On The Same Page discussion

Elizabeth A.G.'s On the Same Page - AROUND THE WORLD CHALLENGE - ONGOING
It is preferred that books must actually take place within the country; but if not, then an author from that country is acceptable as long as the author is based in that country. Some books contain more than one location. It is not required that the entire book takes place exclusively in that one country.
