The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

Questions or problems with completed task posts will be posted here.

If you have questions about your points on the Readerboard:

1. Make sure that the Readerboard has been updated through the post that you are concerned about.
2. Please check your math.
3. Check to see if one of your posts is listed in this thread with a question. If so, please make a NEW POST in the Completed tasks thread to clear up the question. DO NOT go back and edit the original post. I will not go backwards in the completed task thread to pick up points.
4. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and The Rules of the Challenge.

Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.

Julia - post #38 & #39
Please remember to include your readerboard name & a link to the edition of the book you read
(You have named the book but not included the link)

Hi! The Readerboard has my point total at 10, but I think it should be 20. I posted two five point tasks (post 2 and post 15) and one ten point task (post 27). I don't see any messages here about problems with my posts, but please let me know if I messed something up!

I did just notice that I didn't include my readerboard name in post 2, but that would make my total 15 still, not 10. I've confused myself at this point!

That's the problem! I had attributed your post #2 to "Jessica" not "Bookwrm526" - I'll get that sorted today ...

Delicious Dee - post #78
The task clearly states that the book must be written under a pseudonym - the book you have linked is written under the author's real name which does not work for this task (the fact that they also write under a pseudonym is not what this task requires)

Hey mod team! I think my Golden Oldies claim in post #79 was missed (I can't see it in the Readerboard). Thanks :)

welp i misread that - thankfully I have one of her pseudonym on my pile to use instead

My apologies I did miss that - it will be corrected in the next update

Morning.

I know you've all got a lot on right now, but when you get a mo, I don't seem to have got my GO ticket for message #85: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Thanks.

I'd already spotted that one & will update the readerboard shortly!

I have credited this to 30.1 - but you actually state 30.5 in the post (just want you to make sure your own records are correct!)

oops, thanks!

I posted in the Question/Problem thread dedicated to the Winter Season on March 1st that I was missing points. It appears that thread is no longer being moderated as my question was not answered or resolved. Hopefully I provided enough information in that thread that my points could get added to my final total for last season. Let me know if you need more information from me. Thanks!

We have been incredibly busy getting the current season's tasks sorted, but your issue has been resolved. Sorry for the delays

Oops, I started off well (XBM). Do you need me to repost them?

Yes please
Sorry to ask you to do it again, but it helps the moderators keep everything straight during the review process!

I've reposted - they are 223, 224, and 225. But my most up to date post with the correct total is 177.

Those are all logged now & I think your total should be correct on the readerboard.

Barbara ★ post #251
25.2 - Option 2 requires a book with MPG Sports AND Children* or Middle Grade* or Young Adult or New Adult

Your book doesn't have MPG of Sports

morning! not a major issue, but possibly one of my posts has been missed - post 219 for task 30.6?
I'd expect to be on 115 points by now :D


ETA: latest update sees my records matching yours, so no worries!

Your golden oldie has been ok'd - it will show on the next update

I had requested you to correct my IAF entries I still do not see that the book from post 413 been added?? Is there a problem with it?

Sincere apologies for the delay updating the readerboard - some illness in the Mod team has delayed verification slightly. All should be up to date by the end of tomorrow

Thanks Lucy, hope everyone feeling better

Robin P Post #582
Please check your maths - I have you on 210pts in post 518, then + 20pts in #582 gets you to 230 not 250 ...

Thanks for catching this, I have down a different 20 point task at Msg 519, but apparently GR swallowed it. I will repost that one.

B) read a book with a word that ends in a double vowel

the word TEA ends in two vowels but not a "double vowel" which is two of the same vowel (eg thrEE)

Did the notifications for this go out?

I got an email about it the other day

Thanks for responding.

I did not get one. I thought I qualified, but I'll read the standards again.

This is correct. :)

To the Mods ....

I've made a goof and used a book twice. Once in post #551 and again in post #1309.

I would like to replace the book in post #551 with another title.

The Sunday Philosophy Club by Alexander McCall Smith
Read ~ 4.26.24
Requirement ~ Tineye: blue (91.1%), gray (4.8%), violet (4%)


I apologize for this. I've been laid up for a week with an old back injury and the drugs that I'm taking for pain have made me a little fuzzy, which leads to goofs.

Thanks for owning up to your mistake - and we hope you feel better soon, or at least are able to function a little less fuzzily with the pain meds!

Amanda Post #1460
Please include your readerboard name with your post - we have several Amanda's participating in the challenge ...

i think my readerboard is wrong - here's what i'm tracking - i failed to be able to add at post 1430.

post 1430 - 510pts
post 1431 - 535pts
post 1541 - 545pts
post 1548 - 570pts

right now i have 560 listed - or did i fail meth elsewherE?

the readerboard is only current to 1515, so your last two posts wouldn't be included anyway. but that does still leave you adrift somewhere. I usually double check my posts (hover over your image to see comment history), which can help track errors in my records

Dee - I've looked into this and I think the maths went a bit wrong around post 1035!
In #1026 you had 340pts which tallies with my master sheet
In #1035 you list 330pts but actually you should have 340+15 here for 355
In #1044 you claim 25pts but again add it to the 320 error from above not the correct 355 - you should have 380 at this point ...

Then you have:
#1053 25.9 380 + 25 = 405
#1078 20.10 405 + 20 = 425
#1091 10.6 425 + 10 = 435
#1153 15.8 435 + 15 = 450
#1174 25.13 450 + 25 = 475
#1321 20.7 475 + 20 = 495
#1322 25.5 495 + 25 = 520
#1430 15.3 520 + 15 = 535
#1431 25.1 535 + 25 = 560

(The readerboard will be updated shortly to include the last 2 posts that you have added ... )

Lora - Please check your maths ... I think you have 455 points but you are only showing 365!

I think there is an error at #639 (you only added 15 not 25), again in #773 where you only added 10 not 20pts & in #1025 where you don't seem to have added any points on ...
