task 30.7 option 4 requires ""Put the author of your first book into the Literature Map." Since Kristine Mason was the author of your first book, you need to use that author not Nora Roberts

Please correct your total for GRAs - you have 2 posted, and that should be your total for challenge as well. No need to repost - just letting you know so your totals will be correct.

Please include the task number in your post.
No need to repost, there was enough information to figure it out this time."
Sorry, I got distracted. I'll be more careful in the future

I have no idea what craziness I was thinking!! I will fix 25.6 and find some new books for 30.7. Apparently literature map doesn't even know the author of the book I chose. I totally wrote down the task wrong on my spreadsheet! One of these times I'll not show up on the naughty list.

I can provide you a list of the posts if you need it. :-)
Thanks for all your hard work.

Also, after you have a readerboard name and repost, please note that each GRA for whom you are claiming tickets must be specifically claimed - a summary total at the end of your post is not sufficient.

Your summary totals at the bottom of the post show 4 GR authors - but you haven't claimed any authors specifically as GR authors. It is not enough to include them in a summary total - you must specifically claim a GR author ticket for any GR author.
The same is also true for BB tickets - they must be specifically claimed.

Thank you so much for the time that you spend.

Sorry about that. Reposted :)

I noticed in the readerboard that you have me credited with 7 ŷ Authors. But as per post 77 in this thread I had to repost a task (sorry forgot to mark that it was a repost). I think that I got credit for that author twice. I double checked my spreadsheet and as of post 650 I only have 6.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please check your GR author total - I show you with 3. Marissa Meyer in 644, and Carol Karr and Amy Stewart in this post.
No need to repost - this is to keep the total synchronized.

Task 20.8 requires that your book be at least 225 pages. Frindle has only 105 pages.
(It also has genre Children on the main page and has less than 300 pages. It may not be used for tasks above 15 points. See rule 5.)
Please report tasks in task number order. See Posting Requirements

Holy moly. That is what I get for rushing. I am so sorry. I've fixed it and reposted. Thank you for all your hard work. :-)

Although your total shows 4 GR authors, you do not seem to have claimed any GR authors. Please note that GRA author (and Big Book) claims must be specifically claimed in your post - a total at the bottom won't do the trick.

It sure is. Just checking to see if you're awake. ;)

You will need to repost if you want to claim this. Be sure to only repost the relevant task, and to note that it is a repost to claim a GRA.

I think your math went astray in post 678- your total was 195 in post 648, plus 20.4 in 678- your total should have been 215, not 205.
I haven't reviewed your last post yet, but 215 + 55 would be 270
Does that help?

I'm pretty sure my Big Books Tickets should be at 3 (not 2) on the Readerboard list through 700 (for Elizabeth P). My posts for these were 93, 576, and 639. Would you mind checking for me just to be sure? Thank you!!

FYI If you listen to an audio edition use the mass market paperback edition to determine page numbers. Use the paperback edition only if there is no MMP edition.
No need to repost"
sorry- i used whatever popped up first...will it specifically say mass market on the page?
