Task 15.1 Backseat Saints only fits one parameter of the ONE book option. The one book option must fit 2 parameters.
Task 15.4 Read ONE anthology or collection of essays, short stories, poems, or novellas by several contributing authors or read TWO anthologies or collections each by a single author.
Read-Aloud Handbook is not an anthology; it provides annotated reading lists, and it is a title by a single author.

Annie MI recently started reading Duane's Depressed by Larry McMurtry to complete the task 15.5 Mind the Gap because a friend gave it to me and said it was the 3rd in a series of 5 books. When I clicked on the Goodreads page for this book today it is only listed as a 3 book trilogy!! I am including a link that shows it is the 3rd book in the 5 book The Last Picture Show series of books. Do I just need to stop reading this book and find something else or can I get credit for it if I finish it? THanks for letting me know ASAP so I can find something to read in its place if it will not qualify.
Last Picture Show Series
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/m/l...
1. The Last Picture Show (1966)
2. Texasville (1987)
3. Duane's Depressed (1999)

Task 5.9 The Long and the Short of It
Re: ebook page number rules "if there is no page count for the electronic edition, use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardback edition."
The only print edition of the Gabrielsson book is the hardcover "There Are Things I Want You to Know" about Stieg Larsson and Me that has 224 pages- confirmed by the publisher's catalog. This book does not work as a short book <200 pages.

You have posted some tasks twice and your total does not reflect some tasks in your June 19th post #523. Please review your total and the tasks you have claimed.
Mod
Neither Jayne Castle nor Amanda Quick is noted as a GR author. The rules on GR authors state that
** The author of the book must be listed as a Goodreads Author. Therefore, pseudonyms not listed as Goodreads Authors will not receive a ticket.

Do I need to re-post those tasks, or do I just adjust my personal totals?

sorry, it will be fixed in the next update. Please make sure to put your readerboard name in the post if you have to claim retroactive GR authors - I won't see it if you edit it later to add your readerboard name.

I'm sorry for that mess. I totally forgot about that first post. In early July my hard-disc (on which my notes for the challenge along with the claimed tasks and the spreadsheet to mark which books I would use for which task and which I had already read and/or claimed) crashed and had to be replaced, so I redid my planning from scratch.
I've just corrected my new spreadsheeet to give me my correct total and points claimed.
Sandy wrote: " LORI BNPL post 997Melissa de la Cruz is not noted as being a GR author."
It showed her as one when I posted it. Don't know what happened.
Thank You girls for updating my points. I do not know how I counted 240 :( You are right is 225. I do not know if I can update my post #1391 if not next time I will write proper number.

Sheila, the edition of The Passage that you linked has 640 pages. Is that the correct edition?

Dlmrose wrote: "Sheila -- post 1442Sheila, the edition of The Passage that you linked has 640 pages. Is that the correct edition?"
No it should have linked to

I have reposted with the correct edition
