Cait S | 738 comments Colette, none of these will count towards your points as you are putting them in the wrong thread like Elizabeth said. You need to put them in the Completed Tasks thread.

For task 25.1, the 2015 version does appear to be different and will work for the task. However, you still need to include a link to the first book in the task.

Please do not repost the other tasks in your post - those points have been recorded.

Colette G post 3388

the book you posted appears to exist only in ebook form. If it only exists in ebook form you must have it approved in the ebook verification thread. If it has already been approved, you must include the post number or googledoc line number in your post.

All posts must include links to the books posted. You'll need to repost, with a link to the book you used for book 3.

Task 15.1 requires that you link to the review showing 1 or 2 stars for book 2. You link merely goes to the person's private profile, The help thread has directions for linking to the review, so that it can be seen by someone who is not a friend of the reviewer.

Please do not repost the other tasks in your post - those points have been recorded.

the readerboard shows you with 100 points. That is clearly more than one task - and the readerboard does not list # of tasks, only # of points. If you look at your last post, you'll see that 100 is the total you provided. Please read the headings on the top of each post in the readerboard thread - you seem to be confusing your total points with the number of big book tickets.

Also, please note for future reference that if you have a problem with your totals, you need to address this before the end of the challenge.
