Task 20.7, option B requires that you include a link to the post in the previous challenge where you claimed points for task you're redoing. This link is the time/date stamp in the upper right corner of the post. Please repost this task with the required information.

There is no need to repost the other task in this post. It has been recorded.

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11182 comments Leslie K - post 1121

Task 30.1, option 1 the book(s) you choose for this option should be by an author you discovered in 2013 and are already acquainted with, not a new-to-you author.

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11182 comments Jasmine - post 1143

Task 25.2 requires that each book be at least 250 pages. The Unwanted Wife does not appear to be long enough, though the paperback edition has no page numbers and I can't find any evidence of a paperback edition outside of GRs. If a paperback edition of the book does not exist, this book cannot be used regardless of length as ebooks without print versions cannot be used for tasks requiring a specific number of pages.

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11182 comments TMBookluvr - post 1153

I assume you're claiming Fear Nothing by Dean Koontz for task 15.10 rather than 15.1 as 15.1 is a two book task. If this assumption is correct, there's no need to do anything. If it is incorrect, please let me know.

I thought as a liberian I could have a look and complete the page count for the paperback, but the expected publishing date for the paperback is March 2014, and that is the reason there is no number of pages for this, as the publisher (which is Amazon itself) has not given any till now.

Here is the Amazon link to the paperback:

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11182 comments Ana - post 20.2

Task 20.2 has 4 options. You didn't tell me which option you were doing but since the book you chose has a butterfly on the cover, I'm assuming it was option 4. If this is incorrect, please let me know. Otherwise, there's no need to repost.

Task 5.1 - Gamble Everything appears to be an ebook with no print version. First check to see if the book is on our approved . If it has not yet been approved for length, you should ask for approval by posting in the ebook page verification thread: eBook verification thread.

Yeah, that's kinda what excites me about it though. Of course it'd made deciding what to read next impossible. In trying to maximize the books read across all challenges I spend more time deciding than reading. ;)

Sorry, just seeing this now. I don't have a book to replace the original 30.1 option 1 book with right now. So I guess I'll just remove 30 points from my total?


message 225: by Kristina Simon (new)

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11182 comments Kristi wrote: "So I guess I'll just remove 30 points from my total?"

Yes, that'll work until you read the second book for 30.1 or decide to move the remaining book to a different task.

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11182 comments Barbara � - post 1213

Task 25.5 requires the singular form of a noun in the title of one book and the plural form of the same noun in the second book. Highlander's is the possessive form of Highlander, not the plural form.

Task 30.4 - Hearts of Smoke and Steam has the genre "Comics" on it's main page. According to Rule #6, books with the genres: Sequential Art, Comics, Comic Book, or Manga on their main page may only be used for 5, 10, and 15 point tasks.

Task 30.7 requires you to indicate in your post which author(s) are new to you. Please repost this task with the required information.

Ok, I understand why it doesn't work and I have a switch figured out. Paris was the Place is going to a 2 book task so I'll just adjust my total for now.
