Can I read Stieg Larsson books, as I was thinking of reading his 2nd book The Girl Who Played With Fire?

yes, Sweden is one of the countries listed in the task.

Would you accept ?

The description says it's set in Canada, so that works!

I would like to make sure my book Icebound will work for this challenge. The only summaries I can find on the novel just say it's set in the arctic, but they've mentioned several times within the story that they are at the tip of Greenland. Since the setting isn't 100% clear on the GR's description page, I just wanted to double check that it would work. Thanks!

that will work. Be sure to note in your post that this was approved in the help thread.

Would First Person by Vladimir Putin work? The non-fiction book is a set of interviews of Putin. He has spent his life in Russia. Thanks!

Would a book set at the North Pole work for this?

Sorry for the triple post, my phone went a bit mad! I'll delete the last two when I get to a computer

yes

I would like to read The Call of the Wild. The Goodreads description does not include a reference to location. It takes place in the Yukon territory of Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Call...). Yukon, bordering the U.S. state of Alaska, is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three federal territories (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukon). Is this okay?

yes, this works

Hi! Would The Darkest Kiss work? It's set for the most part in three different countries - Romania, Greece and Greenland/Arctic Circle... The climax of the book and its resolution happen in the Arctic circle, if that helps?
Thanks!

If more than half the book takes place in Greenland/Arctic Circle, it works. If that's the case and you use it, be sure to explain that in the completed task thread, since the GR book description doesn't mention this as a setting.

Shucks, unfortunately it's only a third of the book:( Thanks anyway:)
