I found a different book that fits and will repost.

The posting rules require that you include an up to date total of points in your posts. It appears that you are simply copying the total from the original post when you repost the task - thus here, your totals go 385, 460, 360.
From here on out, when you post (initially or a repost), you need to put an updated total on each post, not simply a copy of what the total would have been had your original post for that task been okay.
No need to go back and try to fix all these, but you should do this in all future postings.

Task 20.5, option 2, states that each number in the target list may only be used once, so a book with 331 pages will not work for this task.
Mod
Your task posting must include the name/number of the task you're claiming.

Sorry about that! I'll figure something else out

Well, crud, that was careless of me, since I cut&paste for those. Must have deleted too much!

Thanks.

Thank you beforehand...

Ok. Just to make sure I understand the task correctly. So, for example, I could read Flow. It's the first book in a new-to-me series but more than one book in the series have been published. Right?
By the way, I used the wrong number. It was supposed to be 15.2

yes

I am assuming that you meant to claim option 3, not option 2, for your second book for 25.5. No need to repost.
Mod
Each post must include an up to date point total - it doesn't work to just copy your point total from the first time you posted the task.
No need to repost this one.
Mod
Task 20.7 requires that your book meet 3 of the criteria specified in the task.
Mod
Task 10.4 requires "a book written by a single author with a 2-part name whose initials both begin with the same letter"

One Will Too Many: A Julia Fairchild Mystery only shows a kindle edition. We work with what shows on GR - if there is a paperback edition, you will need to have it added to the GR record. You can try posting in the Anyone with librarian status thread.

That's weird because I can clearly see a paperback version listed when I select "other editions" - I have asked in the Librarian thread if somebody can wave a magic wand & sort it out ...

Looks like you added the book this morning, with only the kindle edition, and it appears that the book description was updated in the time since I posted this problem. I cannot foresee the future when I check your posts.

You will need to repost - we don't go back to look for revisions to old posts.

Thank you - I'm new so I have been trying very hard not to make mistakes & I double/triple checked that it was all showing correctly before I posted! I'll leave it longer next time between checking & posting :)

Task 15.2 specifically requires that a series have at least 2 published books to be used for the task.
Mod
ALL posts must include a link to the book(s) you read, including reposts. If you just copy your old post, the formatting will not be included when you paste.
To copy and paste, you need to click on the "edit" button under your old post, and copy it from the edit screen. Then post that into a new post, and make whatever changes you need. That will preserve the formatting.
No need to repost this one.
Mod
Task 5.6 requires that you include the page on which your book is found.

Please correct your records - looks like a typo in your total points - should be 235, not 135. No need to repost, just wanting us to keep our totals synched!
