Task 25.1 option 3 - your book link appears to link to the wrong place. I'm getting redirected to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Please double check your link and repost.

Oh yeah! It does. Wonder how that happened. I'll repost. Thanks!

Sorry Nikki, I do have your points recorded, I must have just missed them when I drew up the Readerboard. It'll be fixed in the next update.

Task 15.3 requires matching to a Glastonbury headliner. While Jesus Jones performed in 1990, they were not a headline act.

I posted in the readerboard names thread. Do I need to repost all of my completed books one by one again in the completed tasks thread?

Yes, you'll need to repost. As a general rule, mods don't go back in the completed tasks thread because there's simply too many posts to trawl through.

Mods, you’re doing a great job. I just wanted to point out that in the Reader board totals, you have my points listed as 195. My points should be 295. You have 295 points correctly listed in the alphabetical reader board.

Thanks

Sorry about that, transcription error on my part. It's fixed now.

I reposted at Message 868, but now realizing I didn't post the AR info for the predecessor book. Do you need that too? No time now but I could get to kater.

Erica wrote: "I reposted at Message 868, but now realizing I didn't post the AR info for the predecessor book. Do you need that too? No time now but I could get to kater."

Nope, just the AR Bookfinder info for the one you're claiming should be enough.

[Erica]

Thanks. I think I have that covered. So far my only misstep, so I'm happy enough! The last time I tried this group I was just a mess of errors...

It's easily done, so please don't feel too bad. I've been in and out of the challenge since 2011 and I still make gaffes when posting from time to time!

Task 10.5 explicitly excludes subtitles. I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban only has a three-word title.

[Michelle]

Hello :) according to my records, I should have 100 points but the reader board says 90. I don't see any problems/questions posted here about it.

I was post #871
Michelle in Alaska

Thank you for everything!

Just for future reference, when a task calls for a certain page count, ebook page numbers are not used (see Rules of the Challenge for details on determining ebook page counts).

In this scenario, the top paperback for A Spare Life still meets the task requirements with 490 pages, so I've counted your points and there's no need to repost, just thought I should clarify :)

Task 25.6 requires you to state that both books are new-to-you.

[Jayne, Moderator Emeritus]

Pinar message 916

Task 10.4 requires the word from the title and song to match exactly (e.g. Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fiction and Illusions would match with Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! from the list).

"Teasing" is not a match for any of the given songs, and "sing" is not a complete standalone word in your title.

Shanna Redwind message 919

Riders of the Dawn appears to be an audio/ebook only book with no print edition. If you know of a print edition you can have it added in anyone with librarian status or have the ebook verified for length in the ebook verification thread

Ignore this, I goofed up (see message 132).

I got so focused on alphabetical order that I forgot about consecutive. I'll find another place for it.

There is at least one large print copy in GR, which is a print edition. Riders of the Dawn, FYI

Thanks, Kathy. I clearly needed more coffee when I checked claims earlier!

Apologies, Shanna, I've updated my records and awarded your points accordingly.

[Trish]

Hey there. I think I'm missing an It's a Fact Ticket. I should have two:

One for post #809 - The Isle of Man: Stone Age to Swinging Sixties - which got noted okay. (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)

And one for post #861 - Isle of Man, A Megalithic Journey - which is the missing one. (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)

I'm just not sure if the second one was just missed, or you decided it wasn't an IAF (in which case, just let me know and I'll take it out of my totals). I admit, they're a bit obscure, but both are combined history and travel, so if one counts, the other one should too.

Cheers.

Thanks for the heads up, I'd missed #861 somehow. Fixed my records, correct total should show in the next update.

Task 25.6 option 1 requires you to state the page of the list where you found the book.

Additionally, your link to the MMPB appears to be broken - it's redirecting to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

[Fly]

Hi Jayne :)
there is a discrepancy in our totals - I show 105 on the readerboard, but I think it should be 110? I had 95, and then message 971 adds another 15. Please let me know if my math is off somewhere!

You're absolutely right, I've written something down wrong somewhere. Thanks for the heads up, I'll get that fixed for you.

Task 15.5 requires matching with a 3-letter airport code. CW does not match (I think you might have accidentally used the airline search instead!)

That's exactly what happened, I didn't realise there were two different search functions on that page! Apologies.

Hi Jayne! I claimed 2 BB tickets in post 1079 that are not reflected in the Readerboard. Thanks for checking on that for me!

Task 30.1 - assuming that the vowels are correct but in the wrong place and all the consonants are wrong. You've repeated the G when you needed to drop it.
