Summer Challenge 2012: Completed Tasks with ?s/problems
Mod
I generally do pretty well as long as I can FIND the brain - now where did I put that thing................
Mod
Task 20.8 only requires you to read one book, so you may want to use of these books for another task - when you post, please indicate that you are using the "extra" book from this task, to avoid confusion!
The book you claimed for 30.10,Fables of the Flag only shows an ebook edition.
See the posting requirements and post 1 in the Completed Tasks thread.
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 #"
Task 30.11, option 1, requires consecutive words in the title to begin with the same letter. Witch and Wizard will not work because the word "and" is between the two words beginning with "w."
Mod
Please note the numerous messages to you in this thread - you must post links to your books in order to claim posts for tasks. Since your account is not accepting messages, this thread is the only way I have to cotact you about this.
Mod
Task 30.8, option B4, requires "state how you got your free book when you post."
Mod
Task 5.9 requires that you use the bookshelves of an SRC member who joined Goodreads (not the SRC) in a summer month. The link you provided is to a person who joined GR in December.
Task 20.10 requires that you post in the discussion thread for the group read.

I will post these books for other tasks.
Mod
Just an FYI - "Aye, Aye Matey!" is 30.3, not 30.1 - no need to repost, just a heads up for your own records.
Mod
Task 20.9 requires that you specify the task for which you claimed "book X."
Task 30.5 does not include "free from publisher" as one of the options. The 3 choices are borrowed, recommended by a friend and taken from one of the moderators' shelves. You also need to include the country in which you live in your post.

You need to specify the task that you used the book for, not just "earlier this challenge." The task states:
Required: Please state which option you have chosen, explain how the title for your chosen book appears within Book X, AND state the number of the task you have already claimed points for using Book X.

Unless I'm missing it, I still don't see the task number that you used book X for. "earlier in the challenge" is not "the number of the task you have already claimed points for using Book X."

Mod
Cool so sorry about that. It's definitely a monday!
Mod
Task 20.4 requires that you state that the author is new to you.
Sandy, I believe you missed my points in post #1306 (on pages 27 of the completed tasks thread). I checked here for any mention of any problems but didn't see a post mentioning that. Let me know when you can, and thanks for all that you do for our group. It's very much appreciated :).
Mod
I'll check after work - thanks for the heads up.
Mod
Found and fixed - thanks for the quick heads up, and special thanks for the useful info to help me track this down quickly!

Hi Sandy,In my most recent post (#1374) you got all of my points but missed my GRA's. I was at 14, and should be at 18 now. Not a big deal, but it might confuse you in the next post when the figures don't match up.
Thanks for all your efforts in this - not sure how you do it all! :-)

I don't do the GR authors and BBs, Nicola, not this season. We divide the work, so that none of us runs away screaming!
If you look at the separate listings, you'll see the post #'s through which they are updated - and they're not always the same. When the GRA's are updated through 1400, you should see the correct totals.
Oops I did not notice that. I think that is great that you split it up - good thinking! Sorry, my post is fine then. I just can't imagine that this doesn't confuse you, and I am trying my best not to add to the confusion, however that has not kept me off the wall of shame (hang my head and walk away now!)
Mod

This is not a problem, Nicola - any question that I can answer without doing any research is just fine with me! And, you're doing just what I asked in my post in the Moderator Announcements - keeping on top of all this and giving a quick heads up - so thank you.
Lindsay T -- post 1328Sorry, John Green is not noted as being a Goodreads author. No need to repost. Just FYI for your records...
Mod
Task 30.8, option B4, requires that you "state how you got your free book when you post."
Mod
Unleash the Night is listed on GR as being #9 in the Dark Hunter series and #4 in the Were Hunter series. Task 30.3, option A3, requires #8 in a series.
Sandy wrote: "SAM post 1450Unleash the Night is listed on GR as being #9 in the Dark Hunter series and #4 in the Were Hunter series. Task 30.3, option A3, requires #8 in a series."
Hi Sandy
I can see what I have done. For task 30.1 I used Sins of the Night which is actually book 8 for the mythology book when I should have used Unleash the Night I just put them on my spreadsheet wrong. Is it ok to swap them round? Do you want me to repost?
Mod
You can certainly swap them around if they fit that way - you will need to repost, explaining what you're doing.

This was re-posted with how I got it free, Post 1469
Thanks for all of your hard work!
Sandy, I don't know where you are on checking posts, but I didn't want to edit and throw you off so...on 1473 I didn't transfer all my points on my spread sheet so I have a wrong grand total. It should be 920. I have corrected on my spread sheet.
Mod
Thanks, Donna Jo.

Jennifer, if you are trying to claim GR author tickets, you are going to have to include author link in a repost. I don't need the links for the basic points, because I checked them on the first post.
Mod
Task 30.5 requires that you specify the country in which you live and the continent on which each of your books takes place.
Mod
Please check your totals. I show you with a total of 155. On your most recent post that I can find before this one (6/25), you showed a total of 50 points, then in this post you added tasks totalling 105 points, for a total of 155, not 170. I can't find any post between 6/25 and this one, but if you did make one, please let me know the post number.

Sandy, you are correct.

By my count I should have 11 Goodreads authors (up to post 1426) My Readerboard total is 8. If you could look in to the missing three I'd really appreciate it. I can definitely see this being an error on my end, because math has never been my strong point, but I just wanted to double check!
Meagan, if you look at the GRA ticket list, it's only updated through post 1400. So if you're last post was 1426, it hasn't been counted yet.
Thanks! That would clear up my issue. *Shakes head at inability to process information*
Mod
The rules of the challenge state:
4. To claim a task in Completed Tasks, the book you use MUST exist on Goodreads. Instructions on manually adding a book to the Goodreads database can be found in Add a book instructions. You MUST include a link to the book edition you read. If a task requires details about an author, the author link must be included.
There's also a thread in General Help, Anyone with librarian status , where you can ask for help with this.
I've added the book for Shannon - The Agatha Christie Book Club - but it also appears to be an ebook only release
Mod
Thank you, Dee.
Shannon, you'll need to get this approved in the ebook approval thread to use it. Please see the first post in the Completed Tasks thread.
Sandy I made mistake with my total points in post 1382,
Ive written 205 while I have 225.
Thank You in advance :)
Sarah Eva - post 1441To claim GRA tickets for E. L. James, you'll need to make a new post in the completed task thread listing the numbers of the original posts you claimed E. L. James books in. We can no longer click on your name and see all your past posts and I don't have time to go back through 1400 posts. Thanks!
Jennifer KS - post 1491Large print books cannot be counted for Big Book tickets. When reading a large print book, you must 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. Because there is no paperback edition of Silver Girl over 500 pages, it does not qualify for a BB ticket.
Hi, everyone! I'm back from vacation and the GRA and BB tickets should be caught up with the Readerboard. Please check your GRA and BB totals. If there are differences in my numbers and your records, please let me know what posts you've claimed GRAs and BBs in and I'll attempt to track down the problem. Thanks!
