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.

The book you linked to does not have a page count to verify. Please either link to any English edition that has a qualifying page count or have a librarian add a page count to your edition and repost.

Trish post 10

Please repost with your Readerboard name. Everything else looked good.

Drat. I was trying so hard to the new book bit right that I missed something really obvious. After not ending up on the naughty list for ages, I've done it two seasons running now. Ho hum.

Here you go. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Cheaper by the Dozen has a MPG of Childrens.

Please review the rules for books with the main page genre childrens or kids, or have the book verified in the Not Really For Kids thread.

Aarghh!
It didn't occur to me that this would be considered a children's book. But luckily it is on AR Bookfinder and does meet the SRC criteria.

I was looking for the new rules, so I went to THE RULES and started with the first section, Posting Requirements: Effective Fall 2023.

#3You MUST include a link to the book edition you read and the link must be included along with the specific task posting information

I'd like to confirm that this is one of the rules changes for this season. For task 30.7 which has a minimum 501 pages requirement, if I listen to this audiobook The Grump and The Runaway Bride: A Sweet Small Town Enemies to Lovers Romance, I can post only this ebook The Grump and The Runaway Bride which has 193 pages (and I would need to post the other option book info as well)

Sorry, that section is late getting updated as we are trying to get the tasks posted. You are not required to link to the edition you read, just the one that you are using to show the book qualifies. So you can just post the ebook edition that shows the page count, you dont need to also include the audio version. The task requirements still need to be posted.

Does that answer your question?

Yes! THanks so much.

The requirements for 10.2 require " The full window must be visible" while the cover only shows a portion of the window.

I posted three 10 point tasks in posts 47, 48 and 49, and I don't see any of them in the Problems thread here. I only have credit for 20 points, so one of them may have been missed.
Thank you for checking.

Thanks for catching that! I must have gotten distracted between verifying the book for 49 and posting it to your credit. It will be fixed on the next update.

Thank you

The audiobook link you used does not show the length of the book at all. If you read audiobooks, please use or include a link where a qualifying page count is listed. Please repost with a link to any English edition that has a qualifying page count.

Per posting requirements, task claims must include a short description of the task.

Also, don't forget to use your Readerboard name on all posts, including the discussion thread.

MaryPDX post 211

Task Number 5.5 Summer Solstice I am not sure which task you are doing. This season's 5.5 is 5.5 Dwali.

It looks like there was a glitch when you were trying to post, because there isn't a book linked.

It looks like one of my 10 point tasks was missed possibly. My records show I should be at 70 points. Thanks for looking into this.

Thanks for the heads up. I did miss 10.7, which will be corrected on the next update. But check your records, post 284 I have you down for 5.6, not 5.5. (If you keep track of your post numbers they will probably be off by one, as someone deleted their post.)

Sorry! I don't know what I was doing either. I think I'm a little sleep deprived! I'll find another task to fit that book and will double check I'm looking at the right challenge.

I linked the wrong one. Will repost later. Sorry.

Option 1:
You must state that the author was new to you.

Option 4:
Because the book you are referencing has not yet been published, there is no way for me to verify the months are the same. Books are not always published when they expect to be.

RedSycamore post 416

Book 2: Please link to an edition of the book that either indicates the length (in hours) or any equivalent edition with page numbers.

Susan A post 419

Two things - the link edition doesn't have a lighted candle that I could see on the cover. Also it is an audiobook with no length in hours indicated.

I reposted a mass market paperback edition - page count and candles more visible. Sorry for the error.

10.8 - The audiobook link you used does not show the length of the book at all. If you read audiobooks, please use or include a link where a qualifying page count or the length in hours is listed. Please repost with a link to any English edition that has a qualifying page count.

Also, I just noticed that our specials' count didn't agree. It was my error, on post 83 I credited you with a BB ticket, it should have been a GO. I have corrected that in my records, and that should be fixed on the next update.

Kim O post 477

20.5 requires you to read a book that is at least 350 pages. Your book had 255 pages.

TessaVanessa post 512

Please repost with the task requirement for 25.4, so I can tell how your claimed book fits. Thanks.

DO you want to delete post 551 before anyone else posts? It's not a completion post.

Hi! I think my most recent 20 point task might have been missed? I have down 185 by post 550, and I didn't see any other problems posted here.

I believe the tasks below were claimed since the last update:
10.5 - post 526
20.7 - post 527

Thanks for looking into this and for all that you do!
