Charlotte, totally not your fault, it was me that didn't read what you had written properly

Absolutely terrifying 🤯

oohh thank you for picking that up Keely, I obviously didn't read the post correctly and for some reason saw it as the author born in Barbados and not the MC.

Thank you flower :o)
I thought so, but always best to have the captain confirm because i could be getting it catastrophically wrong, and then giving wrong info out at the same time lol

Charlotte wrote: "Ok, that would be a good book for mini 1 then!"

I'd say yes as there hasn't been one for Barbados yet from what i can see on the SS, E will be by later on to confirm correct info

Charlotte wrote: "So...I'm planning on reading a book that is set in the US, but the MC is from Barbados, which is a hard country, and it talks quite a bit about Barbados even though most of the book isn't set there..."

Books count for the setting, and/or where the author is born Charlotte, so Barbados or US would count :o) (obvs only if author was born there)

WHOOP 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I'm reading a non fiction UK born author

weirdly though I'm in the middle of another challenge and last weekend I sat all day and read a book on my kindle, and finished the whole book in a day 😳 who knew haha
