I vote for #2.

Good luck with the move.

@Carrie, I took my "P" book of the list for this stop. It looks you are the only one whiteout a book listed. Hopefully you can fill it so we can get all of the points.

Thanks Sophie - I signed up already😀

SS is set up for the next stop. Everyone has finished ready for the previous stop. Enjoy Taipei!

That's weird. Maybe you can message the Moderator NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief to see what is going on....

Thanks Alyana - Wheel 5 was the first GR challenge I did. I noticed that there is penalty in this one for "over reading". Interesting....I guess people we under-estimating in previous challenges. I think I probably did, not intentionally though😃. I tend to read more during a challenge.

Preference in order #3 then #1

I'm in too!

SS is ready for the next stop. Enjoy Kuala Lumpur.

Hard to believe we only have on stop left after this one.

I'm good with 1 or 3, long spell-out OK with me as well.

@Alyana - I'll certainly look at the challenge...

@Carrie - looks like #1 is the vote leader. I had some time today (a day off😀) so I set up the SS for option #1. If that is the wrong choice let me know and I can change it.

@Carrie - let me know when we've made a choice and I'll finish the SS.

1 or 3 for me as well.

SS is up and ready for your visit to Russia with option #3. Enjoy!

I just finished by book for Spain today. Enjoyed it.

I prefer the detour for this stop. Although, I have already more the 1/2 of the first 100 in the list🤣. Still a few more on my TBR list.

@Sophie - great story!

I will be completing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and The Shadow of the Wind. More the 1/2 done each of them. I have off from work tomorrow and expect to complete them by the end of the day📚🎧😍

I'm still waiting for my book from the library🤷‍♀️ - it's in transit.....

Thanks Snow - I'm waiting for it to be available at the library.

14. Did you enjoy the visit to town? What are your thoughts on Helen? Does she seem like a real character or too convenient?

I think the visit to town went much better than I expected it to go. Helen seemed too convenient.

15. Why do you think that Sal trusted Linus to move his desk?

I think Sal wants to able to help people and it is a sign of him feeling more comfortable and at home.

16. Lucy has a nightmare in this section. Did this make him seem more powerful or more like child? How do you think Linus handled the situation?

He is a child who gets scared by his powers that he really can't control. I think Linus handled the situation wonderfully.

17. What do you think of the use of the word home, as a theme for this book? It has been used by Linus, Zoe and by Extremely Upper Management?

Home is where they are comfortable with good people who care about them.
