Task 25.4 option 3 requires that the author be born in or currently live in Illinois, and that a reference be provided if the author's GR bio doesn't give this info. The only info in this bio is that "they live happily ever after in the magical land midway between Chicago and Milwaukee." Since Milwaukee is in Wisconsin, this does not establish residence in Illinois.

Please check your totals. 165 after your previous post, plus 20 this time gives you 185.

No need to repost - this is just to keep our records synched.

Your first book was written by two authors. Since the task did not specifically allow this, a book by a single author must be used.

See the FAQs
"9. What if a book has multiple authors in a task involving author names or initials?
The general default rule is that books by a single author must be used. This can be varied by the task creator."

"If you are claiming a BB ticket, you must include the number of pages in the book."

You've received points for the task, but not a BB ticket.
