Sorry I didn't check the task before posting. I'll just switch them around.
For 30.1, I will put The Unbearable Lightness of Dragons
. Also, for 30.1, Kelly Barnhill was the new-to-me author.For 30.2, I will put Up in Smoke
for book #1 and Love in the Time of Dragons
for book #2, which is the first book in its series. I read them all the same week and just didn't check. Does this fix it ok?

I don't think a switch will work, but it's hard to tell without a new post to put all the books together.
30.1 requires 2 books by the same new-to-you author or 2 new-to-you authors. It doesn't look like the 2nd book in the series will work- but you'll need to make that determination...Was Katie MacAlister new-to-you when you read the 2nd book in the series?
You will need to repost
Mod
The Dig is an ebook without a print edition. It must be verified for length at ebook Verification. Please repost when that is complete

Whoops - so sorry about that. I do try not to create extra work for the moderators! We really appreciate all your hard work on this site. This is my first SRC and it's great fun!

Reposted for 30.2 in post 1733. Switching one of the books for 30.1 for something else. Will post when that's done.

Sorry, didn't realize it had no print edition. How do you tell?
Mod
"
Check the format for the book on the GR record of the edition you read and the "other editions" section- The Dig has an ebook and a kindle edition. If the title was issued in print it will list those formats- hardcover, paperback, mass market paperback, large type, library binding, etc
Mod
task 20.5- Warprize does not seem to fit option A- a real war and for B- "war" in title: "Plurals and possessives are OK, but no other variations are allowed" so a title with "Wars" or "War's" would work, but compound like "Warprize" words do not.
Mod
Please check your total.

It's Summer Somewhere is task 10.5, not 10.1. Please update your records, no need to repost.

task 10.8- Please confirm that Island of Lost Girls had 445 ratings when you selected this book. Currently, this book has 448 reviews, but 2,153 ratings. The task requires less that 1,000 ratings.
Dlmrose wrote: "hpaddict post 180330.1 requires "You also must indicate which author(s) is new to you, as the task requires." Please repost with the required information"
sorry - I forgot to make a note of that - both authors are new to me
Mod
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 post, rather than finding out at the end that you're claiming GR authors.
No need to repost these.
Thanks!
Mod
Richard Paul Evans is not noted as being a Goodreads author.

I'm sorry my copy and pasting from my personal list got away from me, I meant to write that book B was odd. So I read a book where the title had consecutive words that begin with the same letter.
Should I repost?

Sorry, I thought I was denied and didn't remember replacing the book. Do you remember which books were finally allowed? If not, don't look it up. It's okay.

You claimed a BB ticket for a large print book. You can only claim a BB ticket for a large print edition if you normally must read large print editions."
Okay - thanks for letting me know.
