Hi, could a moderator help me out? I accidentally used a book for two different prompts. Can my Post #1618 be removed/not counted? I'm sorry!
Emurphy wrote: "Hi, could a moderator help me out? I accidentally used a book for two different prompts. Can my Post #1618 be removed/not counted? I'm sorry!"Here’s how to do it from the posting rules:
“ 13. While it is OK to shift books between tasks during a challenge, this is the procedure required:
First, identify and "unclaim" any tasks involved in your book changes with a separate post for each task involved. Include the task number, the options used, and a link to each book originally claimed.
(Remember to copy a post, click "edit" at the bottom of the post, and copy from that screen to copy the html)
Next, do a new post, claiming any task involved in the changes. This must be a complete task posting, with all information required by the task, the options chosen, and the books claimed. No different from an original post.”

I know this is a massive challenge and appreciate all the work you do but we ar epast the 30 point challenge deadline and the readerboard has not been updated for almost a week. If any posts are incorrect members have had no chance to correct problems. Is an update coming soon

JenJ IAJust checking my totals and noticed that one of my Big Book tickets is missing. I claimed one in post 936 for Fourth Wing and 1 in post 1650 for Iron Flame. Thanks for checking on this.
Mod
I don't know if you need/want to know this now, but I don't have my last book/task finished by the 30 pt task deadline and you put my name above the readerboard line. It is taking me awhile to get through my last book because it is not my preferred genre but one I thought I should read. I may switch it up if I find another white cover I can read quicker.

Mod
task 15.3 is a 2 book task, only one book was lined/posted.
Mod
The book Book of Colours was previously claimed on message 662 for task 10.7.
please unclaim the book for this task if you would like to use it for task 50.1
Mod
The paperback edition for Sherlock Holmes & the Singular Affair has 200 pages. The task requires a book less than 200 pages.
when using a ebook edition for a task that has a page requirement the massmarket then paperback then hardcover is used. Since there is no MMPB, we would us the paperback page count for this book.

I'm confused on this one. I had made a mistake on this post, https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..., and I had to repost the task. It was reposted and that book was accepted. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/.... I thought when a task was rejected it was "like it was never there;)" and that made Book of Colours available for the 50 point task. Please let me know how to remedy this.
