I read Of Poseidon to use for another task and then realized it is set in New Jersey. Can I get it approved for this task?

The Goodreads description doesn’t mention the location for the book but I found a couple reviews on blogs that mention the book being set in New Jersey:

From This Author’s Life: “He and his sister…move to New Jersey so he can be closer to Emma.”

And from Emilie’s Book World: “Now back home in New Jersey, Emma prepares to start her senior year…”

Thanks!

Dlmrose is on vacation, but with this information, I would accept it in the posted task thread, so I think you're good to go.

Hi, will collections work for this task? I was thinking of readying New Jersey Noir.

Hi, would Peter Benchley's Jaws be acceptable for this task, based on this article?
