You couldn't have a book for 10.8 and claim 10.1 for combos. But you can't claim a book for 10.1 and claim other combos for other tasks.

In post #653, I claimed a book by Alison Weir for 20.10. Since then I’ve discovered that the author was a different Alison Weir ! I thought it was a bit different than her usual factual history books and I didn’t know she had moved to the US as the author blurb on the book said she was living in California but I had seen her in Houston about 20 years ago, so I thought maybe she had decided to move to US.

So I will read a different book for the task. Could I use the book I read for Task 20.6? That should leave my score the same.
