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. Please check your math first!
2. 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.
3. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and the POSTING REQUIREMENTS.

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

Welcome, Rudy- you will need to set up a Readerboard Name . That will get you added into our records and onto the Readerboard.

Please repost after that is done
Thanks

Nick KY here.

Okay, I just noticed a mistake with my first post (#61). I guess I made it too late in the day. Is it tiredness or is it age? Or both?

5.1 clearly states that the words "confessions of" need to be in the title, not just the word "confession." I goofed.

I will amend.

Thanks for catching that before I had to

Hey, Dlmrose, does the fact that Nicky KY found and reported his own error keep him off the Wall of Shame for the Moderator's Pet?

Yes, it does! There's "no shame" if you catch your mistake before I have to post it here. It is helpful if you edit, NOT delete the original post with the error to add "corrected below in post #" or a similar statement. Do NOT correct the original post- you don't know where I might be up to. I do review the thread in small increments- especially with the GR capacity problem.

task 30.11 requires "Pick two (2) options from the following list: one “singer” and one “song.” The two options can be from the same or different songs. " You claimed 1A and 3A both "singer" options
In addition, I don't see the connection for 1A- a title in which a symbol has been substituted for a letter. Was that the correct option?

I think I got missed. I didn't see my name on the fall readerboard. Post 110

Readerboard Name - DIANA S

Option 2 London by Edward Rutherfurd – Read a book with the name of a real-life place ?? series titles (New York) won't work
Maybe option 6- Three Junes by Julia Glass – Read a book with a number in the title?
