Option 4 - clarification, please. For location Hawaii USA do you mean any of the islands ? Or must it be on the big island of Hawaii?

Thanks .. I've had Honolulu on my tbr for ages ...

I would like to read His Illegal Self for option 4. It partly takes place in Queensland, Australia, but I don't know how much of the books takes place in Australia. Would this book be okay for this option?

You may need to read it to determine if it fits.

Please confirm for option 4: The Glass-Blowers (France).

Thank you.

Thank you."

From the book's description and reviews it appears to be set in France during the French Revolution.

"Mr." counts as a word for option 1, right?
Mr. Splitfoot

For Option 1, can I use the word YOU?

The song is YOU and Your Heart and the book

If I Forget You

Thanks

I would think so. If not, DLMRose will let you know in a couple of days when she gets back from vacation.
