Just an FYI- determining page number rule: "If you read an ebook, or audiobook use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition."

Task 20.8 - I don't find a print copy of The Rose Killer and I don't see it in the ebook verification thread. Did I miss it?

Yes, currently on the list at 396. ;-)

Thank you!

Task 20.1: Required: Please indicate which option you chose in your post. Please repost with the required information.

Just in case, here's all of my claimed tasks:
5.6, 5.7, 5.8 = 15
10.1, 10.4, 10.6, 10.7, 10.9, 10.10 = 60
15.4, 15.8, 15.9, 15.10 = 60
20.4, 20.5, 20.7, 20.8, 20.10 = 100
25.9, 25.12 = 50
30.3, 30.8 = 60
15+60+60+100+50+60= 345

Thanks, Angie. I skipped over 25.12. I've added it in and your points will show up in the next update. Also, thank you for listing your points! That makes it so much easier to figure out what I've missed.


Task 15.2 requires that you read two nonfiction books. Paradise Lost is fiction.
Also, please post your tasks in numerical order from smallest to largest. It makes record keep..."
Oops, sorry, I was looking only at DDC and not strictly non-fiction. I'm re-allocating it to another task.
And noted on numerical order, Will do :)

Playing the Game doesn't appear to have a print edition. It needs to be verified in the eBook Verification- no print edition thread before you can claim it for points.

Hi, Sallie. Before you can claim points for the challenge, we need you to set up a Readerboard name in the READERBOARD NAMES - Read Posts # 1 & 2 thread. When you're all set up there, you'll need to repost the tasks you posted in post 1206 so I can pick them up. I know it can be confusing, but this is the only way we can make some sense out of all the players. Thanks!

Task 25.10, option A requires that “Romance” must be in the genre list of the book’s main page. Even though Windy Night, Rainy Morrow is a Harlequin romance, romance is not listed in the genre list and, therefore, the book won't work for this task.

Task 20.1 - Required: Please indicate which option you chose in your post. Please repost this task with the required information.
Also, when posting multiple tasks, please in numerical order from smallest to largest. It makes it much easier when dealing with the spreadsheet. Thank you.

Task 15.6 -Required: Include the date of the list you used when you post. Please repost this task with the required information.

Task 15.6 - Required: Include the date of the list you used when you post.
Task 20.2 - REQUIRED: Indicate which option you chose.
Please repost these tasks with the required information.

I reposted, but my numbers still look wrong, has the Readerboard been updated through #1245?


Task 50.1 - If GRs doesn't have the cover of the edition you read, you'll need to provide a link to an outside source for verification purposes. Please repost this task with a link. No need to repost the other tasks, they have been recorded.

Task 20.1 - Required: Please indicate which option you chose in your post. Please repost this task with the required information.
Task 20.4 - If you didn't take part of the Winter Challenge, the task requires that you start a new series with its first book. Dark Magic is book #4, so it won't work for this task.

I cannot find a link for my edition. I have added a customer image to Amazon - will that suffice?

Yep, that'll work. If you'll just repost the task including that link so I can pick it up tomorrow night, that'd be great. I'm bushed and pretty much done for the night ;-). Thanks!

Fixed, sorry!
Fixed, sorry!

Task 25.9, option A -- requires a book with a 2 and a 3 in the page total. Dark Of The Moon won't work.

Task 10.8 - I don't see When the Heart Falls on the ebook verification thread. Did I miss it? (Or am I missing a PB edition?)
And congrats on being so close to finishing!!

Sorry I didn't catch this the first time around, but Hurt People Hurt People appears to be an ebook with no print equivalent. It needs to be verified in the eBook Verification- no print edition before it can be claimed for points. Once it's verified please repost the task so I can pick it up for points.

Kristi, it's approved. do you need me to repost?

Nope, I got it. Looks like you're finished ;-). Congratulations!

Task 30.5 - Mail-Order Millionaire appears to be an ebook with no print edition. It must be approved in the eBook Verification- no print edition thread before it can be counted for points.
Also, I'm not sure which task you'd like Hidden Summit to go toward.
When you get that all sorted out, please repost these tasks. The other task in this post is fine. No need to repost that one, it's been recorded.

Nope, I got it. Looks like you're finished ;-). Congratulations!"

I have a question about my GRA total. It says 4 but I have 14 in my records. Do you think the "1" got dropped from your count?

Total: 14 GRAs
And then yesterday I posted Post 1379 with GRA in Task 5.1 so next time you update my total would be 15.
Thank you so much for looking into this!

I have 2 GRA Tickets listed on my spreadsheet, 3 with my newest post (1415, which isn't in the count yet), whilst you have me listed with 1 GRA Ticket, counting up to post 1350.
1 in post 477 for Veronica Roth and 1 in post 652 forRichelle Mead. Does that one perhaps not count because it's the group-read task?
Thanks for your help there.

At the moment I have 80, but I haven't gotten to the post where you reposted task 25.9 so that's where the 25 point difference is coming from.
