Task 30.8, option B4, requires that you state how you got your free book.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

GAYLE post 2189

Task 30.8, option B1, does not allow ordinal numbers, so 7th Heaven will not work.

[Claire]

It was from the Crazy Love list, shall I repost on Completed Tasks post? X

yes, you'll need to repost. Thanks.

Hi, I realized that yesterday's post (2167), had my points total way off. It should have been 420. Sorry about that. Just wanted to post here since it was my mistake. Thanks!

Task 15.3 requires nouns. "her" is a pronoun, so that book won't work for this task.

Task 25.5, option 2, requires a cover showing "two people embracing" - this cover doesn't work for that.

Task 15.7 requires that you read the first book in a series, defined as at least 3 books that have been published or will be published by the end of the challenge. Hearse and Buggy does not appear to have any other books in the proposed series.

Task 30.11, option 1, requires you to read a book with 2 consecutive words in the title beginning with the same letter, not two consecutive letters in a word in the title.

Oops my bad... will repost appropriately. Thanks Sandy!

Task 10.7 requires poetry (or a day of the week in the title) - Romeo and Juliet is not written in verse.

[JC]

I seem to be 25pts short on the most recent update - perhaps my last post was missed 2249, the last one before the most recent update. My total shows 425 - thank you for checking!

Task 5.9 requires that you read a book from the shelf of an SRC member who joined "Goodreads (not the SRC)" in June, July or August.

[Jessica]

Gah - so close to not messing up this season! I've found another member for the same book that should work and I'll repost.

I would dispute that - Shakespeare's plays - including Romeo and Juliet - are written in blank verse. Iambic pentameters with a rhyming couplet to denote the end of a scene. http://shakespeare.about.com/od/shake...

I suppose it still might not fit the task since it is not a book of poems or a novel in verse, but it is verse.

It does not fit the task. Romeo and Juliet is noted as only being about half written in blank verse - so the play itself is hardly "a book of poetry or a novel written in verse" any more than any other play/ novel that includes some poems within it.

Please explain how The Glimpse fits the task - I don't see anything in the GR summary that says it's set in London.

Task 30.5 requires that you indicate which moderator you stole the book from.

Oops! I actually had it in there, but I "edited" my post to make it neater... I've reposted!

Bea - post 2338

Sorry, but Ariana Franklin is not noted as being a Goodreads Author. No need to repost, just FYI for your records.

[Michael]

My point total is incorrect in my post (my fault) and on the readerboard. As of post #1467 I should have 140 not 135. The tasks completed are 10.3, 10.4, 10.7, 15.6, 15.8, 15.9, 20.1,20.4 and 25.6. Can I get this looked at and updated, pretty please. Thanks

The readerboard shows you with 140, Michael.

[Mandy]

Hi--I believe this problem is for Kristi.

My GRAs aren't correct on the Readerboard. I should have 4 GRAs, rather than 2.

My posts claiming tickets are

-2188 (Diana Gabaldon and Paula McLain)
-1537 (Neil Gaiman)
-1435 (Veronica Roth)

Thanks for your constant attention and hard work!

[Michael]

Thank you Sandy!

ALICE G post 1435
Task 20.9 requires that you include in your post the task number for which you claimed points for "book X."

For task 25.8, option A2, you need to include your location as well as the author's.

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

MEERA post 2436
Task 30.4A - A Pale Horse won't work for this, because the "I" and the "U" are in the series title, not the title/subtitle/author's name.

[Deedee]

It looks like DeeDee Post #2190 was not included in the Readerboard total.

NICOLA post 2450

PLEASE do not include past postings in your new posts. It just confuses things.

[Nicola]

Sorry - I was told by someone you needed that to help for reference. I did it so I would not end up here, and look what happens! :)

[Dee]

lol Nicola ;)

[Sheila]

Now who told you that Nicola? Dee and I will find them and SET THEM STRAIGHT! We don't want our mods CONFUSED!!

Just kidding Nicola - no names please.

[Nicola]

I won't give away my secret -- but may have to mislead the next challenge???
Only joking - she was trying to help, but.....

[Sassafrass]

it was me, I admit it, but I may have not be clear. I just meant that they needed to know what you were replacing not the whole post. *hides head in shame* sorry.

[Sheila]

too funny Sassafrass. Here we are all trying to avoid being HERE to make the mods enormous job easier and well - here we are. :)

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

Let's clarify - it's necessary for you to include enough info in your post about the task for which you're making a change so we know what you're doing.

But to copy and paste an entire posting of many tasks just leads to confusion - I kept trying to figure out why you were posting tasks that you had already posted and was trying to go back through all your old posts to see if somehow I had entered everything incorrectly on the spreadsheet.

[Sassafrass]

Yes, Sandy. Sorry, that's what I was trying to say. I just totally screwed it up. :( Sorry.

[Nicola]

I wasn't going to even mention you Sassafrass - now I know better! See Sandy, we want to make things easier for you and simply mess you up! Lucky for us you, and all the mods, are so awesome at what you do! Sorry for the confusion!

BTW good luck with your mom this week Sandy.

[Nicola]

Sassafrass - I DO appreciate the help. Thanks.
