Notes:
Kathy - Post #86 was miscounted. There was an extra point added in somewhere.

Marji - Post #110 "False Mermaid" is in #9 position not #7. Also, post # 118 835p = 8 bonus, not 6.

LadyW - Post 125 Qualifies for HF point. I've added it to your total.

Jayme - Sorry, I cannot change your list order. You edited the post on 4/17, after the cutoff. Therefore, your points in post #178 cannot be counted. See the guidelines I posted in #144.

Diane - Posts #168 & #175 were miscounted. Also, your 1st HF bonus book was recorded, but the points have not been added to your total, since you have to read both books to earn points.

Nancy = Post #182 The Bungalow is in spot 11 after list change, not 14. The Orchid House was counted for the 14 spot in post #176.

If I've missed anything, let me know. :)

Queen of the Conqueror is a biography on Matilda, not a historical fiction. I don't know why some users have filed it as a HF. It's definitely not.

[Becky, Moddess]

Oh, OK. I'll remove the point then. I just briefly glanced at the description. I should have read it more carefully.

Sorry - I have to be fair. Changes were only allowed on 4/15 even though I wasn't able to update them then since I was out of town. Since I don't know what the edit was after the cutoff, I can't allow the new list.
