Winter Challenge 2010-2011 - completed task posts with ?/problems
Sorry Sandy, consider me chastised! Would it be easier if I just reposted the 5 point task in a new post today?
Mod
No, I've got it fixed now. Don't worry about it - I'm not sure this was ever clear, so people may well have thought that if it wasn't posted, I hadn't logged it in yet.

Mennonite in a Little Black Dress was specifically disapproved for this task in the help thread.

Task 10.1 requires that you specify which SRC winter birthday member's list you used to choose your book.
ANNA EMy points for task 30.3 don't seem to have been added to my readerboard score (posting 513/4).
I seem to have got in a pickle with this posting. I think I might have forgotten to post my readerboard name. Sorry to make more work for you. I will get the hang of this.... eventually!

yep, the problem is that you didn't include your readerboard name, so the points were given to "Anna." I'll fix it.

Task 30.7 requires that you read books totaling at least 800 pages.

I think that I picked it off of pjreads shelf. I corrected my post to include that information.

I'll go back and look for this one, but in the future, you need to do a new post for any tasks that were not complete the first time. It is too time consuming for me to have to go back and look for old posts that have been edited.
Oh Sandy I am so sorry. I knew that I needed to do a repost. I will not make that mistake again. Thanks

Task 10.9 requires that there be at least 3 published books in the series and that you read the most recently published.

Sorry! I completely didn't register the 3 book portion of the task. Back to the drawing board.
Sandy wrote: " LINDSAY MA post 613Task 30.7 requires that you read books totaling at least 800 pages."
Whoops! I'll go fix that now and come up with different tasks for those books. Thanks!
Mod
Task 5.7 requires that you post a link to the book or to the cover.
5.2 -- Singles Awareness Day-> the title must be one-word in English or in my mother tongue? The titles are different (often very much)

Task 30.8 requires that all the letters of A S I A (including 2 A's) be in either the title or the author's name. I don't see more than one A in The Wednesday Sisters.
Mod
For task 30.6, die roll of 2, the book must be published in the same year your favorite author's first book was published. Lloyd Alexander's first book was published in 1955, first one listed on GR was published in 1956.
Task 30.8 requires that all the letters of A S I A (including 2 A's) be in either the title or the author's name. Neither of the books you listed seems to meet that requirement.
For task 5.4, is 'mistletoe' considered a winter related word?

Hi Sandy - I should have double checked - sorry about that! I've updated my post so that this book satisfies a different task.
Mod
Please do a new post.
Just checking....On post 767 I claimed a Big Book ticket for The Woods, but I inserted the link for the hardcover (fewer pages- only 404) instead of the paperback that I read. My copy had 528 pages. Can I still get a credit for the Big Book? Should I repost? Thanks!

Thanks! I'm not sure why, but I never can seem to find the correct spot on my own to post questions. Sorry for the trouble!

Sh*t My Dad Says doesn't appear to be a memoir about "the writing life" - more about his father than about him and his writing career. Please see the first few posts in the task help thread.

Sandy - Sorry for the mixup. This is my first challenge and I guess I didn't read the task or posting requirements through completely. I'll shuffle some of the books I had planned for other taks and will repost later.
Thank you.

Ok, thanks. I'll see if I can move it to task 20.5. I'll re-post in task thread once I get approval and see if I can find a different book for 15.1B.

Sorry Sandy, I read Twilight from Jennifer N's list. I'll go back in and update that post. Sorry to have left it out the first time.
I was just checking the readerboard which is updated through 1072 and only saw 80 points for my name "Terri FL" but in post 962 I had completed 120 points. I checked this board to see if there were any issues with any of my posts but could not find any notes for me. Am I missing something?Thanks!

Yes, please don't go back and edit messages, even if the readerboard hasn't been updated through that post. It's a big job to keep up with this, so I work on it in bits as I have the time, then post when I've got a bunch added.
Any time an old post is edited, it is very possible that I won't see the edit.
