Please review the rules for books with the main page genre childrens or kids. Books Formats #4.

Sorry about that. I saw this as a YA book, didn't see the Childrens designation.

From AR Bookfinder:
��
The Golden Compass
Pullman, Philip
AR Quiz No. 15085 EN Fiction
��IL: UG - BL: 7.1 - AR Pts: 19.0
��AR Quiz Types: RP, VP
��Rating:
Accompanied by her daemon, Lyra Belacqua sets out to prevent her best friend and other kidnapped children from becoming the subjects of gruesome experiments in the Far North. The plot contains descriptions of children's deaths.

Per SRC Rules: "Books that have an IL designation of MG+ or UG may be used with no restrictions (other than general SRC and specific task requirements)."

So this book should count, I just didn't notate it properly. Again, sorry about that. Do I need to re-post it in Completed Tasks, or does this suffice?

You need to repost with the details

Task 10.6 requires "State in your post that this was a new author for you in 2016" You stated "I have read two of Lauren's other books this year for the Seasonal reading challenge."
You will need to repost and confirm that this was a new author to you in 2016, not that you have read this author in 2016.

Is there going to be a task 20.6?

Patience.

From the season's announcement
The aim is to have all tasks, excepting 50.1, posted by December 7.

Task 30.4
You linked to a Large type edition of A Gentleman in Moscow
From the rules:
Large Type books may be used....Big Book tickets may be claimed for Large Type books if the mass market paperback meets the Big Book requirement. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition.
The non-large-type print edition determined via the method above should be used for tasks requiring page numbers.

The paperback A Gentleman in Moscow has 462 pages and does not meet the 600 pages required for this task.

Task 10.6 Signal Boost appears to be an ebook without a print edition. You must have it approved for length in Ebook page verification in General Help.
Your post must include the line number of the approval in the ebook spreadsheet or a link/post number of the post in which the ebook was approved for length.
Please repost with the required information.

Ok. I've posted for verification. Sorry about that. The first in the series had a print edition and I must have made a poor assumption based on that and not checked.

I found a paperback version on Amazon. Should I repost with a link to the paperback version?

Shanna_redwind wrote: "I found a paperback version on Amazon. Should I repost with a link to the paperback version?"

Shanna, a librarian will need to add it to GR. I am unable to do so as I am traveling and not on my own computer with my links available to me. Perhaps another librarian will see this and be able to help.

Post link - I'll fix it

Bea wrote: "Shanna, a librarian will need to add it to GR. I am unable to do so as I am traveling and not on my own computer with my links available to me. Perhaps another librarian will see this and be able to help. "

I added the Paperback edition: Signal Boost

Shanna, you should be able to repost now with a link to the Paperback edition on GR.

Thanks
