Apologies - will correct this in my next update!

[Joanne]

Thank you

I believe I've made a clerical error when creating post 832. I think I somehow added an extra 15 points to my count. I've edited in the corrected numbers below the original post.

I think you have misunderstood the task - you need ALL of the letters of PINK & BLUE in your book title/subtitle/series name/author name
I do not find the letter B in your book

The task requires a book first published in September, October, or November 2022
Your book was published September 2020

The Tuesday Night Club doesn't seem t have a page count listed for the paperback - if you read a paperback version please ask for this to be added in the Librarian thread, or get the ebook approved for length in the appropriate thread.

(Unfortunately if you just read the single short story, I don't think it will be long enough - the publishers website suggests only 40 pages: https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/...)

Yes, if a book is clearly non-fiction, but has too few reviews for it to show as an MPG, you can claim an IAF ticket.

thank you :)

Hi! I think I'm missing a Big Book ticket. The points I claimed in post 994 have shown up on the Readerboard, but my BB tally is still at 1. When you get a chance, could you look into this for me? Thanks!

Morning.

Just a quick one. I claimed my first It's a Fact ticket for this challenge in post #1090 (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...), but it doesn't seem to be showing up in the list yet.

Thanks.

As per the Posting Requirements 2023 only one task can be claimed per post.

I think I am missing a credit for my post # 1064. It was a 15 point task 15.4 The book I read was The Sweet Gum Tree and it qualifies because I used the one book option with the word Sweet in the title and page # is 304 .
Thanks,
Andy

I'm a little confused - I believe post #1064 brought your total to 335 which is the total showing for you in the current readerboard?

Mary PDX - post 1153
You receive one BB point for books over 500 pages, and 2 for books over 750 pages
You linked to the hardcopy version of the book Fire & Blood which has 706 pages so one BB ticket has been applied.
If you read a different version with more than 750 pages, please repost, noting that it is a correction to previous post (remember that you should always link to the version you read)

You are right. I got mixed up with tasks I posted after 1100. Sorry for your inconvenience. When I subtracted those posted after 1100 you I agree.

Sorry, thought it was 700 pg not 750 no biggie, I'll adjust my totals

I think you have misunderstood the task - option 3 requires a book with a two word title, where the first letters of both words can be found in either TBIRDS or PINKLADIES
Lola in the Mirror is not a 2 word title with initial letters in these words.

Task 30.5
Options 2 & 3 both require that you State what page of the list your book is found on

Please repost with this information

Hi! I think my post 1206 (task 50.1) wasn't added to my total. I didn't see a problem post here so I think my total should be 920.

The readerboard shows me with 310 points, but my spreadsheet has 260.

Please check your totals, you only claimed 5 pts for a 20pt task!

Sorry, I see now there was a typo on my part, post 974 was 15.7 Pink & Blue but I apparently typed 15.1 by mistake. I guess nobody caught it at the time because I got credit for 15.1. Do you want to reject post 974 and have me reenter it correctly? Post 1295 is for 15.1, which is correct.

Lucy-Bookworm wrote: "Amy FL Post 1287

Sorry...you are correct! I have additional posts so my totals will be wrong going forward. Do I need to repost all of them or just adjust my spreadsheet?

My last post was 1341 and my total should be 400.

[Amy]

Just checked the readerboard and saw that you have my total correct. Sorry for my error.

Great, it was my error to start with, and I appreciate your help. I can't imagine the time it must take to track everything for so many tasks and participants.

RACHEL CA post 1560
You only need to do one of the options for 20.1
I have noted the first book (Children of Ash and Elm) with the BB & IAF tickets. If you wish to use the second book for a different task, go ahead!

I think you have misunderstood option 1:
The book must have at least two words of four or more letters but ALLof the 4+ letter words must begin with the same first letter. Your book The Penguin Pool Murder does not meet the requirements at the word Murder has more than 4 letters but doesn't begin with P

Doh, how did I miss that?!! That's a crazy brain blip. Can I just leave it for now, whilst i find another book with correct author initials, then repost? And can I post some correctly finished tasks in the meantime?

Yes, when you find a book to replace it, or if you want to use the books for other tasks just do that in a new post (please don't go back & edit, the mods don't have time to trawl 2000+ entries for amendments!)
You can post other tasks in the meantime - essentially the post with the error is ignored & we carry on picking up all others up
