We do not use ebook pages in the SRC. There is no MMPB of All The Lonely People - the top paperback had All The Lonely People has 368 pages, so does not fit the task.

Task 20.2, option 2, states "REQUIRED: In your post state what other three books you have previously read by this author".

Totally understand! I reposted with the updated page number and hope it doesn't move again!

Please check your totals - I show you with 265 - 255 after your previous post, +10 this time. No need to repost - this is just to keep our records synched.

Please see the Rules of the Challenge:

"Collections of syndicated, periodical or internet comic strips, single or short-format panels, or cartoons must be at least 200 pages to be used for SRC tasks."

Strange Planet is a 144 page collection of web cartoons, so does not work for the SRC.

Task 15.5 requires that the book be set in the state where you were born, which is not necessarily the state in which you currently live.

It looks like you didn't add the points for message 2889 - not sure if that was an oversight or if there's something I need to fix.

We do not use ebook/kindle pages in the SRC. There is no MMPB with page numbers of Firekeeper's Daughter- the top paperback of Firekeeper's Daughter has 494 pages, so does not fit the task.

message 265: by Amber (new)

Amber (ambrosian) | 344 comments Sandy, it looks like I got too many points in the last update. I have 540 recorded, but it says 555 on the readerboard. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something.


message 266: by Fly (new)

Fly (fly-me-to-the-moo) | 889 comments Sandy, I think Amber got my 15 points!
hers was post #2947, and it looks like you missed my 2nd post yesterday (I'm message #2946 and #2948) - that's what I get for posting twice in the same day :D

thank you both - y'all made it simple for me to straighten out!


message 268: by Maria Jo (new)

Maria Jo | 234 comments Hi Sandy, I think you missed my post 2969 for task 20.6 or post 2998 for task 20.8. My records show I have 320 points, but the Readerboard only shows 300 after the last update. Thanks for checking!

Found and fixed! Thanks for the quick heads up!

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments I know I haven't posted through most of the challenge ... real life got in my way this winter.

I saw your notice that you'd only process a couple of posts per person per day. I'm fine with that. You have much to do to manage the group.

My only question is whether I should repost some of those that were skipped in the page ending with post 3000, so they can get counted tomorrow. Or whether they are simply lost to history.

Thanks.

please read the announcement again - I will continue to process 2 of your posts each day - none are lost. Those that exceed 2/day will be processed on March 1. Reposting will create a mess - that's why I laid out the whole process.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Thank you, Sandy. I clearly missed that part.

Task 20.5, option 2 states that " Each number can only be used once, and no other numbers can be used." The Hating Game has 363 pages , using 3 twice, so will not work for this task.


message 275: by Lorna (new)

Lorna | 526 comments The Golden Oldie Ticket I claimed in post #3024 doesn't show on the readerboard. Will you double check this? Thanks!

Please check your totals - I show you with 370, not 360. Looks like you subtracted 5 from your previous total of 365.

no need to repost, this is just to make sure our records are synched.

All tasks that pertain to authors must use books with a single author, unless the task specifically allows multiple authors. Task 20.1 does not specifically allow multiple authors, and Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty has 2 authors.
