It sounded like we had to read a book in addition to the one that we used from the list. But maybe I misunderstood that.
So suddenly the spreadsheet won't let me copy/paste. Can someone else try and see if its me or the spreadsheet?
I messaged the mods. They have given us the points for the last stop, and we are free to move on. I asked if we could move before 8 days since we had enough books banked to complete the spell it out already. They said no, we had to stay for 8 days because we each still have to finish another book during each stop. Am I the only one not aware of that? Did we do that on the last stop??
I'll try to work on the spreadsheet some this evening.
I'll play! I know I will be reading for sure, so I may as well join. :)
Does anyone have thoughts on whether to do the task or the detour for the next stop? It looks like we have 3 books finished that would work for the detour already, and I have a 4th I can read that would work. Or we could just do the spell it out or books set in Greece.
I will message the mods today and see if they will move us forward. I'm good to keep going, but I will admit I haven't been very faithful about logging books unless I think they will work for a detour. I'll update what I've missed.
I messages the mods we were done last Sunday. Eight days would make it Tuesday, but since we got so far behind, and we have finished this stop, maybe they would move us early?

I messaged the mods to move us, and they have updated our scores. I am historically pretty terrible with spreadsheets, but made an attempt to add the next stop to ours. Am I correct that we want to do the detour for Stop #3? *And if anyone wants to fix the spreadsheet--please feel free!* :)
Thanks Apoorv! I'll let the mods know we are ready to move onto our next location.And congrats on getting 4 books read in the midst of a move--that's always a crazy time! Not to mention work and school.
I sent Apoorv a PM to see if he would like to continue with us. I will let you all know if I hear from him.
I think it might be more than 10 points, but I'm still okay with moving on. I think we might have enough books for the next detour to be finished already! :)

Technically we have finished the detour. Do we want to just take the fewer points and move on to the next stop, or wait? Apoorv, any idea when you will be finished?
I think we are just waiting for Apoorv to finish his Magic book so we can max out our points for the detour. But I think we are close to having enough books logged to finish the next detour already, so we could probably start looking for books for detour 4. :)
I can do Magic Breaks, but it would be on audio, so it may take me a few more days--but I could be finished by next weekend.
Wow. That's going to be tough to spell. Are we going Detour on this one??
