I used to be really good at mental arithmetic. Now I can't do 435 + 30. Sigh.
Here's what happened re: my GO total. I was about to claim task 30.3 but in proofreading, I realized that for book 2, I used an A from the author's 1st name and E N from the last name. I hadn't posted yet, so I erased everything and found an author whose name fit, posting the task after I finished reading the replacement book. What I forgot is that author 1 would have qualified for a GO ticket, but author 2 did not, so I should have 3 GO tickets, not 4.
