Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks
Mod
You linked to an ebook edition of Surge and the only paper edition lists no page numbers. You will have to get a librarian to add the page numbers to the paper edition, or post in the ebook only thread for length approval..

Page numbers added. Go ahead and repost.
Mod
Task 15.5 requires a book with at least 2 of its page numbers found in 75530. Confessions on the 7:45 has 368 pages, so does not fit the task.
Mod
Please correct your totals. You are still carrying forward the inaccurate total that I pointed out previously in this thread.
Mod
You already posted task 20.2, on April 18.
Mod
I show you with 305.
Mod
Coconut Cream Confession 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.

Thank You
Mod
Task 25.5, option 1, requires that you state the page number of the list on which your book is found. It is quite simple for the mods to reach a particular page, while it is a pain to find a specific listing (and, position number on a list can change.
Mod
Please correct your records if necessary - you've provided the description for 10.2. No need to repost - this fits 10.1 and I've credited that task, just trying to avoid confusion down the road.
Mod
Just FYI, the phrase for option 3 does not include the word MEN. Fortunately, there is an E in lonEly, so this still works. No need to repost.
Hi there - just to let you know I have fixed my BB / GO counts - they now match yours - 9 & 5CYNBAXTER
Hi! I just posted a task, 2693 and forgot to include the author name, so I immediately opened it and edited it to include it...but I see that we are not supposed to edit tasks. Should I repost it?

Oops! Sorry and thanks!
Stephanie wrote: "Hi! I just posted a task, 2693 and forgot to include the author name, so I immediately opened it and edited it to include it...but I see that we are not supposed to edit tasks. Should I repost it?"I have wondered that too. If I immediately see a typo or that I have left something (which sometimes happens a second after I have hit post), and I want to avoid the moderator or task manager having to waste time on it, what is the best way to address that?
Mod
In this case, I had not reached that post yet, so you're good.
Mod
You can't count on the moderator not being right in the process and reviewing your post before you edit it. If it is immediately after, you can post a second time, giving the correct information - if it's right after we may well see it before we have to post here. You can also head up the incorrect post with a message like "Disregard this post" and then just go ahead and post again correctly.
If you correct the post before we get to it, then it wouldn't matter, but you really can't count on this.

I was too excited to post the task I guess, lol, and too excited to fix it...
Mod
Task 25.1 requires that both books be new to you and that you state this in your post.
Mod
Task 25.6, option 1, requires that the first letter of each title word be found in the phrase. There is no Y in GET THE LED OUT.
Mod
Just FYI - we don't use ebook page numbers in the SRC. In this case, it's fine, since the top pb edition has 399 pages - but it could make a difference in other cases, so it's something to keep an eye on. No need to repost - this is just an FYI.
Mod
15.1 requires that the title of your second book begin with the last word in the title of your first book. Your second book must have a title beginning with "Alone."
Sandy wrote: "Andy P post 2728Task 25.6, option 1, requires that the first letter of each title word be found in the phrase. There is no Y in GET THE LED OUT."
Ok, I will repost, I think the same book will work for Option 2
Mod
Task 15.1 requires that each book have a title of 2 or more words. Homicide: The View from Inside the Yellow Tape has a one word title.
Mod
The only listed MMPB for The Demon King is El rey demonio, with 456 pages, so does not qualify for a BB ticket. Points have been logged for the task itself.
Mod
You already posted task 20.3, on March 23.
Mod
Task 20.8 requires that you include in your post the number you generated.
Mod
Task 30.2 requires that you state the page number of the list on which your book is found. It is quite simple for the mods to reach a particular page, while it is a pain to find a specific listing (and, position number on a list can change.

Changes Coming Down appears to only exist as an ebook and with one paperback edition with no page numbers. You will either need to have page number added to the paper edition. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..., or ask for verification as an ebook only. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sandy I'm confused. When I clicked to the paperback edition it shows a page count of 264. Do you need me to repost?

I looked at the change log for the book and the page numbers were added AFTER your post was reviewed and noted here. Yes, you will need to repost.

Cool. Thanks to whoever updated the page count. I'll repost. :)

That was my fault. I verified the page count and added it, intending to note here that it was already done as I usually do, but life interfered and I forgot all about it.

Please check your totals. I show you with 860 points, not 360. No need to repost.
Mod
Please check your total. I show you with 50 after your previous post, plus 15 this post, for a total of 65. No need to repost, just correct your records so you don't continue carrying the mistake forward.
Mod
Task 30.3 2a is a cover task, and the cover must be included in your post.
Mod
There is no participant by this name on the readerboard. Please repost with your readerboard name.
Mod
We never go outside the GR record to find page numbers, so an Amazon link is not going to work for you.
Fortunately, there is a hardback edition list, with page numbers that will work for the task (291 pages).
Mod
Please check your totals. I show you with 765 after your previous post on May 18, plus 50 this post, for a total of 815.
No need to repost, just correct your total in your records.

Found and fixed, Heather. Thanks for the heads up!
Sarah EI think something went wrong with my last two posts, and I don't see any problems posted here.
I posted tasks 25.1 and 25.6 in posts 3115 and 3116, so I think my total should be 485, but the readerboard has 460.
The Golden Oldie in 25.6 was recorded, so I guess that 25.1 was the one that was skipped, but then my total wouldn't agree with your records and would surely have triggered a message here; so it's a puzzle.
Thanks for all you do.

I also posted the wrong version of the book. I read the PB version not the HB. So my BB tickets are out. Sigh! Every time I make such silly mistakes.
