Kelly (kelleenie) | 14 comments I have a quick question! I'm working on 10.3 where the total page number can not contain a 2 or a 0. My book have 388 including the epilogue (386 w/out), none of the editions on goodreads have this page count. they are all 390 or 400.
Will you trust that I am not lying about the pages. The book is Circle at Center for reference.

Dee (austhokie) | 8862 comments kelly - if you post the book info with isbn in the librarian thread, someone should be able to fix it - it may be that the GR file is based off the Amazon database, that is notoriously bad for page counts

Task 20.3 option $50 is a cover task- "Read a book where the cover shows a baby of either gender."

If you read a different edition that does have a baby on the cover please repost this task including the cover.

Task 25.5 option 3 It Must Be Your Love This book does not have a print edition.

If you claim a book in Completed Tasks that exists ONLY in ebook format, you MUST provide a reference to the ebook verification document when you post ex."Approved @ line #" or provide the post number in the ebook verification thread where it was approved ex. "ebook Approved post #"

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.

I actually did claim them in every post. I wrote "GR Author" after every book that counted as well as using the counter at the bottom. See posts 424, 772, and 838. If this is not sufficient I will make it more noticeable in the future

I looked again, and did see (and credit) the earlier ones. The one in 838 was particularly difficult to see, though, because you didn't list any author name and the "GR" was right next to the cover picture.

In future, please give the author name - that will help make your GRA claim more visible.

Task 10.3 - FYI- NOTE: ... If you read an ebook or listen to an audiobook, use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition.
The MMP edition of A Savage Place has 184 pages- it still works, no need to repost
