Glad we caught it before your trip. Bon voyage!!
Mod
To claim retroactive GR author tickets, you'll need to post giving all the necessary information from your original posts - what the post # was, the name of the book, and the task it was claimed for.
Mod
Task 20.4 only requires 1 book. Since your post indicates that you rolled the 3 first, that book has been assigned to task 20.4.
If you find a place for the other book, since it appears in a bundle, please see the rules concerning claiming a component of a bundle- Rule format #11

Task 15.1 The Rose Killer is an ebook without a print edition. Please have this book verified for length in ebook verification, then repost this task
Mod
You claimed a big book ticket for 642 pages, for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The link you provided showed 465 pages.
The rules for big book tickets state:
** The book you link to should have the same approximate number of pages you are claiming (+/- 10 pages). If for example, you claim a Big Book that is 500 pages and the link you provide pulls up a book that is 350 pages, no Big Book ticket will be rewarded.
If the link you provided was not to the edition you read, please re-post with a link to the edition that you read.
I'm not sure whether my name was just added incorrectly or whether it was missed, but I should have an author ticket from my post 583 (Tamora Pierce is a Goodreads author). I saw that there's an Anna, but I'm Anna UK, and I don't know whether there was an Anna on that list before or not (so whether or not the UK was just missed off). Thanks :D
Mod
Please confirm the edition you read/listened to for task 5.9. The page numbers are very variable for this title.
Mod
Sorry, Anna UK! It's fixed and will show in the next update - thanks for the quick heads up!
Mod
Kathleen Grissom is not noted as being a GR author.
Mod
The ISBN of the book I read is 9780425241134.
I'm new at this, so please tell me what my next step is?"
For task 5.9 The Long and the Short of It- Read a short book (100-200 pages) with a long title (5 or more words) or a long book (400 or more pages) with a short title (fewer than 5 words). Your book, Hit List, has a short title so it needs to be 400+ pages. That edition has 320 pages, so it doesn't fit the task. You can try to fit it somewhere else.
Mod
ETA: Well, wait a second. I just checked my records. I record the page numbers directly from the book and I have 430 pages. So what's up?"
I haven't found an edition with that page count, but if that's the edition you have, that's fine. Reissues sometimes have different page numbers with the same isbn.
Mod
Task 25.4 option 2- "Plurals will be accepted, but compound words will not work. " Blueberry doesn't work.

Sorry - I switched books for this task and I must not have updated my spreadsheet correctly when I switched the book and author.

I'll switch this book to another task and repost when I have it worked out.
Thanks.
Mod
For task 15.3, what edition of The Snow Queen did you read? Most editions are fewer than 100 pages
Mod
There is more than one Jamie in the challenge. Please put your Readerboard name at the top of your post and repost your completed task.
Mod
The link you provided for Drums of Autumn shows an edition with 896 pages. If you read an edition with more pages, please repost with a link to the correct edition.
Mod
The rules for BB tickets state that
If you cannot find the correct edition on Goodreads, you must provide an outside link (to Amazon or Barnes & Noble, for example) that shows that the book is a Big Book.
If you want to claim a BB ticket for My Last Duchess, you'll need to provide a link to an edition that works.
Mod

Post #982 Annie M. I put Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult for Task #10.3 Spare Me. I meant to put Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult which is the book I just finished for that task
Sorry..... I had read Nineteen Minutes too for a previous task and I guess that title was stuck in my head :-)
