task 30.5 The Peace Garden is an ebook without a print edition. Please repost after having this book verified for length


message 261: by Angie (new)

Angie  (angie) | 124 comments I searched the "completed tasks with ?" board to see if I'd been notified about a possible mistake with my GRA tickets, but I didn't find anything, so I'm going to post a question.

The rules for claiming a GRA ticket state: "If you read two books by the same GR author during the challenge, you will receive two tickets (one ticket per book)."

Does this mean that if I read multiple books by a GRA during the challenge that I receive a ticket for each book read?

According to my records (and my records could be wrong, of course :), I should have 6 GRA tickets--if I'm understanding that rule right. In each of my posts I explicity noted each author as a GRA.

In post 301, I read a book by Elizabeth Hoyt and a book by Julia Quinn. In post 441 I read another book by Julia Quinn. In post 798 I read a book by Janet Evanovich and two books by Livia J Washburn.

Did I do something wrong?

task 25.7 for book 2 asks for a book by an author whose name begins with the last letter of the previous author's first or last name. Using Rachel Caine for the first book- the 2nd book's author should begin with L or E. Christina Dodd doesn't work

Please indicate that an author is a GR author when you list the book, rather than just listing them all at the end of the post. It's a lot easier to keep up with the record keeping if I can check them as I go through your posts, rather than finding out at the end that you're claiming GR authors.

No need to repost these.
Thanks!

I thought I was going to use it for option D, when I went and looked today it had a higher rating, so I though. not sure what I was looking at. Can you change it to option D or do I need to repost?
