Okay .. I'll use it elsewhere
I do have another book that I believe does work for this task. I assume that since this one does not count I do not have to go through the posting of a deletion and then posting of a new book.

The character moves from New York to Irish countryside, but I think it won't count since New York isn't listed as a location in the book's metadata.

**eye roll**
Well, please consider that horrible book unclaimed for any and all tasks. I refuse to spend even one more breath of my life thinking about that particular book.
Moving on...
On a side note, I would like to suggest that the rules may need revising and simplification. The rules of this group seem to me to be a bit fussy. The inspiration to read is the whole point, right? The treasure hunt for qualifying books is fun, and exposes people to new books. The reading part of the challenge is fun, and really is the whole point. Why do we need to be so fussy about the rules? There is no monetary value to the points earned, no reason for anyone to cheat. I think if the book fits within the spirit of the task, aren't we better off awarding points and moving on to a new book? Plus, it seems to me that requiring new members to spend so much time reading pages of (boring) rules is not a great way to introduce them to the group. Shouldn't they be reading books instead of rules?
Sorry if this isn't the best place for this suggestion, but it seemed like the best opportunity to say something that has been in the back of my head since I discovered the group and fell in love with the SRC idea, then almost didn't join due to the cumbersome rules.
