All posts must include a link to the book(s) claimed."
Sorry, only just spotted this, although I think it was a typo - post 541 in the completed task thread is Jayme's, not mine! At risk of living up to the task name, can I quickly confirm that this hasn't knocked me out of the running for the Moderators' Pet task reward? I don't recall being flagged up for anything else...

no, you're fine if this is the only issue in your postings. I'll note that it's not you.
Mod
You already posted task 25.7, on August 17.
Mod
The task requires that you specify the letter. Also, the title here is orange, not yellow, if that's what you're thinking of.
Mod
Your post needs to include a task number.
Mod
Task 30.6, option 1, requires "State the page on which your choice is found.."
Mod
For your book 1, I'm assuming that "magnificent" is a typo, since the actual word is Magniloquent. Fortunately, your word, Name, is found in both, so you're okay. No need to repost
Mod
Task 30.5 requires a combined total of 600 pages.
For book 1, you posted Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies about Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be, a kindle edition with 240 pages. The top paperback also has 240 pages.
For book 2, you posted Three Bags Full, which has 341 pages.
240+341 = 581 - less than the required 600.

Oops, sorry! I meant the author's name/series, not the title (as it says on the cover in the task information, not in the title). Do I need to repost?
Although now I look at it again the tagline ("She's out for revenge!") is also a slightly different shade of yellow. So I could count that too if the author's name/series title doesn't read as yellow to you.

yes. Your post did not specify the letter at all, and that is required by the task. The tagline looks yellow, not the author's name/series.
Mod
Task 25.8 specifically states that Childrens books cannot be used for the task.
Mod
Task 25.10, option 3 is a cover task, and your post must include the cover.
Sandy wrote: "Florence post 2720Task 20.1 requires a minimum of 200 pages. The Father is only 104 pages."
Darn it, so close to the end of the season without making it on the wall of shame! Missed that detail, apologies. I'll find another task for it.

SO sorry! I can't believe I amde 2 mistakes in the same task. THank you for accepting it.
Mod
You posted The Hitman's Guide to Tying the Knot Without Getting Shot - this is a kindle edition, and the only paper edition has no page numbers. You can post in the Anyone with Librarian Status thread to ask someone to add page numbers.
Mod
Please check your math. 195 after your previous post, plus 10 this post, gives you a total of 205.
No need to repost, just correct your records.

Thank you!

Dang it. Thought I caught all of those. Will repost.
Mod
All posts must include links to the books claimed. You didn't include a link to your Book 2.
Mod
Task 5.7 requires a matching word of 4 or more letters, so SEA won't work.
Thanks Sandy. I thought I did but my old computer probably didn't send it.I will be happy to repost.
Mod
Please see the Rules of the Challenge:
"ebooks without print editions cannot be used for tasks requiring a specific number of pages. ."
Since Task 50.1 has a required page count, Out of the Ashes cannot be used for this task.

Whoops - didn't have the page count requirement noted on my planning spreadsheet like I normally do so missed it in my posting where I would have caught the problem. Reposting with a different book.
Mod
The only paper copy of The Former Assassin's Guide to Snagging a Reluctant Boyfriend has no page numbers. You can request a librarian to add the page numbers in the Anyone with Librarian Status thread.
Mod
Please check your math. 80 after your last post, plus 50, gives you a total of 330. No need to repost.

Shelby, the pages are now on the pb record

Thanks. Could have sworn I had updated them myself earlier. Must not have hit publish or something.
Mod
This post appears to be a duplicate of 3008, but with more points added.
Awwww a math problem, Sandy? OK. 80 +50=130 not 330 But you can give me 330 of you want. Have a good one finishing the Summer Challenge.
Mod

aw yes, my spreadsheet can do math, but it can't prevent typos!

Dammit - This is just not my month. I swear to god my ADHD is out to get me and the lack of focus is killing all the little details I normally catch. That's because 3008 was supposed to be the reposting of my previous error of a 15pt task now that the page count issue has been updated. But somehow it posted my new 25pt task twice instead. Should I just repost the 15pt task for an attempted 3rd time to get everything caught up correctly?

If you want to try for the 15 point tasks, sure, post it again.
Mod
You have posted task 25.10, not 30.1.
Mod
Does It Hurt? is a kindle edition, and neither of the paper editions have page numbers. You can ask for help having the page numbers added in the Anyone with librarian status thread.

I went into the record to check it was there - but it was showing for me before ... - it's fine, I'll remove that book & find a different task to use it for.
