Elinaly, I have a book for 'F' in Finland. It's The Outcasts by John Flanagan. Finished 3/20.

Also have one for Russa - Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife. Finished 3/23.

Looking ahead, I read a book that could be used for the 'I' in ICELAND. It's I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You.

I also agree with doing the spellout for the third stop.

I hope your mom gets better soon, Helen, and that you're doing well.

I'm good with that also. Found books to fit:
detour - "last straw"
task - set in Iceland

But will go with majority, of course.

I'm in North Carolina so Myrtle Beach feels like home to me!

Reading , #445 on Best Crime & Mystery Books list.

Either way is okay with me.

Checked my vote, Elinaly. Thanks for all the work you do to manage the spreadsheets and our stops!

I didn't realize that. In that case, I'll use a book that I've already read for the last task.
