EMurphy - post 861All completed tasks posts MUST include a link to the book edition you read.
Kristina Simon wrote: "Andy P - post 808Please check your total. No need to repost."
I think it should be 210. Am I right?

Julia103The readerboard says I have one Golden Oldie ticket. My records say I have two: one in post 388 and another one in post 946. Can you please check? Thanks.

Sorry - I missed that requirement. I'll need to switch things around and repost.

Found and fixed. Your corrected GO tickets will show up in the next update. Thanks for including the post numbers. That makes it very easy to find where I missed something!

Amber - post 1247You read the Kindle version of Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty. There is no mass market paperback. The first paperback (the one with 820 pages is the large print edition and, therefore, should be ignored. That makes the first paperback edition L'imperi del dolor, which has 720 pages.
No need to repost, but you'll need to adjust your BB ticket total (down one).

Ugh! I was so excited that one of the three I found was by an author I already liked that I completely zoned on that. Luckily, one of the libraries near me has one of the other two so I'll go grab that tomorrow and repost once I've read it.
