Welcome Celia!

All linked up in message 3!

How much of the book has to take place in that country for it to count? Like if a book has some chapters set in England, but most in the US, does it still count?

Then I 'd say that book wouldn't work for a book set in England

Okay, thanks

I've decided to start over as I really didn't give this a proper go for the last 6 months. I hope that's okay.
