Good one. I also was wondering why there are two Ls. Maybe it's the translation? Regardless, the book looks great! Our library has one copy of Travelling Cats, but books are not due back until Aug 31st. We can return early, but I'm sure many patrons will wait until the deadline to return. We can get ebooks, but it's difficult to get the hardback copies.
Back to the Morris dancing topic. How is it that I've never heard of this? It looks like so much fun! It is going on my list of things to experience. So many varieties, costumes and customs!
Excited to see some familiar names on team The Travelling Cat Chronicles! Plus, what a great team name!
So excited to see the teams! Thank you, thank you, Mods for all the behind the scene work that you do for us!
Oops sorry for the misspelling Sonia!
Sonja,Hope you have a great Birthday!

Yay! So excited for Wheel! I have loved Red Hot Chili Peppers for a long time and happy to be taking a virtual road trip with all of you! I'm like a dog...I get excited just to get in a car, even if we only go around the block once a week!

I believe we can advance even though there are a few tasks we didn't accomplish. Someone just needs to contact https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4.... We need to give our points and tell them we're ready for our next trip.I'm not sure how to tally the points, but I'm sure one of the mods can help us, if we ask. Anyone want to take the next step? If not, I can ask.
Haha! Good job Jess! The main thing is you finished it! I haven’t reached that goal and neither have the majority of readers so congratulations!! Who is interested in continuing playing?
Hi Keely,No intrusion at all. This link will take you to the UNO sign ups. Once on the page scroll down to where the big blue font has the words "WANT TO PLAY?" In that section you will see a hyperlink for the sign up form. Fill out the form and send it in. You must be a member of the group "Perks of Being a Book Addict" before you fill out the form. You can find that link on the form.
The sign ups closed a bit ago, but you will be put on the "reserve list" and there's a good chance you'll be contacted. Often people sign up, but then don't show up, or they play for awhile and need to leave the team. Hope you get to play!

Thank you, Carrie! I tested it above and it seems like it worked.
