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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ouch!

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!
