Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks

[Robin P]

I show that post 2294 brought me to 690. Readerboard shows 680 through post 2300. Maybe that post was missed since I also show 7 GO and Readerboard shows 6.

I have 5x2, 10x6, 15x9, 20x10, 25x7, 30x2, 50x1. Let me know if I'm off somewhere, thanks!

OK, been through all your posts. Your points and GO are fixed. Your BB ticket total appears inaccurate - you'ree claiming 3. However, your bottom of the page total jumps from 1 to 2 in post 1678, without any books in the post that are 500+ pages.

[Robin P]

Thanks so much. I will check on the BB's, I probably forgot to claim one.

[Robin P]

I just reviewed and I do have 3 BB books claimed - Post 250, 1510 and 2294. Post 1510 shows the correct total at that time of 2. The number 2 continues correctly in Post 1587, but in 1646 I either forgot or just mistyped and only put 1 BB. In 1678, I was back to the correct total of 2, which stayed the same till 2294. Sorry for this causing confusion!

Please check your totals. You had 210 after your previous posting, plus 15 this time, gives you 225. No need to repost.

The task requires that the book be set in a prison, not in a concentration or internment camp.

It is set in a prison, a prisoner of War prison, is not neither a concentration camp or an internment camp--the word "prison is clearly in the subtitle, so I disagree vehemently if you disallow this

I suggest you ask about it in the help thread.

The instructions for task 15.4 specifically state "In each case, a series must have at least 3 published whole numbered books."

Front Page Murder only has 2 books in the series.

Marie-Anne post 2496

he book you linked to, Murder at Farrington Hall, has only an ebook edition and a paper edition with no page numbers. You can ask for the record to be corrected in the Anyone with Librarian Status thread.

Thank you,

Thank you so much. My apologies, I find the new page GR page rather confusing, am not used to it yet.

Daire post 2556

The specific characteristics of the chosen animals must be listed in the character description. None of the words describing the ox are found up in the description of the main character. The help thread makes it clear that a synonym would not work, even if you consideer these words synonyms.

The book you posted for option 1, Collateral , has only 496 pages, so doesn't qualify for a BB ticket.

Please see the Rules of the Challenge:

"ebooks without print editions cannot be used for tasks requiring a specific number of pages."

Rebecca NJ post 2660

You already posted 10.8 - since you refer to romance as a MPG, I assume this is meant to be for 10.10, and that's how I have credited this one. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

Sandy - you were correct. My apologies for missing that when I was posting.

Only one task may be included in a post.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Kaylee post 2772

FYI, this task requires that the book be the winner of an award, not just a nominee. Fortunately, there's another award listed, so you'll still get credit for the task.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Jen K post 2773

Task 25.3 requires that the books be new to you and that you state that in your post.

There does not appear to be anything in the GR record that establishes S.T. Abby as a female writer. Please provide some sort of verification of gender.

It doesn't appear that my task points (20) were posted (message 2824). I have my total at 340 as of then.

My extra tickets for that post DO seem to be correct.

Thanks for checking.

If you read a paper edition, that's the one you use for page count. You only switch to the page count of the MMPB if you read an ebook/audiobook.

All posts must include a link to the book claimed.

You don't need to take out any extra lines - I won't be looking at your post again. This is just for your information, so you'll know how to do this.

Please repost with your readerboard name. There is more than one Kathy in the challenge.

Oops! Thanks for that. Means I'll have a very satisfying round number for my winter challenge total.

OK THanks. I have a replacement. I will post a new message,

Good luck with your surgery today!

Thanks. Fortunately, it's not exactly surgery, since there's no surgical correction for this, but to me, having a great big needle stuck in my eye every month is in some ways worse, LOL!

I forgot to Claim a Golden Oldies Ticket in post 2865, for
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, published in 1843. (1) Hound of the Baskervilles, 2) Christmas Carol, 3) Anne of Green Gables, 4) Adam Bede.)

I think I'm just about done. I joined very late with no preplanning, and it was overwhelming at first. I almost gave up, but once I got a little clarity it was fun. I did better than I expected. Thanks for all your help!
