Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 505 comments 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.

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 :)

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.
