That was the post with the typo (15.4 for 15.5). House Rules (500+) will be in the next update.
I have both Big Book Tickets and Good read authors, I'm on vacation, when I get home with better Internet service, I'll list them.
Cindy wrote: "I have both Big Book Tickets and Good read authors, I'm on vacation, when I get home with better Internet service, I'll list them."Did you post them before or after post 851?
Readerboard is updated through post 1628 MIDWAY POINT(We will only able to post it in the TASK HELP thread.)
Fall Challenge Group Reads Nominations
The Rules: "The people whose books are actually chosen for the official group reads task will not be eligible to pick books for this task again and people will not be allowed to pick a book 2 challenges in a row."
Who picked the books we're reading now?
Who picked books in the last challenge?

I know I helped picked the group reads the last challenge.
Thank you for getting through these! I should have a Goodreads Author ticket for Heather Barbieri in my post of 747. I'm not sure where you started logging these for the above list, so maybe it's on Cynthia's spreadsheet.
My score is actually incorrect. In the original readerboard, I was Rebecca. Now I guess I am Rebecca NJ. I have completed the following tasks:5.1 5.3, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 10.2, 10.3, 10.7, 10.10, 20.4, 30.5 = 125 points. However, I had to repost 30.5 which should still give me a total of 95 points. In case you need to go back and check, my first post was #259.
I know you have a lot of things to sort through so I hope this helps.
Rebecca NJ
I nominated group reads for the last challenge.
I nominated Group Reads for this Challenge. I can't remember, though, whether one of my suggestions was The Book Thief or People Of The Book. Both were high on my TBR list. I could have nominated either one at that time.
just to really confuse the issue, I didn't nominate group reads for this challenge, but I did for the previous challenge. None of my nominations were selected for that challenge, but I think one of them was The Book Thief.
Petra wrote: "I nominated Group Reads for this Challenge. I can't remember, though, whether one of my suggestions was The Book Thief or People Of The Book. Both were high on my TBR list. I could have nominated..."
I made the nomination of books about books and chose
People of the Book, so The Book Thief must belong to you.
I nominated but my book wasn't chosen. Thanks.
Hey guys, thanks for all your hard work, I can only imagine the time, effort and frustration that goes into keeping up with all this. . I hate to whine, complain, bitch whatever you want to call it BUT.... You have me listed as only having 280 points by post 1628 and I actually had 450(480, but had to repost a task). I know it doesn't put me anywhere near the top readers, but I would like to see my name where it belongs. If you need me to I can post a recap of all books and tasks I have completed.
I also have a 500 page big book ticket and a 1000 page big book ticket and a total of 4 GoodRead Authors.
Thanks for helping with this.

I don't know how PJ wants to handle this, but I think I see what the problem was.
It looks as if you may have been listed on the readerboard before we got involved as "Beth US." Your email address on your posts just says "Beth," and there were two Beths listed on the readerboard. Your profile shows you as being from NC and usually state initials were used to distinguish people, rather than "US" if a state was provided in the profile. Looks as if there are now two listings on the readerboard, 1 for Beth US and 1 for Beth NC. I'm guessing that both refer to you, and they need to be merged.
This just points out the problem we've had with this, where people's email names don't match up with readerboard names, so there's a lot of detective work involved in trying to match things up. Probably Cynthia knew somehow who was who (maybe from pictures?) but PJ and I didn't.

What can I do to get rid of my clone and merge me into me?????? LOL
Sandy wrote: This just points out the problem we've had with this, where people's email names don't match up with readerboard names... I think this is probably what also happened with me - see message 15.
Belinda wrote: "I made the nomination of books about books and chose People of the Book, so The Book Thief must belong to you. ..."
Did we only nominate for one book? I thought it was one book for each of the catagories? My memory has failed me before, though.
Anyways, I don't mind being marked down as having nominated The Book Thief and bowing out of future nominations. It's probably true.
I nominated books for the present group reads, but my book was not chosen.
Not sure if this helps but this is the email from Cynthia regarding the group reads for the Summer challenge:This message is to let you know that you were one of the 30 people who have been selected to choose books that will comprise the polls for next seasons Group Reads task . The 3 categories for next season are…Mystery, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and Books about Books. Please select one book for each of these categories and send your choices back to me (PLEASE HAVE TITLE AND AUTHOR). Please indicate in your message which book would be your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice. I will then choose 10 books for each of the categories that the group will vote on for next season. I’ll try to give as many people their first choice if I can and then go in order of position on the board to fill the slots. If you have any questions send me a message and I’ll answer it as best as I can.
FOR EXAMPLE
Mystery – The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce, #1) by Alan Bradley – 2nd Choice
Sci-Fi/Fantasy – The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide, #1) by Douglas Adams – 1st Choice
Books about Books – Inkheart by Cornelia Funke – 3rd Choice

Ah ha, I did not nominate for this challenge then. . . it was the one before last (but wasn't chosen). Thanks for resending.

Becasue I nominated one of the categories, I only chose a book for that category.
I'll work on fixing scores for REBECCA NJ, CATHY NJ and BETH NC (it'll take a while, though).I'll email CINDY AL to hold off on creating the 50 point task.
Beth, it's not whining. I appreciate your checking the Readerboard and letting us know there are problems.

We're not re-doing those yet, but will if Cynthia's not back by late August.
I really hope she's back SOON!
PJ, is it easier for you if I post tasks as I finish or just lump them together in a single post later?

Thanks for sending Cynthia's message.
To make this easier for Sandy and me, my idea is to ask 10 people for nominations (1st, 2nd, 3rd choice) for 1 category.
Sandy and I are still in the planning stage, though.
BETH NC (US) score = 440Your posts are very easy to work with -- thanks!
ETA: Readerboard will be updated tonight.
REBECCA NJ score = 95ETA: Readerboard will be updated tonight.
And PJreads - I've just been Rebecca on the readerboard in the past.
We need to distinguish between the 2 Rebeccas on the Readerboard.
Please post tasks in numerical order -- not like this (I missed 10.7 and 10.10).

If it is between Cindy and myself as far as the 50 point task, go ahead and let her do it. I don't want to take it away from her. I know she has already put a lot of thought into it.
thanks again for all your hard work and hair-pulling I know you have been doing. On top of reading all your books for your part in the challenge.

I already emailed CINDY AL so I'll wait until tomorrow to see if there are more discrepancies.
Readerboard will be updated tonight.
CATHY NJ score = 50For task 20.6 see post 126 in http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/369500-completed-task-posts-with-questions-problems?page=3
CATHY NJ - post 1440
I just completed "One Good Dog" by Susan Wilson. I read this book for task: 20.6 - Supporting Goodreads Authors - Nicole CA's Task - List Maker
Task 20.6 requires "and tell us whether it is a must-read or not and why."
You will need to do a new post for this task.

-books have links and white space around them
-your notes about "extra" requirements are complete and easy to find
-you have a unique name
It's a toss-up in the end. Posts with more than one book save finding your name more than once in the spreadsheet*, but require checking that all tasks are accounted for.
Sandy may have some preferences.
Maybe, one post per page would help?
*I do use excel's filter function, but it takes clicks and time.
We need to distinguish between the 2 Rebeccas on the Reader..."I understand - it's more for when Cynthia comes back, she's going to have to try to figure out the "new" readerboard names we've now been assigned. Since my first challenge, Cynthia has always had me as Rebecca. The other Rebecca was Rebecca MA.

All right! I'll wait until I've finished my current task until claiming points...so maybe I'll post in a few hours? lol
Thanks again for everything you and Sandy are doing. You're both amazing!

I have a column in the spreadsheet with scores through post 851 which I think will show Cynthia how any name changes in my list relate to hers.
Wow, what a lot of work you all are doing. Great job. Not that I am a HUGE participant, but I do enjoy my little participation, and seeing what people are reading for the tasks. Thanks so much for keeping this going.
pjreads/sandy - post 1655 I have 385 points listed as my total, but you are only reflected 345, but I have not seen any post on the tasks with issues thread related to any of my posts.

Just curious, in trying to figure out who has the top score for the 50 pt challenge are you counting the tasks people may have needed to repost or do we lose those if not reposted before the halfway mark? Since I'm the one under Cindy I thought I would double check.

Do we know when the readerboard will be updated and corrected?
