OOPS Sorry...I reposted with a link to the correct edition I read.
I will be back and fix Post 2817 in just a few mins.

You need to do a new post in the completed task thread, and not just fix a previous post.

LOL I knew that and thought the completed task thread (page)had already loaded and then realized it hadn't. Slow internet is just awesome :( I think I have it all together now for problem posts 2817 and 2820.

Oops, sorry.
Mod
Task 50.1, book 2 - Something Wicked This Way Comes & A Sound of Thunder is only listed in audiobook form and is not marked as part of a series. If there is another GR reference to this particular combination in paper form and marked as part of a series, please repost with a link to that.
Mod
Task 25.3, book 2, requires that the letters of the god's name be found in the book title in order. Cemetery Dance doesn't work for TYR, because the r comes before the y in cemetery.
Mod
Just FYI, thriller is not currently listed as a genre for UnWholly. Fortunately, I checked genres when you posted it the first time, and it was okay then, so I'm going to take that as a "lock in" for the genre.
Sorry - I linked to the wrong book version. Ill repost
Mod
Task 5.2 requires that you specify the 9 letter word in your post.
Please do not repost the other tasks in the post - these points have been recorded.
Mod
Task 25.2 requires that both books be new to you and that you state this in your post.
Please do not repost the other tasks in this post - those points have been recorded.
Mod
Task 25.6, option 2, requires that you specify the book's position on the list and the page on which it is found.

Sorry. I was thinking about that this morning and was hoping I hadn't been so stupid as to forget my user name and used a children's book with out checking it out.
Thank you for your hard work. Sorry for my forgetfulness.
Mod
Please check your totals. Before this post, you had 270, not 285, because the 285 you totaled included your second time posting 15.7. When you substituted a book for 15.7, that didn't result in any new points for 15.7, so your total was still 270.
No need to repost for this, just correct your totals going forward.
Mod
You're going to have to include some information to identify the task you're posting for.
Mod
I'm assuming that you mean to post for 5.7, not 5.8, although you don't include a description of the task, since you do specify the number of pages (and since you've already posted 5.8). If this is correct, no need to repost - otherwise, please repost.
Mod
Task 25.2 requires that both books be new to you and that you state this in your post.
Please do not repost the other tasks in your post - those points have been recorded.
Mod
Medium Dead: An Alexandra Gladstone Mysteryonly appears to exist in ebook form. If you have had it approved for length, please repost with the googledoc line or approval post #. If not, you'll need to get approval for length in the ebook verification thread
Please do not repost 5.10.

Thank you. :o)
BlueberryI should have 3 BB's but only 2 are showing. It might be because I had messed up my counting and forgot about the first one. They were originally posts # 1956, 2896, and 2897.
Thanks.
Mod
Please check your totals - looks like you didn't add the 10 points from this post to your previous total.
No need to repost - this is just an FYI to keep our totals synched.

Task 15.1 requires that you include a link to the reviews in your post, not just to the books.

Mod
Both Inkdeath and Inkspell includes "childrens" as a main page genre. Please see the Rules of the Challenge for the use of childrens books.
Please do not repost 20.7 - those points have been recorded.
Mod
While it is fine to include more than one task in a post, the tasks must be listed in numerical order, lowest to highest. See the Posting Requirements and post #1 in the Completed Task Thread.
Mod
Task 50.1 requires that each book have at least 250 pages.The Year of Pleasures has only 206 pages, so will not work for the task.
Mod
Books are normally shelved by author's last name, not first name (and the task itself specifically references the author's last name), so Karl Schroeder will not work for the JHA-KAR shelf.
Mod
Task 15.2, book 1, must have all the letters of AESIR in its title. As far as I can tell, there is no "A" in The Tropic of Serpents.
Mod
Actually, both Rosalind James and Joshilyn Jackson would be found on the IAG-JGZ shelf, not the GRE-IAF shelf. However, since they are both found on the same shelf, the combination works.
Just an FYI, no need to repost.
Sandy wrote: "Elspeth post 2962Task 15.2, book 1, must have all the letters of AESIR in its title. As far as I can tell, there is no "A" in The Tropic of Serpents."
The subtitle is "Memoir of Lady Trent" which has an a.

*over-dramatic Nooooooooooooooo* thanks, Sandy!

Sorry, that is a series title, not a subtitle. The subtitle follows the main title, after a colon. The title in parentheses is a series title.
Hi Sandy,Could you check my point total? The Readerboard currently says 765. I think we were squared up at Post 2874 with 695 points. Then I posted 2907 task 50.1, then 2935 task 25.6, which should be 770, unless I have made a mistake somewhere else.
If you find a discrepancy, could you let me know and I will make the correction in my total.
Thanks!

Have you dealt with post 466 in this thread?

OK, that explains the discrepancy. Thanks. I will repost it.

Sandy- can I repost when the book has been verified? The AR Bookfinder website is not currently working.

You can repost any time until the end of the day on the 31st.
Mod
The book you actually read must have a title that matches the movie title. In this case, it appears that what you read was Club Dead, so one of those words must match a word from the movie title.
Mod
Task 20.3, option 4, specifically requires that the "brother" aspect be evident in the GR descriptions. While Ron is mentioned as a friend of Harry's, there are no mentions of brothers in the GR description.
See post 37 in the help thread.

OK, I moved the book to a different task

Fixed. The corrected total will show up after the next update.

OK, I've misunderstood the rules. I thought the "book actually read" meant the actual physical book I've held in my hands. :)

Well, that would be true for a single book and it would be okay here if you read the entire book and posted it for the task. Here, you only read a piece of the book - which is okay since it's a compilation of separately published books - but since you only actually read one book, you have to match that book for titles.
Midu - post 2969Karl Schroeder is not a Goodreads Author. No need to repost. Just an FYI so you can adjust your totals.
Mod
Unless I have somehow missed it, you have not yet addressed post 444 in this thread, so your total is only 1020.
Mod
Task 15.5 requires that you specify the list on which you found the book.
Mod
Task 25.2 requires that neither book be a re-read and that you state this in your post. Please repost with the missing information.

What is wrong with me? Sorry, Sandy :-(
