a) requires that you include in your post the page on which your book is found.
Sandy wrote: "KatrinaT post 2062Task 20.8 requires that you use an equal number of letters from each word i the title. I don't see anything in Sisters that comes from "of" or "Baba""
Sorry, I reread that task wrong, I thought if the title had 5 words in it, you needed a word that was 5 letters. I'll reassign the book to another task. Thanks
Mod
Please check your totals. I show you with 555, not 355. No need to repost.
Mod
Task 20.6 requires a book with at least 310 pages. The top pb edition of Quarter Share has 235 pages.
Sandy wrote: "Julia103 post 2676Task 20.6 requires a book with at least 310 pages. The top pb edition of Quarter Share has 235 pages."
Oops, I missed that. I'll look for somewhere else to use this book.
Thanks.

I swear my brain isn't right lately...I knew that but was mindlessly keyboarding incorrectly for two task claims. THANK YOU! Sorry for making your work harder! :(

If you are claiming a BB ticket, you must include the actual number of pages - "over 500" is not sufficient.
You have received the points for the task. If you want to repost to claim a BB ticket, please repost the task completely and indicate at the top of the post that this is just to claim a BB ticket.
Mod
Task 30.2 requires that one of your books be a re-read and that you indicate in your post which book fits this requirement.
Mod
Task 15.6 requires that you specify the "something red" on the cover.
Mod
Book with the main page genre sequential art can only be used for 20, 25, 30 point tasks if they are specifically allowed in the task description. task 30.3 does not allow book with this genre.
" Books whose main page lists any of these genres: Sequential Art, Comics, Comic Book, or Manga may only be used for 5, 10, and 15 point tasks unless specifically allowed in the task description for a higher point task. Task creators may allow the use of one book with a main page genre of comics, manga, etc. that fit the general SRC requirements per task." See the Rules of the Challenge

"Collections of syndicated, periodical or internet comic strips, single or short-format panels, or cartoons must be at least 200 pages to be used for SRC tasks." This book has only 112 pages.

yes, you'll have to do a new post if you want to get credit for the task.
