Sandy, do I put the number of pages in the ebook or the MMP? I am only claiming one BB ticket as my ebook was less than 750 but the MMP is over 800.

You use the number of pages in the MMP - we don't use the ebook page count.

What a goofy mistake I made -- I know I moved that book on purpose to this task, so I was looking back at the list and I think I saw Anne Cameron and made a jump to thinking it was Anne Michaels. Sorry - I'll figure out a replacement if I have time to fit it in.

Hi..."
I completely missed that because this is so absolutely not a children's book (she talks about extra marital affairs, lol!). The problem is that there is a similarly titled but completely different children's book that was put on the same Goodreads main page. It is not in the AR Finder because it isn't a kids' book. I'll submit for verification. Sorry for the issue. Between this an addition error in my first post this season, I have blown ant chance of being Moderator's Pet :/ Apologies and thank you.

Task 15.3 Book 1 requires "a book that has been made into a movie (i.e. theatrical release)." High Noon was a 2009 TV Movie that was not released in theaters.
Book 2 requires "an author who shares a FIRST or LAST name with one of these 100 All-time top grossing movie actors " Julie James does not share a last name with James Earl Jones- stated in post 3- first names need to match first names, last names need to match last names- last names are names in the last position

Oh it was another version which had it down as a fantasy. Never mind I'll just use it in place of 2001 as it has a number in the title as well.
