Task 15.3, option 2 requires a book that has a MPG Magic AND that was first published in the 1990s (1990-1999, inclusive). Magic's Pawn was published in 1989 (in the 80s).

Dammit. When I put it in my spreadsheet I was planning the second book in the series, but put down the first and never double checked the reasoning.

Task 30.4 requires that one of the books be nonfiction.

From the Rules of the Challenge: "5. Books whose main page lists any of these genres: Sequential Art, Comics, Comic Book, or Manga may only be used for 5, 10, and 15 point tasks unless specifically allowed in the task description for a higher point task." Books with these MPG cannot be used for the 50-point task.

The Great Wall had these MPGs at review:

Kristina you're amazing, and I'm sorry I was such a hassle there at the end. Though who the hell lists The Great Wall as a manga? It's not. It's a novel. I didn't even think to look since it's not written as a manga at all.

Yeah, people shelve things all kinds of wrong sometimes. If it hadn't been the last day of the challenge, you could have had the genre overridden in the "Not Really a Comic Book/Graphic Novel" thread.

For task 30.2, book 2, you linked to a large print book. Please see the Rules of the Challenge:

"When determining page count, you should go by the copy you read- EXCEPT as noted below for ebooks, audiobooks, and large print books."

The regular hardcover for this book, Going There, has 528 pages, as does the top paperback, Going There. 528 contains both a 2 and a 5, so does not fit the task.
