Oi! I didn't even see that paragraph! whoopsies! Well those books probably won't work! I'll try again!

JENIFER post 962

Task 15.7 requires that you read the first book in a series of at least 3 books that have been published or will be published by the end of the summer challenge. Wicked as They Come won't work.

Also, please posts tasks in numerical order, smallest to largest - it makes it easier for the moderators to keep multiple tasks in the same post straight.

Hello,

For my post #114, I forgot to mention that Alan Bradley is a goodreads author. Is this the right place to post this?

Thanks!

You will need to repost any tasks you posted before you had a readerboard name to get credit for them.

Thanks.

[Claire]

Sorry! I was doing it on my phone - will repost x

NICOLA post 1063
Please explain how The Good Father fits task 10.3. The book description only mentions NC as a setting, and the author bio says she lives in NC.

[Nicola]

Sandy,
I guess I read in so many places I assumed it was linked
Sorry about that

Oh shoot... I completely misread the task and now I am on the wall of shame! I will replace that book and repost.

ASHLEY FL post 1105
Task 25.8, A options require that you identify the locations when you post.

[JC]

I think I'm missing a big book ticket, I should have 6. Perhaps my most recent one was missed? Post 1052.

Found and fixed, Jen. The correction will show up in the next update. Thanks for letting me know!

Task 30.5 requires that you specify the continents on which the books take place and the country in which you live. Note that the books must be set on different continents, and that neither can be set in the country in which you live.

Jamie McGuire is not noted as a Goodreads Author. No need to repost, just FYI for your records...

NATALIE FL post 1136

Task 30.8, A2 requires that you specify the location of the book if it's not obvious from the GR book description. Unless I missed it, the book description does not state where the book takes place.
B4 requires that you state how you got your free book.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

ERIN B post 1146
The book you claimed for 15.8, Meet the Beatles, only appears to have an ebook form.

If you claim a book in Completed Tasks that exists ONLY in ebook format, you must provide a reference to the ebook verification document when you post ex."Approved @ line #" or provide the post number in the ebook verification thread where it was approved ex. "Approved post #"

Please repost this task with the required information.

20.2 School's Out for Summer

I read Silver Girl by Elin Hilderbrand. This fits option 2- it has a beach scene on the cover and takes place during the summer.

Points claimed in this post: 20
Total points claimed: 125

I wasn't able to find anything posted regarding me in this problems/questions threads. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do. Thank you!

When I first picked this and even last night when I posted this it said Published August 7 2012, now today it says September 2012 (first published August 7 2012).

I guess I will have to try to find something else

well, you can always wait until August and see if it is published in August.

KRISTI CO post 1213
Task 30.7 requires that you choose one of the Awesome Matchups and read two books from the three choices given for that matchup. Your two books come from different matchups, so this combo won't work for this task.

I don't know why whichever GR librarian made this change. I did some research, and saw a couple places on line, including Amazon, that showed the book being released 8/7 - and since Amazon is trying to sell it, I'm thinking they're more on top of things than a random GR librarian!

So, I'm going to go ahead and take this one.

Hi, since I don't see a post in this thread alerting me to any problems, I think maybe my post 1161 was missed in the scoring. The readerboard shows me (MICHAEL LA) with 90 points, but I count 105 points as of post 1200. Thanks!

[Dee]

sandy - I changed the record to reflect the date that the publisher is showing for the release date (aug 7)

Thanks again Sandy!

Task 5.1 requires that the book be set in London, not just in England. I can't tell from the book description whether the book is primarily set in London.

I think this was for me because I didn't have the Bloom's info on there, so I just reposted 25.1
