task 30.5 The Peace Garden is an ebook without a print edition. Please repost after having this book verified for length
I searched the "completed tasks with ?" board to see if I'd been notified about a possible mistake with my GRA tickets, but I didn't find anything, so I'm going to post a question. The rules for claiming a GRA ticket state: "If you read two books by the same GR author during the challenge, you will receive two tickets (one ticket per book)."
Does this mean that if I read multiple books by a GRA during the challenge that I receive a ticket for each book read?
According to my records (and my records could be wrong, of course :), I should have 6 GRA tickets--if I'm understanding that rule right. In each of my posts I explicity noted each author as a GRA.
In post 301, I read a book by Elizabeth Hoyt and a book by Julia Quinn. In post 441 I read another book by Julia Quinn. In post 798 I read a book by Janet Evanovich and two books by Livia J Washburn.
Did I do something wrong?

I figured out what I did. I added one in that I forgot to post. I posted it now. Thanks for letting me know. You do an awesome job of keeping up with this!
Mod
Please indicate that an author is a GR author when you list the book, rather than just listing them all at the end of the post. It's a lot easier to keep up with the record keeping if I can check them as I go through your posts, rather than finding out at the end that you're claiming GR authors.
No need to repost these.
Thanks!
