Preference - #1 then #3.

I'll be finishing my book this week end as well.

@Carrie - we have technically completed this stop. We only needed four travelers to read book to move on to the next stop. Maybe we can start to consider what we want to do for the next stop?

@Sophie, this is my first TT so forgive what may be silly questions - can books be used only for one thing - task, bingo or jackanory? Or can they be used for more than one - ie - a task and bingo?

@Ashlee and @Carlie - I see you are both from Pennsylvania too 😀
Where do you live? I'm in Media - about 10 miles outside Philadelphia.

Hello everyone

I'm Bernadette. I live outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA). I'm a tax accountant (CPA) and I work part-time and during tax season that means 55 hours a week🤣. Even though the IRS extended the tax return filing deadline to May 15th, my crazy work time is over. I'm back to 2 or 3 days a week.

This is my first TT but I have done Wheel V. I've never heard of Discworld before this. My reading genres are varied - I read almost anything depending on my mood and have read some odd books for challenges in the past. Here is my shelf link:

I looked at the team SS - WOW! There's a lot. On the Bingo tab, I don't even know what some of those items are.

I'm going to be on vacation from 4/29 to 5/6 without access to a computer (only an iPad) and will not be able to update the SS. Very excited to be traveling again✈

Nice to meet you all😊

Just picked up my Romantic Suspense book from the library. Nice to not be working on a Saturday😊

Bernadette is much better than me at this.

If there are problems, can you please fix them Bernadette? Greatly appreciated!

Happy readin..."

@Carrie - it looks pretty good to me but I'll check again when I get home from work. My last Saturday!!! Even though the tax filing season was extended to May 17th, we're done with Saturdays after today- woohoo🥳

#4, #1

SS is updated - happy reading!

Tower Teams sounds great. I haven't done that one before but I did do Wheel V and that was fun.

It's been nice travelling with you Massiel.

@Snowtulip, I saw that whoever did the SS before me add snippets & pictures and I thought it was a good idea so I kept it up!

@Carrie, did we decide what we are doing on this leg?

I vote for detour this time! American author or setting.

Carrie - glad you are feeling better.

I'm looking forward to vacation - end of April - even though the IRS extended the filing deadline to May 15th - Ugh! I'm not changing my vacation...

@Carrie - looks like we are almost done this stop. Do we know what we are doing for the next? Spell-out or detour? Just wondering for SS setup. I have time today but a very busy work week ahead and I have trouble using the google SS at work. I can always do it when I get home though. Tax Season - I love my job🤪💕😍💻💲

my mistake sorry ."

@Pooja - it looks like you are reading Northanger Abbey now. It has an 'I" character - Isabella!

I'll update the SS when I get home from work tonight. I always have trouble with google documents from my office computer🤦‍♀️

The spreadsheet is set up for our next stop. It is set up for Port-au-Prince. Did we decide to Haiti? I can easily add it if we did.

@Alyana - this may be a silly question - but are you travelling on 2 teams? I saw a post on my thread from you but it was for another team.

Alyana wrote: "Carrie wrote: "Heard from the Travel Agent. Our team is officially updated and we are complete at 8 members!!!! Hurray!!!!

The point spreadsheet will be updated at some point when the agent is at ..."

I'm good with adding Haiti. It's already set up for Port-au-Prince.

Definitely spell out!

Ditto!😘

I m using phone"

@Pooja, if you get a chance, try from a computer and let me know if that works for you. If not, one of us can keep posting for you.
