For locations, I believe it should just be the main setting of the book. But please also see the UNO FAQs re location:

For location, is it just the city, state, country or are locations such as "Snowberry Manor" or maybe a specific lake or mountain name counted?
It needs to be the main setting for the book. So if the book is set in "Snowberry Manor" then that is ok. Whereas if that is just the name of the house, but not the main setting (which may be the city of London, for example) then I wouldn't count it


As far as locations. Too many group challenges and different rules. Sandpoint, Idaho, it will work for 5 or 6 ???
6 - Sandpoint as it is the main location (so if it more specific than just "Idaho" then that is the location you use.

Good point, I fixed my "cards" according to this, thanks for the tip! :D

Thanks Alla!

Question: If a book is the first in a series but book #2 hasn’t been written/released yet is it a stand alone book or first in series?

[Cathy M.]

Michele wrote: "Question: If a book is the first in a series but book #2 hasn’t been written/released yet is it a stand alone book or first in series?"

If GR lists it as a #1 in series on main book page, please use it for card 1 and not stand alone.

That's great that you still enjoyed it! I've re-read books years later and found my tastes have changed so they are not as enjoyable. Of course, the really good ones will always (hopefully) be good :)

[Cathy M.]

Great reading everyone! I've finished 2 but don't have time to log them right now - will do it later this afternoon after my meetings are done.

[Jodi]

Just wanted to say Hi 👋🏻 and check in... I feel like the reading slacker of the group 🤣. I promise, I am working on a few books, just not as fast as y’all! Hopefully I’ll be completing another one soon. Great job to everyone though!! This is fun seeing what everyone is reading!

No worry! We have a range of reading speeds within the group and everybody's contribution counts! :)

Just let us know if you think you won't be able to finish the colour cards you are reading for, so that we can make sure we have a backup for that.

That has happened to me also, so I was a bit nervous reading it again and maybe "wasting" time on it, but I felt I had to before diving into the next one in the series.

There's nothing specific we need quite yet. Just keep reading what you like! But keep in mind the mini-challenge should be out by this weekend so we'll have something more to focus on once we have those details.
