Louise - post 534Marriage before Death - The edition you linked is the Kindle edition. The paperback has no page numbers listed. You will need to have a librarian update the paperback or have the ebook verified for length.

Louise, this is done. You can re-post.
Trisha - post 538Copying a post does not copy the html link. All completed task posts, including reposts, must include a link to the book you read.
Doing Dewey - post 547The task number you've posted does not match the task description you've given. Based on the description, I assume this post is supposed to be 15.5, not 25.5. If this is correct, no need to repost. Please adjust your records, as needed.
Coralie - post 550The task number you've posted does not match the task description you've given. Based on the description, I assume this post is supposed to be 5.6, not 5.7. If this is correct, no need to repost. Please adjust your records, as needed.
Nick KY - post 557Task 10.1 requires a book written by a single author. Ghosts and Grisly Things has 3 editors.
From the Default Rules & FAQs: 7. Do illustrators and translators count as authors for SRC purposes?
No. Only authors that are identified as authors (or a default blank in the author role field), co-authors, or contributors may be used for tasks involving author information. Other roles or functions such as editor, illustrator, artist, translator, introduction, designed by, foreword, preface, assistant or afterword may not be used for author-sourced tasks.

Thanks Kristina. Yes, it should have been 5.6. One of my records says 5.6, the other 5.7. Now all fixed.
Kristina Simon wrote: "Trisha - post 538Copying a post does not copy the html link. All completed task posts, including reposts, must include a link to the book you read."
That's so weird because I see the html linked on my end when I click on edit, even though I don't see it in the post. I reposted it again and it appears to have linked it.
JacquiP - post 572There is no JacquiP on the Readerboard. You requested your Readerboard name be JACQUI on 12/4/20. Please place this Readerboard name at the top of your completed task posts.
You will need to repost tasks 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 with JACQUI at the top of your post. Reposts are NEW posts to the completed task thread. Please do not edit or delete old posts.
Abbie Disco-Super-Fly - post 598List tasks such as 5.9 require that you state the page of the list where your book can be found. I can change the URL to take me to a specific page. I cannot quickly and easily navigate to a given book #.
Please repost this task with the required page number.
Abbie Disco-Super-Fly - post 600Task 10.5 requires that you read a second book by an author you first read in 2020.
When you post in the completion thread for points, you're required to link to the first book you read by the author and state the date you read that book. The first book must have been read between 1/1/20 and 11/15/20.
Claire - post 602Posting requirement #14. If a task contains multiple options, your post must specify the options that you are using.
I've figured it out and recorded your task but, in the future, please make sure to include which option you're using so I don't have to guess.
Abbie - post 604Task 15.1 requires that the artist name and song title you use must come from the SAME day.
Canned Heat: Larry Taylor played on Saturday (day 2)
8:30pm to 9:15pm, "Speak Like A Child" was performed on Friday (day 1)
Also, please make sure your Readerboard name appears at the top of every completed task post.

You're correct, I meant 15.5. Thanks for catching this. Can I edit the post to correct the numbering or will that re-order my post within the thread? Thanks!

Oma1229 - post 894Task 30.5, option 1 requires a significant portion of the plot/subject takes place in a healthcare setting. The setting must be evident on the book's main page. I do not see evidence of a healthcare setting on the main page of The Beacon at Alexandria. If it's there, please provide a link to the review that mentions how the book fits the task.
Oma1229 - post 896Task 30.7, option 2 is an author dependent task. From the Default Rules and FAQs: "8. What if a book has multiple authors in a task involving author names, initials, or other characteristics (gender, birthplace, etc.)?
The general default rule is that books by a single author must be used."
Island on Fire: The Extraordinary Story of a Forgotten Volcano That Changed the World has two authors and will not work for this option.

sorry missed that
MEGSCL - post 929The End of the World Is Bigger than Love - The edition you linked is the eBook edition. The paperback has no page numbers listed. You will need to have a librarian update the paperback before reposting this task.
Lys - post 944Task 15.1, book 1 requires that the book be written by a singe author. Heroes Among Us: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Choices shows a record of 2 authors. If this is incorrect, you will need to have a librarian update the Goodreads record before reposting this task.
LAUREN JODI - post 946Task 25.3, option 4 requires that you point out the yellow and blue when you post.
Simone - post 962The task number you've posted does not match the task description you've given. Based on the description, I assume this post is supposed to be 15.5, not 10.8 (again). If this is correct, there's no need to repost. Please adjust your records, as needed, and check your total.
Simone - post 970 Task 20.9 requires that your book have at least 250 pages. The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom has 242 pages.

Kristina Simon wrote: "Simone - post 970 Task 20.9 requires that your book have at least 250 pages. The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom has 242 pages."
There is no mass market paperback, only paperbacks. I just clicked the first paperback I could find. Other paperbacks have more than 250 pages. Does it matter which paperback I choose?
Kristina Simon wrote: "Simone - post 962The task number you've posted does not match the task description you've given. Based on the description, I assume this post is supposed to be 15.5, not 10.8 (again). If this is ..."
Yes, I forgot to change the title after copying and pasting.

Never mind, I just read the rules again and applied the strategy for when there is no mass market. It would still be the 242 pages. I'll find a different book then. No biggie!

Dlmrose in the length verification thread says there is a paperback version. Should I re-post with the link to that book rather than the Kindle version that I read?
