And I have finished the cheese spell out! (Though a double check would be welcome!)

Those cheeses just keep coming!
Luckily we have a Q :)

Afghanistan book can also work for gains independence task, if we don't want four mid-level books in our itinerary....
I'm easy either way - both 10 points, and clearing the task will give us another...

Finished Afghanistan book, starting Liberia shortly

Fab!

I've started a Senegal book.

I'm super impressed by everyone's willingness to hunt out books from those tricky countries! Thanks all!

New Task

Read a book tagged "Time Travel" at least 10x

Finished a book for Philippines (got a bit tense, but it just tipped the 50% in the end)

Does also work for Y author and non fiction....

Finished Maldives book!
Phillipines next 😃

I've found a fun Maldives (felt like a change from Africa), as well as some African lined up for later :)

Not found a camel :(

Finished the last book for itinerary 1!

Superstar!

And a new World Wheel!

United States of America!

So that's a long spell out and some tasks

Author born in United States
Red, White, and Blue on cover
"""watermelon"" in text"
stars on the cover
character in (or was) the military
letters EAGLE in title (any order)

We can only use books finished after now, though actually we've got a pretty clear bank so not an issue!

Danielle will get the sheets updated soon (I'm currently in mobile only), but do shout if you've a book coming up that works

Finished the travel to St Petersburg, picking up a set on Congo-Brazzaville book

Re sky on cover... I wasn't sure about the fish in a bucket...

Itinerary Books Update!

We have now filled in our minimum requirements for medium books for Itinerary 1!

If possible, please hold off on finishing any more medium books for a bit! We need 2 hard books to finish the first itinerary with maximum points!

If you can particularly pick out tricky letters as well as current ones that'd be fab!

Read a book where a character packs a bag (overnight, luggage, suitcase, with the intention of being away for at least one night)"

Do any of the recently finished books meet this, or any of the new tasks please?
Eg, in Silvercloak do they pack to travel elsewhere?

As an aside, What the River Knows will work for packing. Who else, apart from Rina and Sarah is reading that one?

I was pleased! :)

@Dawn - any chance Silvercloak was in first person POV? Or has a Y character? Otherwise it'll sit and wait for a handy task spin

We'll absolutely put all those lovely points to maximum use, don't worry!

Which is a point: we are operating under a cap system for this challenge, so we all need to be aware of how close we are getting to our sign-up + 5 limit, and start prioritising big books :)

You can see your cap and progress towards it on the "Member Info" tab of the planner sheet - Danielle's got some beautiful colour coding when we get close

@Kaley: does your Say You'll Remember Me involve a plane flight?
