Task 25.8 requires you to specify the lists you used.

Sandy, Can you please check this again?
When reading the requirement for task 10.4 it says genre, stand alone or embedded but does not specify main page genre.
When I look at the genres listed, I see WWI or wwi in at least 4 places with several hundred votes put together.
Thank you!

genres are always required to be on the main page. There's no way that we're going to be able to hunt through multiple pages of genre listings.

You can go to the Anyone with Librarian Status thread to ask to have the page count added."
Nick KY, a page count has been added to your book.
Mod
The Hangman's Daughter is written by Oliver Pötzsch, not Louise Penny. Author initials OP do not fit the task.
Joanne MII posted task 25.1 (post # 1447) which should give me 200 points. I don't see anything here, stating I made an error

Sorry, Joanne. As you can see, I posted your BB ticket for that task, and must have gotten distracted reading about your book and neglected to circle back around. It will show up in the next update.

no worries, thanks for checking!
Mod
You linked to Lirael, which has 527 pages. This still works for 1 BB ticket, but it's not clear why you stated in your post that the book has 720 pages.
Julia103The readerboard shows I have 310 points as of post 1500, but my records show that post 1403 added 30 points that brought my total to 340. Can you please check?

Found and fixed, Julia - all should be well in the new update.

Task 15.9 requires that you include the actual page number of the list on which your book is found.

Oh, I thought I'd linked to Lirael, which is the version that has 720 pages... The danger of identical covers, I guess!
Mod
Task 5.5 requires that you include the country in which the monetary unit is used.
Mod
The description of The Taste of Ginger indicates that it is set partly in India and partly in the US. The book must be set at least 50% in India to work for this task - you'll need to explain how it works.
Mod
Task 25.3 requires that each book take place at least 70% in the designated setting. The description and metadata of Secret Daughter indicates setting in both India and the US. Please explain how 70% of the book is in India.
Mod
Please check your totals. You had 40 after your previous post, and another 15 here gives you 55. No need to repost.

Mod
Task 30.3 states "Both books have to be new to you amd they each have to be at least 300 pages."
Mind Wide Open: Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life has only 274 pages.
Hi! I show my total as 440 as of post 2050, but it is showing as 420 on the readerboard. I checked here and didn't see anything other than a typo in my post for task 20.7 (I accidentally put 30.7), but I did put the correct number of points for that one and it said I didn't need to repost. Thanks for checking!
Mod
Found and fixed, Jessica. Thanks for the heads up!

Tasj 30.4, option 4, requires an author born or currently living in one of the listed southern states, not a setting location.
I looked at the author's GR bio, and she was born in Florida, so the book still works for the task. No need to repost.
Mod
The task requires that you include the page number of the list on which your book was found. While you included this for your second book, you didn't list the page number for your first book.

Thanks Sandy. I completely misread that task - thanks for letting me know that the book still worked. Sorry to create extra work for you.

Sorry Sandy! I corrected it and reposted : ) Post # 2148

Task 25.7, option 5, requires that the author's initials be found in "IPSF", It does not include the full name of the Federation. The task states that, and it was reinforced in the help thread. See post 6 in the Help Thread

Sandy, I assume you meant 575, but the 5475 surely got my attention!
