D'oh! I totally missed the page requirement.
Sorry for all the rearranging I had to do to fit the books back into proper slots. I hope I got the unclaiming/reclaiming right.
Mod
Sorry, Cat. Task 25.4 specifically disallows any books with Childrens as a main page genre. When I mentioned this before, I only noticed that it had Childrens and that you had not included ARBF info. When I re-read the task to review this post, I realized that the task specifically states that Childrens books were not allowed.
Mod
The Ultimate Pet Health Guide: Breakthrough Nutrition and Integrative Care for Dogs and Cats appears to be an ebook without a print version. To use it, you will need to get it verified for length in the Ebook Verification Thread.

Kathy KSAs much as I would love to have a good chance writing a task next season, I'm afraid the count of my Big Books seems to be off.
When I checked right now, it said I have "4".
My records show that should be "1" from #20.3 (message 537: by Kathy)

Thanks so much for the heads up, Kathy - the problem is found and fixed! And, you never know - chance does its own thing, and I've seen it many times - random chance doesn't always result in the person with the most BB tickets actually getting the task!

Task 25.1 requires that both books be new to you and that you state this in your post.
Mod
Your post only includes a link to one book.
Mod
Your link for book 1 leads to a different book, with no page numbers. Please repost with a link to the book you actually read.

Well, that was weird!
I've re-posted. Thanks.
Bookwrm526 So sorry about the weird posting issues, I'm reposting them now!
Mod
You have linked to a kindle edition of Everywhere and Every Way. Using the rules in the Rules of the Challenge, you must use the MMPB for the number of pages. That is Everywhere and Every Way, with 448 pages - this doesn't fit the task requirements.

No need to repost, unless I'm incorrect about this.

There is no Kay Kay on the readerboard. If you have previously used a different readerboard name, please repost with that name.

Task 20.4 is a one book task, just as all the other 20 point tasks. I am going to use your first book, Rot & Ruin, for this task, and you can use the second book elsewhere.
If this isn't how you want it, please repost the task.
Mod
This is a cover task, and you must include the cover in your post.

All posts, including reposts, must include links to the books read. If you simply copy your old posts, the links will not copy.
To include the links in a copied post, you must go to "edit" at the bottom of the post. Once you have that screen up, you can make the changes you need, copy it, then post it into a new message.
