You'll still need to repost - as a rule, mods don't go backwards in the thread as there's simply too many claim posts to search through.
Ahhh, okay. First time having a problem!

I'm sorry for your and your families loss..
Of course we will be perfectly fine for a few days. Please don't feel a hurry.
When you are back and up for it again.. Could you look at my GO score?
I claimed one point in post 710 and it was probably overlooked. Thank you!

Whoops! I didn't even think to look for it. I've posted a request to have it approved as not really for kids here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Thanks!

UGH, my first time back and already messing up.

Mod
Task 5.9 requires you to state whether you live in the northern or southern hemisphere.
Just realised that my point total is adrift. After my last I think I'm on 575. And slightly sad, as I was looking forward to reporting 555 points!

Task 5.1 needs a title without H I T in the title - Rough and Ready contains the letter H in 'rough'.

Sorry, I was in such a hurry get them posted since I have had so little time to do it, I didn't think to check since they are not childrens books but do have children in them who are part of the story. I will repost later, hopefully.
Mod
Have you just not checked some of my posts yet due to posting so many at time even though the readerboard says my posts should be included? Not an urgent matter since it will be a little bit before I have time to figure out more posts, I just feel bad when I mess something up and like to be accurate in my posts.
Mod
Don't worry, your maths is right. I messed something up while compiling the Readerboard. It's fixed now!
Mod

Well, that's weird. I'd missed your second one, but I had the first logged and just hadn't transferred it to the Readerboard thread. Sorry about that, it's fixed now!

It is now on page 11. I wouldnt have thought it would shift that much in a month. Do I need to read another book for this Task?

It has been updated
Mod
You should be fine, but you'll need to repost. With these ones, it's usually a good idea to double-check where it is on the list when you post if you selected the book early on in the season.
Mod
Task 25.4 requires one of your books to be non-fiction. Both Black Sun and Our Wives Under the Sea appear to be fiction.
Mod

Julia103 I'm missing a Big Book ticket - my records say 3 but the readerboard says 2. It looks like you picked up my It's A Fact ticket on post 1007 but not the Big Book ticket for the same book.
(I think we were in sync before that, but in case that one wasn't the issue my other two were on posts 516 and 942)
