Task 25.10, option 1, task 1, requires that you include a reference to establish the marital status of the author. I don't see any reference in your post.

You linked to Food: A Love Story, which has 340 pages and does not fit the task. You need to use the page number for the edition you read, unless it was an ebook or an audio edition.

Go to the site, copy the address in the bar above it. Paste that link into your post. As an example, the bar on this page shows https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/....

Resubmitted. However, I seem to be missing the points for either post 3900 or 3901, and I don't see any problem listed here.

That is my misunderstanding then. I thought the and/or 16 would be sufficient.

the readerboard was only updated through post 3900, so would not include 3901.

You linked to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo which has 391 pages and does not fit the task. You need to use the page number for the edition you read, unless it was an ebook or an audio edition.

McSweeney's 60, (noted as "Photography Issue") does not appear to contain sufficient text even for the one 5 point task exception. The description on Amazon notes that each story is accompanied by "full spread, elaborately-staged photographs." With 8 stories, then, that would include at least 16 pages of photography, bringing this down to a possible maximum of 76 pages of text (not even taking into account pages that are not actually part of the stories).

Reposted! A stray quotation mark messed up the HTML.

I don't see any listing in the linked list of films for one with the word "Sea" in it, so this book won't work for the task.

Is it only the "Select Filmography"? The full list of her feature films includes "The Sea of Grass."

yes. That's what the task states and that was the answer when this question was asked in the help thread.

The version I read was an audiobook, which was why I left a note that the paperback edition was 352 pages -- I didn't realize that I had to find the link for that specific edition, my apologies!

Same issue that I had with one of my other tasks -- this time I read the ebook, so left a note rather than looking up the specific edition. Things to note for the future if I try this again! Thanks!

The problem is that you linked to hardcover books, then talked about page numbers for paperback books. There was no notation that you had used an audiobook or an ebook, so it looked as if you read a hardback, then just picked a paperback for the page numbers.

The easiest thing to do is to note that you read an ebook or audiobook, and then link to the top MMPB or pb.
