You chose an option from number 2 and an option from number 6. Both options must come from the number you rolled

you're right, thank you.

Hi Dlmrose, in my records, my GR authors total is 16. In the readerboard, it is listed as 15. Could you please check and let me know if I've made a mistake? Thanks!

I've recorded The 9th Judgment as task 5.9.

If you are using it for 5.10 please let me know here and repost indicating the Read-Alike list

Hi Sandy - I seem to have lost some big book tickets. I should have 5 as of post #769 - I think we were on track until the most recent update and now I'm down to 1. I can give you specific post #s for tickets claimed if you need them. Thanks for checking!

They're all there, Jen. The problem is that you're on the list twice - Jen C and JenC. I'll get them merged.

Chris MD post 886

For task 30.11, you claimed an abridged audiobook for a BB ticket.

Please see the Rules of the Challenge -
8. Audiobooks may be used for SRC tasks. Page numbers should be counted as described for ebooks above. Audiobooks that do not have a written word equivalent, either published in paper or digitally, may NOT be used for SRC tasks.
Audiobooks that are noted as being “abridged” may be used to meet the general 100+ page book requirement as long as they are at least 2 hours in length. Abridged audiobooks may NOT be used for tasks with defined longer page requirements as there are no direct print equivalents.

no problem. It's always a little trickier with the BB/GRA lists, because I have to type each name in every time - so I have to try to be careful to type it exactly the same, and that doesn't always happen - especially with putting in a space or running names together!

That's why I really appreciate it that you stay on top of it and let me know when it's wrong - it's SO much easier to fix things quickly!

Ack! I linked to the wrong version! At more than 16 hours, it definitely wasn't the abridged version.

Reposting.

Hey Sandy

In post #864 I claimed 2 goodreads tickets, bringing my total from 12 to 14, but readerboard has me listed as having 13.

Thanks:)

Lauren Dane is not noted as being a GR author.

whoops - she used to be, I did't double check - my bad

Valorie post 966

task 30.9 book 2 Political Thrillers list-

For tasks that require reading a book from a Goodreads listopia list, the book must appear on the list when you access it and the player may not add books to the list to be used for that task.

It appears that you are the only voter for Blood Oath

Does anyone know how an author becomes a goodreads author. Do they pay for the privilege or just join goodreads or what? Just curious re: Dee's post.

They join Goodreads then "claim" their author profile (by clicking a link that will merge their personal account with their author account).

Dee, that's happened to me too!

Thanks Kara. I've always wondered about that because the same thing has happened to me as well. Now I wonder why an author stops being a gr author. What do you think Kara?

although come to think of it, the author I claimed had a blog complaining about pre-release reviews, so I guess I shouldnt' have been surprised that she isn't anymore

Dee wrote: "although come to think of it, the author I claimed had a blog complaining about pre-release reviews, so I guess I shouldnt' have been surprised that she isn't anymore"

I was thinking the same thing. she had that big rant that time, so that's probably why she stopped being on goodreads. she was in a complete uproar over it.

Sandy, I'm missing one Goodreads Author and one Big Book

Goodreads Authors are posts 223, 234, 285, 611 (2 in this one), 695, 795, 859 and 941

I'm sorry to have missed them, Sue, but they're fixed now. Thanks for the helpful info - having your post numbers made it SO much easier to find and fix the problems!
