The length has been verified in the eBook Verification thread and I have reposted this task.
Thanks!
Tracy -- post 1296Please do not post tasks that you've already posted. This requires me to go back through all of my records to see which posts you've already posted and which ones are new. It's really time consuming. Please repost only the newly completed posts that have not already been claimed. Thank you for making recorded keeping as painless as possible.
Casey -- post 1299There is more than one Casey in the challenge. Please repost this task with your Readerboard name at the top of your post.
I changed my name from Casey to CaseyKS. I will repost. I have 2 tasks completed for a total of 25 pts. Its Elementary my dear watson and spring break. Sorry for any confusion.

I had left a comment (#28), but it was a short one. Is that okay? Anyway, I just reposted as requested. Thanks.

I knew I missed one! My #'s were off by 10 points and now I know why. It was supposed to be for completing task 10.5. I will repost it the next time I post some more points. Please just disregard. I have removed the error from the post. Thanks!

Only one Goodreads author ticket will be awarded for a book.

OK, thanks. I forgot about that but I remember reading it now. Do I need to repost that challenge with only one author higlighted?

You'll need to repost the task so I can pick up the points for it.
Southpaw285 -- post 1391For task 30.5, you need to pick members whose birthdays all closest to your day. If you were born on the 5th, you need to pick 2 members born on the 5th (of any month) if possible. If not, then you move on to the 4th or 6th (of any month) and so on.
Jenny Chicago -- post 1494A Taste For Death and Death In Holy Orders will not work for Task 30.7. The task description states that the books may not be by the same author.
Kelly G -- post 1527Task 30.5 requires you to read books from two different member's shelves.
Shoot... and I read the task description about 10 times too. Missed that... sorry... will figure out a new home for one of them, and then post them brand new when I figure it out. Thanks for your help.

Norma -- post 1562Are these tasks for the Reading with Style group? They don't fit any of the tasks for this seasons SRC.
Any idea when we will get the 50-point task up there? This is the 19th. You would think that anyone who is close to the highest score and has never posted a task would start early and plan ahead. I know that I do
Mod
The task will be posted when it's available.

On post 1533 is a repost of 20.10. Is there something else I need to do?
Sandy wrote: "Cheryl wrote: "Any idea when we will get the 50-point task up there? This is the 19th.

I am just excited and impatient to get a new task. Please accept my apologies. :)
Julie wrote: "On post 1533 is a repost of 20.10. Is there something else I need to do?"Nope, you're all set. Your points will show up in the next Readerboard update.
Mandy Y -- post 1618Task 30.5 requires that you post your birth day as well as the members whose shelves that you used. You do not need to post your complete birthday, only the day, i.e. 3rd or 20th. Pleas repost this task including the information previously posted as well as the missing information.
I just reposted it with birthdays. Sorry about that! Kristi (Passion for the Page) wrote: "Mandy Y -- post 1618Task 30.5 requires that you post your birth day as well as the members whose shelves that you used. You do not need to post your complete birthday, only the day, i.e. 3rd or 2..."
I'm sorry but I've messed up my point total for the last couple posts because I forgot to take the 20 points off my spread sheet for a task I reported wrong. I think my latest post 1794 got it straightened out.
I have reposted as CaseyKS and I don't see my pts on readerboard. I think it is like 25pts with 2 completed tasks. Just wondering if you saw my re-post but no hurry thanks! :)
CaseyKS. wrote: "I have reposted as CaseyKS and I don't see my pts on readerboard. I think it is like 25pts with 2 completed tasks. Just wondering if you saw my re-post but no hurry thanks! :)"At the very top of the Readerboard, you'll find the post number though which I've verified books claimed. At the moment, I've gotten up to post 1650. Your repost is after this. So, no, I haven't gotten to it, yet. Hopefully soon, though ;o).
Hi, I just realized that I claimed the same book for 2 different tasks...oops. For both 15.3 (post 1632) and task 5.4 I claimed Confessions of a Not It Girl. I would like to change my book for part b of 15.3 to Front and Center which I also borrowed from the library. This switch does not change my points...just realized I had the same book down twice in my spreadsheet, oops! Do I need to repost?

TANYAPT -- post 1780Task 30.2 -- The Polished Hoe: A Novel by Austin Clarke will not work for Kelly Clarkson. The task requirements state: The entire first or last name must be intact within the title or author name. For example you could not use a book by author Mary Higgins Clark for Kelly Clarkson but you could use a book by an author named Leeland for Lee DeWyze since the entire name Lee is intact and spelled the same within the name.
So Sorry! Will re-post books for different tasks.Kristi (Passion for the Page) wrote: "TANYAPT -- post 1780

Amanda, I'm a little confused by your RB name. I think you are Amanda P, but you put Jana at the top of your post. I want to credit your Goodreads Authors correctly. Please let me know. Thanks
Aleksandra -- post 1909Task 30.1 requires you to read books from 2 authors who are the opposite gender from yourself -- so, they would both need to be men (Jane Green won't work). Also, you will need to state which author you put into the Literature Map to find these two men when you repost. Thanks!
Rosemary -- post 1941I'm sorry, Rosemary, but Boy2Girl won't work with Girl with a Pearl Earring for task 30.7 because Boy2Girl is written as one word. The words have to be identical.

No problem, I will find something else. Thanks!
Stephanie -- post 1980Task 15.6 requires you to state which novel inspired your choice. Please repost this task including the required information.
Kate C -- post 1990Listing all of your tasks requires me to go back through thousands of posts to figure out what books I've already recorded for you and where you're moving them. Please repost only the books you are moving, making it VERY clear where you are moving them. Thank you for making record keeping as painless as possible.
When you get a chance can you check my big book tickets? It doesn't show me having any at all.Thanks
