Jan,1) some of the books have instead of a country setting a regional setting (e.g. Caribbean cruise or somewhere in the Middle East) if I'm not able to infer from the hints any country would a region work as well or would you prefer if I don't use those for this challenge?
2) at least one or two of the books I'd like to read in the next couple of month have kind of like a world or Europe tour with several country locations (I'm not sure yet if there will be a primary or major one) can I pick there any country or would you have any preferences (first, last, most often mentioned, my favorite, ...)
