Oh ok. I've read both parts. Can I still use the same anagram? And do I combine the word count for the big book ticket?

Thank you Rose. My record keeping leaves much to be desired, especially when I make mistakes and have to reallocate books. You're as sweet as your name.

You could use "ossa" for "A Storm of Swords"- that appears in both parts. Ossa appears in the scrabble dictionary

Yes, you can combine pages count for big book tickets

Bluemoon post 1978
The translator of a book isn't the writer of a book, so under the rules, a translator wouldn't work for a GRA ticket.

Pinky_rocks post 2029

task 15.2 requires a word in the title for option A. Please translate the title of Die Seidenstickerin Roman.
If you are using option B twice, GR no longer has the cover of this book, please repost and provide a link to a resource that displays the cover of the edition you read (a book retailer would be fine)

task 15.4- the recent data change has resulted in lost covers. In the future, please provide a link to a resource to display the cover. No need this time.

Just an FYI - John Green is not a GR author. Since David Levithan is a co-author of the book you used, and he is a GR author, I used his name in the spreadsheet to give you credit for a GRA ticket.
