Hmm, I am reading that rule now and I don't see Middle Grade included. It mentions children and kids. There are references to MG as a Bookfinder category, but that's a different issue.

Any book that has "childrens" or "kids" listed as a genre on its main page MUST be validated in the following manner - etc.

I do see this book has a level of MG+ and I'll be glad to repost with that, but I'd like to know what I am missing from the rules page. Thanks!

Apologies, I linked to an outdated version of the rules thread. The current rules thread does have the provision for Middle Grade as an MPG.

Neither of your linked books qualify for Golden Oldies tickets (published in 2017 and 1995 respectively).

I have counted your Big Book ticket for The City of Brass.

Great, thanks for the speedy followup! I am impressed how the Mods can keep track of so many complex rules and details. I will repost with the IL info.

Shanna_redwind | 754 comments Hi
I have a discrepency in my readerboard calculation and was wondering where it was from
I calculated 680 to the end of 2300 and you have me at 655

What I have marked finished:
All 5 tasks 50
All 10 tasks 100
All 15 tasks 150
All 20 tasks 200
6 25 tasks ( not 25.5) 150
30.1 30
Total 680

Can you tell me if there is anything I should repost? Thanks for all the work you do with this.

Apologies, I managed to miss your claim for 25.3. It's fixed now and should show correctly in the next Readerboard update.

Task 30.3 Option 3A - your book must share a title word with that of a TV show from Lucy Liu's TV filmography. "Icing on the Cake" is the title of an episode, not the show itself, and therefore Black Cake does not work for this task.

Where a task requires multiple parts, please include all parts of the task in the same post.

As there's technically nothing in the rules about this (although I'm sure something will swiftly be added!) I will process your posts, but please bear this in mind for future challenges.

I have post 2390 (task 30.1) recorded for you, but my records are missing 30.2 - let me quickly check that for you.

Edit: found it! Sorry about that, I'll get the Readerboard updated now. Congratulations on completing the challenge!

I'm done for the Summer, but thought I'd do a last check on my totals.

I appreciate the bonus, but my Golden Oldies total now differs from my records. I have only 4 posted in my records, but the Readerboard says 5. I'm not sure where that one came from.

Sarah | 1804 comments Sarah E

It’s very generous, but I seem to have 5 points more than I should have on the Readerboard. I make it 765 and the Readerboard has me at 770.

I don’t know if it’s a typo or I’ve accidentally been credited with someone else’s points. The only 5 point tasks I didn’t do were the elephant one and 5.10, if that helps find the culprit.

Congratulations, though, on surviving your first season as the reviewing Mod! I cannot imagine how much of a time commitment it must be, and thank you for doing it!
