Thanks, I only took credit for 25 points for a 30 point task.

Task 25.2 requires that both books be new to you and that you state this in your post.
Mod
Please check your totals - I have you with 460 - 415 after your previous post, plus 45 in this post. No need to repost, just want to keep our totals synched.
Mod
While it is fine to include more than one task in a post, they must be posted in numerical order, lowest to highest. Please see #12 in the Posting Requirements and the first post in this thread.

Sorry, I just discovered where I made my mistake and knew you'd catch me up on it.
Jeani - post 1344Task 20.3 - You have linked to an ebook edition of The King. As stated in the Goodreads Author and Big Book Tickets FAQ:
** If you used an ebook or an audiobook be sure that the link you provide goes to the edition you actually read. You must also include a link to the paper edition used to establish length. See the current challenge rules for the method to determine page numbers.
If you wish to claim BB tickets for The King, please repost following the directions under Sample Repost in the Goodreads Author and Big Book Tickets FAQ thread.
Task 20.4 - The edition of Lover Unleashed you've linked to has only 489 pages and is, therefore, not eligible for BB tickets.
Mod
Task 20.5, option 1, requires that the author be new to you and that you state this in your post.
Mod
Please check your totals - I show you with 85 (40+45). No need to repost, this is just to keep totals synched.
Mod
Task 25.5 requires that the item(s) to be pillaged be in the title/subtitle, not on the covers of the books.

Sorry, apparently I have bad mathematical skills and shouldn't post after I get home from work and in the wee morning hours. Thanks!!

LOL - I don't even attempt math - I rely on my spreadsheet!

For task 25.3, book 1, you posted Pieces of Me, which only lists an ebook version. If you have had this approved for length, please repost, indicating the googledoc line or post # of the approval.

Mod

Mod
Task 25.1 requires that your post include a statement that the books are new to you, the years the books were first published, and the number of pages in the books.
Also, the total pages must add up to at least 500 pages. The two books you posted are 108 pages and 368 pages, for a total of 476 pages.
Mod
For task 25.7, option 1, the task requires that you state the book's number on the list.
Mod
Task 20.5 requires tht the author be new to you and that you state this in your post.
Mod
There is more than one Sandy participating in the SRC. Please repost with your readerboard name.
Mod
Task 30.5 requires that each of your books have a minimum of 250 pages. You posted The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, with 240 pages.
Mod
Please check your totals - I show you with 80 points, 60 after your previous post, plus 20 this post.
No need to repost - this is just to keep the totals synched.
Mod
The Posting Requirements specifically require you to put your readerboard name at the TOP of your post.
Also see message 133 in this thread.
Mod
Task 20.8, option 1, requires that you state where you live.
Sandy wrote: "Donna Jo post 1468Task 20.8, option 1, requires that you state where you live."
Sorry, I thought since I had included KS in the top line that explained it. I'll repost.
Sandy wrote: "Dakimel post 1406For task 25.7, option 1, the task requires that you state the book's number on the list."
Of all the tasks for me to mess up posting on, I have to do it on my own? Hubris!!
Mod
Please check the links in your post. None of the links in this post work. I looked up your books separately, in case this is some sort of GR problem, but everyone else's links are working fine, so please make sure that you are adding links properly.
Erin ATX - post 1487John Locke is not a Goodreads Author. No need to repost, this is just an FYI so you can adjust your totals.

Whoops. Missed that. I will have to pick another book then and re-do that task.
Thanks.
That's so weird! I just checked and the HTML code is the same as all the other posts I've done. But you are right, they don't work. Maybe it's because this is the first post I did in an external editor then cut and paste into Goodreads. Do you need me to repost?
Mod
No, I checked them separately, because I thought it might be a GR problem. But please check your links in the future to make sure they're actually working.
Mod
There are a number of Christines participating in the SRC. Please repost with your readerboard name.

Task 25.8 - City of Savages does not have war listed as a main page genre:
Young Adult 93 users
Science Fiction > Dystopia 64 users
Science Fiction 34 users
Fiction 16 users
Thriller 15 users
Apocalyptic > Post Apocalyptic 12 users
If you had the genre locked in at some point, please repost with the thread/post # information.
Mod
Please include the task number/name in your posts. No need to repost this one - I knew which one it was - but you need to include this information in future posts.
I knew I had messed up that post...That's what happens when you're supposed to be working, not updating points in the SRC.
I wrote everything down on a note and then copied just one part.
Mod
Task 25.5 does not involve the plot of the book - the item for pillaging must be in the title of the book.
Since pretzels and butter and watermelon are all okay, I think more fruit would add to the diet, so I'll take "plum" as the item.
Mod
I assume that you actually meant option 4 for your second book, since it doesn't fit option 3? If I'm correct, no need to repost.
amandab1975 - post 1575As stated in the Goodreads Author and Big Book Tickets FAQ:
** If more than one Goodreads Author appears, as a co-author, in an anthology, or in a collection of short stories, for example, only one ticket will be awarded (one ticket per book).
So, you will receive only one ticket for Will Grayson, Will Grayson. No need to repost, this is just an FYI so you can adjust your totals.

Oh Sandy - they stole the "Plum" - I didn't want to say what the "plum" meant to spoil it for other readers.
Mod
All tasks posted must include links to the books. Please repost task 20.4.
Mod
Just an FYI - Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances works for the 1 book option for this task. While you're certainly welcome to use both books for the task, you could also use your other book for a different task if you choose.
If you want to do this, please repost, indicating that you're reposting 15.4 to use one book instead of two.
Mod
The authors from the winter challenge that inspired your choices must also have been new to you, and you must state this in your post.

Thanks, I knew that but since I had already read the other and didn't easily see anywhere else it fit, and already had other(s) for the "your choice" task or tasks, it's fine as is.
