This thread will open on March 1, 2013.

Questions or problems with completed task posts will be posted here.

If you have questions about your points on the Readerboard:

1. Make sure that the Readerboard has been updated through the post that you are concerned about.
2. Please check your math.
3. Check to see if one of your posts is listed in this thread with a question. If so, please make a NEW POST in the Completed tasks thread to clear up the question. DO NOT go back and edit the original post. I will not go backwards in the completed task thread to pick up points.
4. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and the POSTING REQUIREMENTS.

Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.

ELLEN post 4
There is no "Ellen" (only Ellen CA) on the list of names readerboard - if you have another readerboard name, please re-post including the readerboard name.

There are several participants named Kim in the challenge. Please repost, including your readerboard name.

For the group reads book, you need to post your comments in the discussion thread for the book - Discussion Thread.

Also, although you may read a book that is included in a compilation or omnibus edition of the author's work, your post needs to include a link to the separate book. Please see rule 12 under Book Formats in Rules of the challenge.

Please repost with the required info after you post your comment in the discussion thread. You can copy your comments from the completed task thread and paste them into a new comment in the discussion thread.

No, since this is the group reads, there isn't really an issue of whether it's long enough to count and you certainly don't have to read it again. You do need to link to an individual version of a book, though, any time you read a version that is in a compilation.

task 5.2 requires that you "state the uncommon letter you are using when you post." Please repost with the required info.

No need to repost 5.6 and 10.4.

My readerboard name is Jenn IL and you show me having 15 points on the readerboard. I haven't posted any completed tasks yet for this challenge...so maybe they are supposed to be for someone else?

I think the 15 points posted under Jenn IL is supposed to be under my name. :) I was just trying to figure that out.

Sorry, folks. My spreadsheet obviously thinks it's still on leave and doesn't have to cooperate with me. I found a couple other weird things, too, when I was checking on yours.......... Great!

It should be fixed now.

FYI, your point total is 10 after this post, since you've also posted for task 5.1. No need to repost, just letting you know so you can keep your records straight!

Haha! Thanks. Think I must have been half asleep when I posted it!!

Band Director Terry post 67
Task 15.3 requires that the book be set in Ireland. The Kings of Clonmel appears to be a fantasy novel, and while the fantasy world may be similar to or based on Ireland, it's not Ireland. This book won't work for the task.

Jennifer KS post 78
It's a bad news/good news kind of thing!

The bad news is that "breaker" is not a verb. The good news, tho, is that "deal" is both a noun and a verb, so Deal Breaker still works for 5.4. No need to re-post.

Tracy post 86
You need to include your readerboard name in your post. If you've been away from the challenge for awhile, you need to post in the readerboard name thread, so that Kristi can add you to the readerboard. Please repost with your readerboard name once that is sorted out.

Hello, I saw that my points were correct, but that my big book ticket wasn't posted. Below is the text from my post, just want to make sure I didn't incorrectly post/do something! thanks!

5.6 Hope Springs Eternal -- Lover Enshrined
Claiming 1 big book ticket (534 pages)

I have been into this series for a while, but after the last few books, I was a little disappointed. I have to say, this one was better then the last one I read, but still not great.

5.6 Ho..."

Every post on the readerboard shows the post # through which it has been updated. The BB list has only been updated through post #50. The points readerboard and the GRA/BB lists are done separately, so will not necessarily be updated through the same post number.

Sorry, I assume they were all updated and didn't read it correctly! Thanks, now I will know to look for that!

Tracy post 112

Please see post 20 in this thread - your posts must include a Readerboard name.

Fairlee post 119

The rules of the challenge state that you must provide a link to books claimed in order to get credit for the task. Please repost with the link.

Erin C - post 148

The Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies you've linked to has 494 pages. If your read an edition that has over 500, please repost this task with a note saying you're reposting for a BB ticket and linking to the correct edition. The easiest way to do that is to put the ISBN number of the edition you read into the search box of the add book/author drop down menu.

Fairlee post 160
As Katrina pointed out, your link was not added. Just above the comment box, you'll see the "add book/author" field - click on that and enter the name of your book. When you find the book, click on "add" and the link will be added to your post.

Please do not edit posts to fix problems - we do not go back to old posts. When you want to fix a problem, just do a new post and I'll pick it up when I get to that one.

Coralie post 190
The edition of Save Our Sleep, Revised Edition that you linked to only showed as an ebook - however, I was able to find another edition, not linked to the one you posted, that seems to be the same in paperback.

No need to repost this one, since I was able to verify it and had the time to search around. In general, tho, it's a good idea to check this out and resolve it before posting.

hiya, there seems to be more than one kirsty on the readerboard now. I had my name confirmed when I joined as the only one, not sure what's happened there?

Kirsty wrote: "hiya, there seems to be more than one kirsty on the readerboard now. I had my name confirmed when I joined as the only one, not sure what's happened there?"

I guess I'm missing something, but I only see one Kirsty on the readerboard. Can you give more details of where you see a second Kirsty?

Kirsty, you might be looking at two different lists. One is for points and the other for special tickets. Both should be yours.

Sorry, im being thick lol yes you're right

Sorry Sandy, I tried to link using the ISBN number and it didn't come up at all, so I linked to the correct picture. I actually read it as a paperback.

not a problem, I thought it was peculiar that it would only be ebook, so I looked around.

Cindy AL - post 154

The Clarification of Goodread Author and Big Book Rules states: If more than one Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author appears, as a co-author, in an anthology, or in a collection of short stories, for example, only one ticket will be awarded (one ticket per book).

Please adjust your GRA total to 3.

Karen Oz - post 193

You must specifically state you are claiming a big book ticket rather than just listing page numbers. In this post, for example, you could just add the bit in bold:

Sunrise on the Mediterrannean (Time Travel #3) by Suzanne Frank (GR Author) -564 pages (BB ticket)

I caught it this time, so no need to repost but please add that additional information in future posts.

Kristi CO post 234
The edition of HHhH: A Novel to which you linked is listed as having 330 pages, which doesn't work for the number string listed in the 20.2. If you read a different edition with a different number of pages, please repost, linking to that edition.

Sorry, I guess I looked at the wrong hardcover edition. I'll post the book for a different task.

Meagan post 286
The books you posted for tasks 20.4 and 20.6 have "children" listed as a genre and have fewer than 300 pages. They cannot be used for these tasks under the rules of the challenge effective as of Spring 2013.
Rules of the Challenge

Victoria post 287
Task 15.7 requires that the title contain a possessive noun. Since "it" is a pronoun, this title won't work.

Peebee post 295
for task 15.2, the link you posted is to an audio book. You need to link to the edition you read, with the appropriate number of pages.

I didn't get credit for message 120 for AprilDT

I have checked here and there is no message.

Jonathan Kellerman is not a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author. Please adjust your records.

Thanks for the quicks heads up! Found it, fixed it, and it will show up in the next update.

Thanks Sandy. Now just remember, I'm still a Mod's pet :)

Thanks for catching that! I'm so out of practic, I forgot to double-check. Looks like I did read the shorter one, so I'll just leave the post as is, and take off my BB ticket from my count.

That didn't take long....blew that Mod's Pet status with my very first post!

Grrrr Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ -- I tried to fix that audio book link several times when I posted it to my "Read" books.....I don't know why it won't stick?! I will try to repost, but I guess I may have to dig up the ISBN and do it that way?

ETA: reposted to the correct edition....

Sandra post 333
Task 10.4 requires that you post the cover in your post. Please re-post with the cover.

Erin post 334

For task 25.8, you claimed A Walk in the Snark. This book appears to only exist in e-book form.

The rules of the challenge provide that

Please repost with the required information. No need to repost 25.7 and 30.1.

Nicola post 354
The rules provide that you must include a link to any books claimed. Please repost 10.10 with the required link. No need to repost 15.5.
