Book Club appears to be a collection of comic strips. Please see 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."

Sorry about that - I misread that rule.
Mod
Please check your totals - I show you with 50 points. No need to repost.
Also, just FYI, we stopped tracking GR authors some time ago.
Mod
Please check your math. 30 after post 144, plus 30 this post, gives you a total of 60. No need to repost - this is just to keep our totals synched.
Mod
Only 1 task may be included in a post. Please see the Posting Requirements and post 1 in the Completed Tasks thread.
Mod
If you are claiming a Big Books ticket, you must say so explicitly. A listing of totals at the end of your post is not sufficient.
Your points for the task itself have been counted.
Question regarding the Readerboard:I claimed 20 points in post #93 for a total of 40 points, but I'm still at 20 points on the Readerboard. Is there is problem with my post as I don't see my name here?
Thanks very much :)

Sorry, Lauren, found and fixed. It will show up in the next update.
Mod
The Bennett Case appears to only exist on Goodreads in ebook form. If you have had it approved for length in the Ebook verification thread, please repost including the spreadsheet line number or the post number in which it was approved.
If not, you will need to get the book approved for length in that thread.
Mod
Task 20.8 requires that you use an equal number of letters from EACH word in the title, not just two of them.

Oops, I misunderstood. I’ll use a different book for this task.
Mod
Task 5.4 requires that you include in your post a link to the listopia that you used.
Mod
GO tickets are only awarded for books published in or before 1950. Your points for the task itself have been recorded. No need to repost - just correct your records re GO tickets.
Mod
Task 30.6, option 4, requires that you identify your continent, as well as the continent where the book is set.
Mod
The edition of I Am Pilgrim to which you linked has 612 pages. If you actually read an edition with more pages, you'll need to repost, linking to the edition that you read.
In the meantime, I have included the task points and 1 BB ticket.

Sorry about that-I did read the longer addition-but no worry-1 ticket is fine-I read more BB's than a normal person should-LoL, I am sure I will make up the difference-LoL
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 "500+"
Mod
Please check your totals - I show you with 285. Looks like the problem was with your post of 25.2, where it looks as if you only added 15 points.
No need to repost - just trying to keep our totals synched.
Mod
You posted Ajax Penumbra 1969 - that has only 65 pages and does not qualify for use in the SRC.
Mod
Task 10.1 requires that you include a link to the reference establishing the author's birth year.
Mod
FYI, we do not use ebook pages for the SRC. Fortunately, the paper edition of your book has 255 pages, so still fits the task, but you should keep this rule in mind for future posting.
Mod
And here comes the problem - the book you posted for option 3 has 202 pages in the paper edition, so does not work for this task.

reposted - sorry sandy!

And I was doing so good! One day I'm going to not get any problems with my tasks!!!

I already had 10.9 on my spreadsheet - that's why I had 10 more points than you did!

Sorry, I have no idea. I don't use a phone for posting and I have heard others say that using the phone does limit things.

If I can step in here Sandy? Jayme, if you use the website you can do most things on your phone-but you cannot use the APP(basically because it stinks-)
Mod
Task 15.10 requires that you include in your post the page on which your book is found.
@Joanne,I am on the goodreads website through the internet on my phone. Can i list the listopia and state the page number the book is on?

Not sure Jayme-I do not use it very often and that I have not tried. You will just have to give it a go and see-

I assume you mean option 4, since there are only 4 options in task 25.6. That option requires that the author initials be found consecutively in the phrase - not spread out. TT is not found consecutively in the phrase.

I can't link it using my phone. I don't have computer access right now .

I guess you'll have to wait to post this task until you do have computer access.

Would it be ok if another person posts the task for him, indicating his readerboard name? If so, I'm volunteering myself to do this (in case he also agrees with that).

You just copy and paste the url of the listopia. e.g. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
