Thanks so much for your help. I figured out what was wrong. Somehow I missed posting 3 completed tasks.

Thanks."

If you look at it again, you'll see that the problem is just that there's a PeeBee listed once..."


Thanks. I like to have it there for historical purposes so I can check between challenges to see how my stats compare. Didn't see that other PeeBee though.

task 15.9 requires "Please include the cover when you post"

Please repost with the required information

Midu post 1906

task 15.9 Morningstar is an ebook without a print edition. It must be verified for length at ebook verification
When you claim an ebook without a print edition in completed tasks you must include the approval post number or the book's line number in the ebook verification google document

Jennifer OH post 1909

task 30.5 option 6- asks "The number may be written out or in numerical form. Cardinal numbers only, no ordinals (so 3 will work, but 3rd won't)."
Eleventh Grade Burns- Eleventh is an ordinal

task 25.4- You posted that you rolled a 3, but the options were from #2

You are so right. My spreadsheet says 2, so I'm not sure why I put 3. Do I need to repost, or is it okay?

I believe that Lisa Kleypas is listed as a Goodreads author, but this is not indicated on the readerboard. My total, I believe, should be 16.

OK, I've gone through all your posts and it's straight now.

Just an FYI, task numbers don't really help with tracking this down since there's no way to sort the Completed tasks this way.

Thanks, Sandy, for taking the time to look this up for me. I've now learned that I need to make a note of which task was posted in which message # and will be better prepared next time.

No problem. It used to be easier, when we could click on someone's name and pull up all of their SRC posts. GR disabled that feature about 6 months ago, and although they say that they plan to put it back, I'm a little dubious...................

The link you provided for Lover Unleashed has fewer than 500 pages.

ARGH! So very very close to not being a problem child. Sorry!

I read the paperback but linked to the hardback. Lover Unleashed is the paperback. Do you want me to repost?

I got this and posted the missing book (5 points).

You'd need to repost if you want to bother - but BB tickets are not of any use to anyone who finishes the challenge, so it seems pointless - effort for the mods with no benefit to you.

Dang, I was hoping to avoid the wall of shame. I can move it to the Black Friday option.

I've merged the two - thanks for pointing that out. I went back and looked at my records - the reason I have you with 8 is because you posted a book by Jim Butcher in #1970 and I guess I just hallucinated your claiming a GRA ticket for him (he comes up so often that I don't need to check him any more!). I can delete it if you'd like, but then you'd probably want to repost to claim the GRA ticket for him and that would make more work for both of us!

Ems(Ems Reviews Books) post 2106
Victoria Connelly is not noted as being a GR author.

Whoops...didn't mean to include her! Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks, Sandy! You can leave it how you have it. I missed Jim Butcher being a GR author or else I would have claimed him. :)

ok thanks i was trying to find the one I was missing. I had all the covers chosen and for some reason they didn't post. i will repost for 5.2 and the covers.

Wow, I totally missed that! Thank you! My first roll was a 6 (and I just now rolled again just in case anyone thought I should start over and still got a 6) - both books can fit for that option, so I'll repost in a second.

RC-Cola post 2213
If you are claiming GRA tickets, you must indicate that specifically in your post for each author claimed. A summary number at the bottom of your post is not enough. If you are claiming GR authors for this post, you need to repost, indicating specifically that you are claiming GRA tickets and for which authors.

post 2277 - I just corrected my Jordan Sonnenblick book (I actually listed a book, Notes from the Midnight Driver, which I had already claimed for another task, by mistake - just caught it today and replaced it with the right title, Curveball: The Year I Lost My Grip)

A close shave!! Reposted in 2303 just in case.

It was Curveball when I got to it- so it looked OK, but thanks for the repost- it's always safer. I have you recorded as finisher 21
