Darn! I thought [author:Kim Pittaway|21512746] was a translator or proofreader or something like that, especially since she wasn't mentioned in the book description. Oh well, it was a good read.

Task 30.6 Down by Contact appears to be an ebook without a print edition. You must have it approved for length in Ebook verification in Verification.
Your post must include the line number of the approval in the ebook spreadsheet or a link/post number of the post in which the ebook was approved for length.
I think you missed a BB and a IAF in my post #611-I cannot find any reason in the Q&P thread that they were denied
Mod
The BB was recorded, the IAF has been adjusted

From FAQ
While there are great variations in names, we work with the general rule that the author’s last name is the final word in the name that is preceded by a space. Spaces determine names.
Ursula K. Le Guin is 6 - 4

Thanks!
(I missed post 1061 on my tracking so the next ones were 10 points off. Also I included 1 BB in post 1220 but forgot to change the running total at the bottom of the post.) I'll fix the totals in my next post.
I claimed an It's a Fact Ticket in post 1249 that is not reflected in my total on the Readerboard.
Readerboard Name: ShiralooI claimed an It's a Fact Ticket in post 934 for book 2 that is not reflected in my readerboard totals.
However, it might be my fault because in post 1062, I failed to put the ticket total there. It's now there in 1272.
Can you let me know if I need to redo anything to officially claim it?
Mod
Fixed, it will be reflected in the next update.

Let me know if I need to do anything else to claim.

Arggggh. Sorry, missed that one. Oddly enough, it didn't even occur to me that it could be considered a children's book!
No worries, I've got a great alternative for task 30.4, and I'm sure I will be able to find a task to fit Little Women as well.
