Just checking my understanding. For book 2 - would My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry work, using Sarek National Park?
Wondering about D-Day Girls: The Spies Who Armed the Resistance, Sabotaged the Nazis, and Helped Win World War II - the MPG is actually womens. If ok, please note genre, near the end of the list.

I sure hope it's any letter, since my readerboard name is XBM!
