Unfortunately, State of Wonder won't work for 25.1B. The title of the book must have exactly 4 letters from ALEXANDRIA - no more, no fewer.
State of Wonder has 5 - A E N D R
No need to re-post the other tasks listed in post 1103

A die roll of 5, Excalibur, for task 20.9 requires you to read a book featuring a castle, knights, or King Arthur. I didn't see anything about these things in the GR description of The Night Circus. Could you explain how this book fits the task?

Found the problem - when you claimed task 20.1, you called it 20.2 and that's how it was marked in the spreadsheet. I have to do this in bits and pieces, so when I was entering your post that included 20.2, I came back to the computer, saw that I had you marked down for 20.2 in the spreadsheet, I thought that task was already entered and moved on to the next one. Sorry - I've added 20.1 to the spreadsheet now.
Oh, hell. That task is killing me - I keep miscounting how many letters I have! Thanks, I'll find somewhere else to stick that book.

Thanks so much and so sorry about that! I try to keep it as simple and correct as I can for ya. I know it must be quite a job to keep up with it and I appreciate it!

No problem - we all slip up - that's why we all have to keep checking on each other, to catch these things!

There is more than one April on the Readerboard. Please re-post this task, including your readerboard name.

Task 5.3 requires that either the title or the author's name include an element from the Periodic Table of Elements. I'm no scientist, so I could be missing it, but could you please point out which word here is from the Periodic Table?

No problem the element is tin. marTIN

Thanks! I have avoided science to the extent possible throughout my life, so looking for the elements here is like decoding a foreign language!

In my hurry to get the readerboard up to date for the midpoint, I missed the fact that you posted only part 1 of a book for task 25.6B. I am sorry that it took me a couple days to catch this.
The rules require that you read an entire book for a task, not just part of a book. The binding of a book is not the important thing - see post 149 below. You will have to read the entire book to claim it for task credit.

Oh OK! I have already started volume 2 so I will repost that task when I have finished it. I guess then I can claim it as a big book counting the pages in both volumes added together, would that be right?

absolutely.

Task 20.9 requires a die roll to determine which option you use. You must indicate what you rolled.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants won't work for task 15.7, because it begins with a "T" and ends with an "S."
Also, please post your tasks in numerical order, from low to high. That makes it much easier to correctly enter the points claimed. Thanks.
LUCKNGRACE - post 1245The Goodreads record for The Woman in White you linked to shows 702 pages. That's good for 1 Big Book ticket. If the edition you read actually has 752 pages, please repost with a link to the appropriate edition.

Thanks, Kristi, just reposted.
Lindy-Lane - post 1292Gordon Korman is not noted as being a GR author. No need to repost or anything, just letting you know for your records.

OK. I'll try to find another place for the book and I'll be more careful to put my posts in order. Thanks for the reminder.
Mod
It looks as if the book you posted for Task 30.5B was published in English under one title and in German under another. The task requires that the book have been published under 2 different titles in the same language.

Thanks, sorry about my error.
Hi Sandy, my total should be 470 (see post 1316) as of the 1350th post but it is currently reflected as 425.
Sandy, I show I should have a total through 1350 of 1020 points not the 990 that shows on the readerboard. Was there a problem with my post 1347?
My score is also wrong. I should 440 points; my last post was #1301.Angie CA
My last post was 1335 and I should have 905 points. I just wanted to also check in.Thanks!
Sorry to add to the chorus, but my score did not get updated either. I posted 45 points in Post #1328, so my total on the posting through #1350 should be 590 points, unless there was a problem with my posting.

Post #1341: 155 + 15 = 170
Thanks!
And another with the wrong score. I should have 250 (not 220), with #1317 as my last post. Thanks!

Sorry, Sandy - I misread the task instructions! I'll find another book!
Sorry but mine is wrong also. I should have 410 points as of post 1306.
Mine too! - post 1350 should have brought me up to 240 points - it looks as if your most recent updating didn't go onto the readerboard properly.
Mod
I will check this out when I get home from work tonight.
What a pain for you to have to deal with Sandy. The job is hard enough without technical malfunctions as well.
Mod
Looks like everything is okay now, and I didn't get any weird messages when I just entered the update.
Hi sandy, I noticed I'm not listed on the Readerboard. I just posted my first updates within the last couple days. So perhaps that's the reason
Mod
At the top of the readerboard, it indicates the post # through which it has been updated. If your posts were not 1350 or lower, then they would not be reflected on the readerboard yet.

Tast 20.9 is a one book task - so, you would only use the book for the die roll you made (3 for the Mirage, 4 for Treasure Island), and you could fit the other book into a different task.
Mod
The book you posted for task 5.5 shows as having been published in January 2009.

There is more than one Jamie on the readerboard. Please repost, including your readerboard name.

Task 20.10 requires that you post a comment in the discussion thread. I didn't see one there from you.

Okay - I'll add that post.
