Thank you

I like that idea - thanks for suggesting it! I'm going to add 31 and 14 to the approved series #s.

Of course. You really don't need to get pre-approval for books that clearly and unambiguously fit the task.

I wasn't sure on this one Sandy, which is why I asked x

Hello! Is listening to an unabridged version of a book on cd ok for this one? I just finished Outlander book 1 and would love to include it somewhere...thanks!!!

You can use unabridged audiobooks for any task. It's the position of the book in the series that matters, not what format or edition you choose. See the FAQs.

The main time when this comes into play is if there's a page requirement - then you need to use the rules to determine the page length.

Awesome, thank you!!! I just wanted to double check :-)

Hi Sandy,
I was wondering if a trade comic like Loki: Agent of Asgard, Vol. 1: Trust Me would work for this task? This is the first trade volume but it collects comics issues 1-5, so it's not straightforward to me. I've never tried to use something like this for a "series number" task. Thanks! :)

Sorry, doesn't fit, because it's not one of the specified numbers in a series, but is 1-5.

Thanks, Sandy, no worries. It was more a question out of curiosity (since I'm not close to finishing) and I wondered how the comics trades worked when looking at series numbers. :)
