Hey Mods, sorry I didn't catch this ages ago, but I was checking my goodreads' author total and Naomi Wolf wasn't counted. I claimed her book The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women in post 615, page 13. When you get a chance to investigate... :)

Many thanks!

Sorry - will do numerical order from now on. When I search for the book when I click the link, I see it pop up. Not sure if I'm doing it wrong, i.e. not the right shelf or something.

Searching for the book displays members in the group that have read that book- it does not result in books on the group shelf. You will need to choose from the 48 books on the shelf.

Hi Sandy,
I can't find the edition I read so will just stick with this one and claim 2 BB tickets. Do I need to repost? Thanks.

No need. I already gave you the 2 tickets, based on the edition you linked to.

Barbara★ post 1770
The edition of Germ that you linked to has only 490 pages. If you read an edition with >500 pages, please repost with the correct link.

Sandy, my counts for the BB Ticket and the GR authors don't match yours.

BB:
Post 267 - Hero of Ages - 500+ - 1 BB
Post 735 - Kushiel's Dart - 750+ - 2 BB
Post 905 - Feed - 500+ - 1 BB
Post 1327 - Tigana - 750+ - 2 BB
Post 1742 - Elantris - 500+ - 1 BB
Grave Mercy - 500+ - 1 BB
Total: 8 BB

I double checked and I've linked to the correct versions in the post.

Also the GRA tally for me is 34. I think you counted the GRA ticket for Ben Aaronovitch for edited task post in #1743. It's already counted. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for checking. Let me know if I made a mistake.

Marty post 1760

task 25.4 asks "roll 1 die and choose 2 different options from the number rolled. "
The options you claimed were from 2 different numbers.

Found and fixed - somehow I missed Feed - one of my favorite books! And thanks for pointing out the double for Aaronovitch.

Your post was VERY helpful - all that info made it super easy for me to check. Thanks so much!

Richard Peck is not a GR author. The illustrator of the book is listed as a GR author, but folks like illustrators, translators, etc. do not qualify for GRA tickets.

Great. I kept going over trying to see if I got something wrong. Thanks, Sandy! I'm glad the post was helpful for you :)

Oops didn't think to check that. I reposted with the correct edition. post #1815

Can you recheck my points? I come up with 780 and you only have 760.

5 pointers = 30
10 pointers = 70
15 pointers = 120

30 pointers = 240

Looks liked I'm missing 20 points somewhere. Thanks Sandy.

Please check your total. Your total went astray on Nov 4 (you were down 30 points) then your addition may have been off on your Nov 8 post (75 points vs 70) I have recorded 755

CathyG post 1823

Task 20.7 requires only one option. You may move one of your books to another task if you choose.

Please let me know here the book you want to use to 20.7

Thanks Sandy...I realized that and *thought* I deleted that GRA ticket from my personal posting records before I copied/pasted/posted it here LOL but me and GR have been having some issues LOL when I try to edit or post...I keep getting error messages. Do I need to re-post that post or just make sure my personal records are corrected?

I think there was a typo with my Goodreads authors...I ended with 33, not 3.

Thanks.

Just correct your own records.

Peebee wrote: "I think there was a typo with my Goodreads authors...I ended with 33, not 3.

Thanks."

If you look at it again, you'll see that the problem is just that there's a PeeBee listed once and a Peebee listed once - they add up to 31 through post 1800. I'll merge them the next time I work on the spreadsheet. Of course, it doesn't really matter , since GRA and BB tickets are irrelevant for anyone who finishes the challenge!
