Task 20.1 has no option that requires a 7 word title (30.1 maybe?)
If it fits another 20.1 option- Required: State which option you chose when you post.

nope. This is just to explain to you why you don't have as many GR author tickets as you thought you had.

Mercy -- post 2134+

Mercy, did you get a Readerboard name yet? You must do that before you can post in Completed Tasks. Please post in Readerboard Names so we can get you on the Readerboard. You will need to repost the tasks in posts 2134, 2135, 2136

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

MERCY post 2135, 2136

When you repost, please indicate specifically which authors you are claiming as GR authors. A total at the bottom isn't enough. It also helps if you post the author's name along with the link to the book - that way, if it's an author I know to be a GR author, it makes the process a little less timeconsuming.

thanks!

Task 5.6 " or a picture of a baseball, baseball player, baseball game,baseball bat, a hot dog, or a pie or piece of pie on the cover. "

An image of an apple is not applicable to this task, see post 13 in the help thread

[Isabell]

That comes from not reading properly. I really had myself convinced that apples were on that list.

I'll move that book to another task and repost it. Do I need to repost the other tasks from that post as well?

No need to repost the other tasks

STACY CT post 2253
The link you provided for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn only shows 493 pages. If you read an edition with 500 or more pages, please repost with the link to the edition you read. Please note in the repost that this is only for purposes of BB ticket, so Dlmrose will know that it's not a new task claimed.

I still haven't figured out how to get the links to go to the edition I want... sorry. I tried to get to the "mass market paperback" but instead it went to the hardcover. Here's the link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35...
and I'll try it again through the "add book/author" here: Force of Nature (Troubleshooters #11)

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Stesse wrote: "I still haven't figured out how to get the links to go to the edition I want... sor..."

When you click on the add book/author and enter a title, on the right, under the "add book" button, there's a link for other editions. If you click that, all the editions come up. You can either "guess and check" by clicking the editions until you find the correct one (then click the "add" button next to that one), or you can narrow it down ahead of time by knowing the publication date of the one you read, since that usually shows in the list that comes up.

[Dee]

IIRC - once you pull up the other editions, if you hover over the cover - it should provide you the information (at least format)

I reposted the task.

I seem to be missing a GR Author ticket on the readerboard. This may stem from the switching I did in post #2283; I added 2 GR Authors in this post: Eloisa James for task 15.10 and Brandon Sanderson for task 50.1 and should have 9 total GR Authors. Thanks for checking!

Stesse, if I think there will be a lot of editions, I usually type in the ISBN. Of course, this doesn't work on some of the old books I read that don't have ISBNs.

Thank you Sandy! We're in the home stretch and all of you mods have done another stellar job this challenge - KUDOS!!
