Agh, sorry. That was a copy/paste error - it's correct on the Alpha Readerboard. I'll get that fixed for you now.
Mod
Task 30.9 requires you to specify your options. You have only specified one, so I can't determine what criteria your second book is meant to match.
Mod
Task 10.2 requires a reference if the locations are not obvious from the GR book description or metadata. I can't determine a location setting for Cross the Line other than Monaco from the available information.
Mod
Task 10.9 requires you to state the word from the title and the National Scenic Area it matches.

ooo boogers. I forgot to even check that
Mod
From the default rules:
...a "word" in a title is a string of letters/symbols/punctuation marks with no spaces. So, a contraction is one word, as is a hyphenated word.
Books in languages other than English may be used, but please provide information on the book and/or title to your English speaking moderators so they can understand how the books fit the tasks. Any task requiring a specific title (number of letters, number of words, specific word in title, etc.) should apply to the title that you use.
Unfortunately, this means that L'étrangère is a one-word title and ineligble for task 20.3 option 3.
Mod
You already claimed Where They Last Saw Her for task 30.7 in message 1029.
Mod
Task 30.2 requires that both books have a minimum of 250 pages each. 1st Shock only has 196 pages.
Mod
Books between 80-99 pages may only be used for one 5 point task. Unfortunately, your edition of The Old Man and the Sea is not eligible for task 15.4.

oopsie I'll find another task for L'étrangère and keep task 20.3 for later.

I have updated the post to clarify that the novel follows the F1 circuit and they travel to many countries but they also spend a lot of time in the United States, San Diego to be specific since that is where they are from
Jayne wrote: "Slideshell message 851Task 10.9 requires you to state the word from the title and the National Scenic Area it matches."
I have updated the post to include that the word is ROCKS which matches the scenic area of Sedona Red Rocks
