There are quite a few Jennifers on the Readerboard. You will need to do a new post for this task and include a Readerboard name. Reposts need to include all task requirements: previously posted items and previously omitted items.

sigh...probably both are the result of trying to do this when I'm tired. I'll check both when I get home from work. Sorry!

Task 5.5 requires that the book be published between 1981 and 1986. Ramona Quimby, age 8 by Beverly Cleary: A novel study was published in 1990.
(if you use this for another task, please indicate how many pages it has because that information is not readily available).
For task 30.3B, you listed The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson: A Novel Teaching Pack. This is only 39 pages, so does not meet the 100 page minimum.

No problem, I'll allow for that. In the future, if something like this happens, you can always edit the second post - go in, delete the stuff that's there, then say something like "duplicate deleted." That preserves the post numbers so things don't get goofed up.

This is my first challenge so I may have just done it wrong but my points for my 2nd challenge (message 171) don't seem to be have been added.
Also, I seem to have inadvertently added a Big Book score which I shouldn't have done. Can you just ignore that part please.

Anna- the Readerboard has only been updated through post 156 so your points in message 171 haven't been added in yet.

I'm having great fun with this challenge and am definitely getting hooked.

Tell me about it. This is my eighth or ninth challenge. It is definitely addictive!

Task 30.8 requires that the letters A S I A be in either the title of the book or the author's name for each book used for this task.
Also your post says that you are using "3" for the die roll for each part of the task. The task requires that you use 2 different numbers.

Reposts must include ALL information for the task - the moderators don't keep records of partially completed tasks, so the repost message must include all necessary information about the task.

OK Sandy I missed part of the requirements so I deleted that task and corrected my numbers. And I rolled a 1 for the first number not a 3. Thansk for the heads up

Post #182 does not seem to have been added to my total on the Readerboard.
I should have 45 points: Posts 20(5pts), 61 (20pts), and 182(20pts).
Let me know if there's something I need to fix on my posts.
ETA: I think maybe some of the points are listed on the Readerboard under "JOANNA" instead of "JOANNA T." I don't think the person who has the name "JOANNA" for the readerboard has posted to this challenge yet.

The problem is that the "Joanna T" wasn't originally included in the post, so the points went to the person on the readerboard named "Joanna." While it will help for "historical" purposes that you've gone back and edited the post to include that, I don't routinely go back and look at old posts to see if they've been changed - so it's best if you include the Readerboard designation in the original post.

Task 29.9 requires that you use the last name of a president, not the first."
Oops, I totally misread that. No problem, I can use the book for another task.

That's the nice thing about this sort of slip-up early in a challenge - there are still plenty of open slots!

The Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld won't work for Task 5.9, because there is an "L" in the author's name.

Fixed. Thanks, Jennifer!

Which post did you claim The Lost Symbol in, LIndsey? If it's after post 376, I haven't gotten there yet (although I plan to later tonight). If it's before 376, I missed it. So let me know the post number and I'll go back and pick it up. Thanks!

In bold, at the top of the GRA and BB posts on the Readerboard thread, you'll find the post number I've gotten to. This will tell you whether I've accidently missed your post of if I haven't gotten there yet.

Fixed. Thanks, Jennifer!"
Thanks for the help!

My total shows 460 on my records but 455 on the readerboard. This is what I showed.
Page 9 - Msg 428 - 60 Points Total = 435
Page 10 - Msg 467 - 25 Points Total = 460
This was probably my fault as I edited msg 467 to add the 5 point task into msg 467 this afternoon and you might have already worked on the readerboard past that message. My fault, sorry.
