Sorry - reposted now (diagnosed with COVID yesterday & I think its affecting my concentration - maybe I'll stick to just reading for the next few days rather than posting!)

Hope you feel better soon. And I have been told that it can throw off your concentration and attention to details.

Oops! Thanks for catching that.

I asked a question in the Help thread for task 30.4. Nobody has responded yet. Could you have a look at it?

First of all, task creators are asked to answer questions within 5 days. That time is not passed. Second, you can see the answer yourself - the task does not include a page minimum, so there is not a page minimum beyond the regular SRC minimum.

Task 20.8 has a 275 page minimum. None of the listed editions for The Joy and Light Bus Company meet this requirement.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Please check your totals. I show you with 295, not 195, after this post. No need to re-post, just trying to keep our records synched.

Task 25.3 requires that both books be new to you and that you state this in your post.

Thanks for pointing that out. Typo.

I figured that, but sometimes the typo just keeps perpetuating!

Insiya post 1822

You have linked to a paperback edition of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, then provided the MMPB edition for page purposes. If you read a paperback edition, then that's the edition you use for page purposes. If you actually read an ebook edition, then you should link to that one, not to a random paperback edition.

In this case, the paperback edition is 291 pages, so your combo with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (220 pages) still gets you to a total of 511, which works for this task.

Since your posting works with the paperback edition, no need to repost, but please keep this in mind - it could matter in future tasks.

For a cover task, you need to post the cover of the book you actually read. Did you read a hardcover ARC?

Sandy wrote: "Balletbookworm post 1840

It's the digital galley, which has the same cover art as the finished hardcover. Should I link the ebook/cover instead?

You need to post the cover of the actual edition you read.

You are right, correct total is 480, thanks.

The only paper edition of Devil Days in Deadwood has no page numbers listed. You cannot substitute the number of pages in the kindle edition. I suggest you ask in the Anyone with Librarian Status thread to see if someone can help with this problem.

Ooops! I left out a line in my post 1939 that claims Golden Oldies points. This line:

** Cousin Henry is a Golden Oldie, published in 1879**

Should I do a post in the Completed Tasks thread, or would this be sufficient?
Thanks

You need to repost the entire post, including links. Please indicate at the top of the post that this is a repost to claim a GO ticket, so that I don't have to start from scratch with this.

All author sourced tasks must be written by a single author, unless the task specifically allows multiple authors. Gwendy's Button Box lists two authors, so does not work for this task.

The target word must stand alone in the title, with no variations other than plural/possessive. "13-Minute" does not work for this.

I have never complained about being posted in this section in the more than 10 years I've been doing the SRC, but this time I'm complaining. I noted that Noah is the 5th author listed and linked to the page of minority authors, the first page. I can't imagine any scenario in which being 5th on the list (on a page with 50 authors listed) would not mean that it's on the first page.
