Just remember when you fill in the title box to leave off the "the", or add it to the end (like: Maze Runner, the), otherwise the program will insist you're using a T title.

Thank you

righttttt I got it and went "well I'm not doing that" hahahahaha

You all must read heavy books, I think everything I read is under 1 lb. Now, over 1 lb, I would have to skip.

A, An, The do not need to be included. The Maze Runner works for title A-M.

If you haven't found it yet, on the group's home page below the introduction it says,"You are a member. Edit Membership | Group info." Click on "Edit Membership." You can leave a group from there.

lol!
Just FYI for anyone who gets this task. If you go to Amazon and scroll down to "Product Information" it lists the item weight. You just need to make sure you have paperback or hardcover selected. I do think under 1 pound would be pretty difficult. I looked at a couple books out of curiosity and both were over 2 pounds.

(additonal problem: I even went on Amazon US and turns out if you're not in the country it apparently changes the weights to grams and kilograms... at least that's what happened to me. and I refuse to find out how much exactly 1lb is)

Read a book that is ranked 101-200 in bestsellers on book depository (http://www.bookdepository.com/bestsel...)
However, as book depository doesn't exist anymore, the link is redirecting me elsewhere... On Amazon. So what should I do?
I could look into Amazon best-sellers, but they don't list beyond number 100.


Can I use a different book that I've read for the direction than the one that fits the task?

The idea is that your book is meant to fit both. The exception is for the Book Depository tasks, which are no longer possible.
If you're struggling with a task, you can read to skip it. (details for that are at the bottom of post 1 of this tread)

Yeah, I thought so, just wanted to check.
