You claimed Snowball in Hell for task 15.3. It appears that the book only exists in ebook/audiobook format, so your post must include length verification from the Ebook verification thread.

You used Choice Words for task 30.5, option 1. That book does not include the main page genre "Language."

Task 20.2, option c is a cover task, and the cover of your book must be included in your post.

JamminJenny post 405

You posted Terrifying Tales for task 20.5. That book appears to only be in ebook form - if you have already had it approved for length in the Ebook Verification thread, please repost, including the post # or line # from the spreadsheet. If not, you will need to get length verification in that thread.

I am assuming that you meant this post to be for task 30.6, since that's the task this would fit. If that's correct, no need to repost, as that is how I've logged it on the spreadsheet.

Yes it is for 30.6. Apologies, I wrote the wrong task title.

Task 15.2 is a 2 book task. Please repost with both of the books required.

To use the one book option for task 15.4, the book must fit both criteria. An Autobiography does not have the main page genre science fiction or fantasy.

Catherine T post 592

Task 10.9 states that the title may contain only two words, and that all words count. The Thief Taker has three words in the title.

I will re-post with the second book. I just forgot to add it. Thanks.

I just realized that I had done option 1 for this task and not option 2 so I have re-posted. I have to pay more attention to how I have my spread sheet set up I guess. I made the same mistake for both tasks!

Donna Jo post 597
Task 5.8 requires "Read an autobiography or memoir- a non-fiction account of the author’s own life or experiences." From the description, The House of Twenty Thousand Books, does not appear to be an account of the author's life, but a biography of his grandparents. If this book is actually an account of Sasha Abramsky's life/experiences, please repost and explain how it fits the task.

Please check your totals - I show you with a total of 110 - 5.8, 10.4, 10.7, 10.9, 15.1, 15.2, 15.4, 30.4.

No need to repost - just want to keep our totals synched.

Argh! read it as "at least two words" soz

Papermaker post 640

Your post referred to task 5.10, but gave the title of task 5.4. You posted a different book for 5.4 on March 13. The book Speakers of the Dead: A Walt Whitman Mystery would not work for 5.4, because the word "Speakers" ends in "ers," and the task specifically states that plural forms do not work.

Since 5.10 is a free choice task, the book will work for that one, and I assume that's what you intended and where I've logged it in. If that is not what you wanted, please repost, removing the book from 5.10 and assigning it to a different task.

Sandy wrote: "Donna Jo post 597

My goof. I have reposted the book to another task. (That's only the fourth book I've read since March 1 that didn't fit a task--luckily I caught the others before posting. Sorry.

Jayme (the ghostreader) post 647
Task 20.1 requires that the number of words or letters in the title be determined by the number card you drew. A 5 requires either a 5 word title, or a title with a total of 5 letters - Hush Puppy has 2 words and 9 letters, so will not work for a draw of 5.

Hi Sandy,

I just wanted to check on my last post in message 649 if there was a problem. I don't see the points reflected in the readerboard.

Thanks!

Sorry, Hina, it appears to have slipped by me. Found and fixed - it will show up in the next update.

Task 10.9 states that the title may contain only two words, and that all words count. Dengeki Daisy, Vol. 06 has more than 2 words, since "Vol. 06" is part of the title.

Sandy wrote: "Jayme (the ghostreader) post 647"

So if you have a book with a 5 letter word in the title, should it be the only word in the title like if the book is called "Angel" that would work but not "Angel in the Sky". I just need more clarification because puppy is a five letter word in the title.

The task states
"if you draw a number card, this determines the number of letters OR words in the title. Aces are 1.
For example, if you draw a 2, you need a book with a two letter title like Us OR a two word title like Jane Eyre."

Not a title containing a 5 letter word, but a title that is either a total of 5 letters or a total of 5 words.

ok I will find something else.

Best Friends Forever will not work for this task, because it has neither 7 words nor 7 letters in the title.

The task states
"if you draw a number card, this determines the number of letters OR words in the title. Aces are 1.

Not a title containing a 7 letter word, but a title that is either a total of 7 letters or a total of 7 words.

Bone & Bread will not work for 20.5, option 1. There is no ampersand in the target phrase, and an ampersand is not a punctuation mark, so cannot be ignored.

Ava Catherine post 769

Just an FYI - please check your totals. After your previous post, 766, you showed a total of 605 points. You added 55 in this post, for a total of 660.

Hi Sandy, I was going by the rule in the task description that said "only the letters should be considered.." Since all of the letters are in the phrase, can I try and get this book verified in the help thread?

It says that punctuation marks can be ignored - and Catherine has reiterated in the help thread that an ampersand is not a punctuation mark. It's a symbol that substitutes for the word "and."

Task 5.8 requires that you "Read an autobiography or memoir- a non-fiction account of the author’s own life or experiences."

From the GR description, Thinking In Numbers: On Life, Love, Meaning, and Math does not appear to be an account of the author's life, but rather a collection of essays on mathematics. If this is an account of his life, please repost explaining how the book fits the task.

Please note that this is not a task involving a main page genre - the book must fit the task description.
