This is where you will need to post information about completed tasks - updates to the Readerboard will be based on what is posted HERE AND ONLY HERE.
Please do not delete or edit any post in this thread!! Even if the post is not reflected on the Readerboard yet, I've often logged the post on my spreadsheet already and I will not know that you've made the changes. I do not go backwards in this thread to pick up points. If you need to make a change, just make a new post.
Please refer to the posting requirements for what must be included, and to the general guidelines that will help us keep the challenge running smoothly.
NOTES:
1. You MUST post a link to books claimed for a task. Be sure that you have linked to the correct edition. See links to books in your completed task posts. The links must be posted with the individual tasks - a list of links elsewhere in the post is not sufficient.
2. If you are claiming a 카지노싸이트 Author ticket, you must claim it along with the individual task post and include the author's name. A list of names elsewhere in the post is not sufficient.
3. If you are claiming a Big Books ticket, you must claim it along with the individual task post and include the number of pages. A list of books elsewhere in the post is not sufficient.
4. If you claim a book that only exists in e-book form, you MUST provide either a line reference to the approved book spreadsheet or the post number in which the book was approved.
5. If the task requires a cover element, you MUST include the cover when you post.
6. Remember to include all "Required" task elements.
7. If your book was approved in the Help Thread for the task, please indicate that in your post.
8. Post tasks in numerical order, from smallest to largest.
Any problems with task postings will be posted in the questions/problems thread. Please post there if you have a question about your points, 카지노싸이트 authors, or Big Books.
Good luck and have fun!
