5.9 Disability Visibility
15.9..."
Sorry, Tracey, found and fixed. Will show up in the next update.
Mod
You may want to correct your records. Task 20.3 is Kathy KS's task. Since you included the task #, I was able to assign your points to the correct task, so no need to repost.
Mod
You claimed What Passes as Love for task 25.2, in your previous post. A book can only be claimed once per season.
Mod
Please see the FAQs
"The general default rule is that books by a single author must be used.."
Since this task does not specifically allow the use of multiple authors, a single author must be used.
Mod
Please check your totals - looks like you forgot to add the points for this task. No need to repost.
Mod
Task 30.5, book 2, requires that one of the author's name parts must be found in the chosen book.
Mod
Your book 1 choice, Wicked, is a kindle edition, and the only paperback listed has no page numbers. You can ask in the Anyone with librarian status thread to have someone add the pages for you.

Thank you Kim. Much appreciated.
Hello! I see I was given 100 points on the readerboard with my newest task submission, but, by my count, I should only have 90 (20 + 20 + 50). Thanks :)
Mod
Thanks for the heads up, Michelle! Maybe I just like round numbers???? Found and fixed.
Mod
Please explain how there is a flag or bunting on the cover of this book. I see a stylized sun, but not a flag or bunting.
Mod
You already claimed task 5.9.
Mod
Summer and July includes both Middle Grade and Childrens as main page genres.
Please review the Rules of the Challenge regarding the use of childrens books in the SRC.

great, thanks!
Mod
Everything on the Line appears to be an ebook and audiobook only. You will need to have it approved for SRC use in the ebook verification thread.
Mod
All books to be used in the SRC must have at least 100 pages, with the exception of one 5 point task. Kindle pages are not used. See the Rules of the Challenge:
"If you read an ebook, or audiobook use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition."
The paper editions of House Built on Fog & Sand: A Collection of Poems and Artwork have page counts ranging from 74 to 98, so this book cannot be used.
Mod
Task 5.6 states "REQUIRED: If the country is not specified in the GR description or metadata, provide a reference to establish location."
Please provide a reference, since the country of setting is not specified.
Mod
Shaun Usher doesn't work for an author task - the GR description shows that he is not the author of Letters of Note: Dogs, but rather a "compiler" of other people's letters - more of an editor than an author.

Also, there seems to be an error with my score on the readerboard. Subtracting all the above points from my previous total, there should still be 235 points and 4 Golden Oldies.
Mod
Sandy wrote: "the above points don't cover everything. See post 179 above"As of Message 3533 yesterday, my spreadsheet calculates a total of 345 points. 345 - (50 + 30 + 15 + 10) = 240. There is a 25 point difference, not including Message 2564, 2565 and Dracula.
Aside from Dracula, I have 4 Golden Oldies:
The Secret Garden - Message 2531
The Great Gatsby - Message 2522
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman - Message 2520
Frankenstein - Message 2517
Also, do you need me to make a separate post for Dracula with the location explanation added in?

Yes, there's too much going on in your posts to make sure we get the right totals. Once I get your corrections posts dealt with, we'll see if our numbers agree.

Apologies for the chaos. I hadn't been able to sit down and organize everything before, so I ended up posting everything over the evening here yesterday.
Mod
Please check your totals - 570 after your last post, plus 25 this post, gives you 595. No need to repost.
Mod
Books with the genre tag Graphic Novels cannot be used for 20, 25, and 30 point tasks unless specifically allowed in the task description.
Lost Cat: A True Story of Love, Desperation, and GPS Technology includes Graphic Novels as the 7th listed genre tag, so cannot be used for this task.

Oops, I see what I did there. Thanks for the heads up!
