RedSycamore - IAF off

Check your records for IAF tickets. In post 1690 you started with 10 IAFs, added 1. Your next post was 1693, where you show having 12 IAFs. I believe you should have 11, but let me know if you see otherwise.

As we approach the homestretch, I think we're starting to see a little "challenge fatigue". I know I am. So, if everyone could please carefully check their totals against the Readerboard, that would be great.
As a new Moderator, I have to say thanks to everyone who has been patient and careful and made my job easier!
Now let's go read a book.

Group Heads Up

Kathy P - off 5 pts (1623) added 30 on a 25 pt task;
Tien is off 145 pts for problem tasks;
JUKKA off 10 pts - probably added twice,
SHEMAC - off 5 points, 1640 was a 15 pt task, not 10.

30.4 - Option 2: Author whose name contains all the letters of MURALS
Sarah Ready does not meet this requirement. (Maybe you were looking for the initials in the word)

I think my post 1411 was missed - on the readerboard I'm still at 170, which was my total before my post 1411. Here is the link to the post: https://www.goodreads.com/topi..."

Yes, it appears you are right. I had recorded your book and approved the task, but I had not added your points. All fixed now! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

KS Mary post 1560

In multi-option tasks, your post must state which option it is using.

Not a problem, per se, just wanted to let you know that you failed to update your total for this post, so you really have 700 points. Please update your records accordingly.

I have no "Mary" in the Readerboard. Please repost with your Readerboard name.

Robin P post 1525

For your records, post 1525 should have been for task 25.8, not 15.8 as noted. You had the task name correct, so I was able to credit you with it, but make sure your own records are correct.

Jammin Jenny post 1516

15.1 - Your second book only has 68 pages. Per the minimum page rules, each book must be at least 100 pages, except one book between 80 -99 pages may be used for ONE 5 point task.
