Jammin Jenny’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I like all the options too Louise. If all of us can do the detour, then we can score 40 points. If only four of us can do the detour, we might as well do set in the U.S. as we'll get 25 points either way. We don't have a full team since we are keeping a spot open for Abir, so we'll never get those extra 10 points.

I do occasionally, and then I go to their page and if we have friends in common (that I know fairly well) I accept. Otherwise, I ignore.

You're fine. We put 3 weeks for this stop since some of us had 2 books to read.

Namita, I noticed you haven't picked a letter out yet.

There's a U on the board, or you can take my other letter R.

Which one works for you?

Task: SIO, Letter I
Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews, read 1/11, 3 stars
Author's first initial is I

Excellent point Louise. I think everyone was just itching to travel... :)

There are 4 letters left and Louise and Namita have to pick their letter.

You only need to pick one letter...unless you want to do two.

I've copied the names that claimed letters onto the SS so we can just update it there.

Letters updated in message #3575

Okay we only need five people to read for the SIO. The remaining two can read any book.

claim your letters!

ETA: Maybe we should spell out the city so we can have at least six of us reading for the spell out and get a little bit more points?

12 books - 2 books a piece?

I prefer SIO - I like some of the other detours better and we are only allowed five each trip

What a beautiful city! Shame we have to leave it but we are off to Port-au-Prince Haiti.

Detour: Read a book with a Number over 50 in the title (can be spelled out)
SIO: HAITI
Read a book set in Haiti or written by a Haitian author

What do you all want to do?

Okay, so the Travel Agent said we can continue on with 7 people, no need to read extra, we just will get less points since we don't have a full team which means not everyone on our team has read a book.

We can still try to pick up a hitchhiker if we want to, but there's no specific need to do so. We should be getting a new itinerary later today or tomorrow.

I sent a reminder to the NBRC Travel Agent (and an NBRC Mod) so hopefully we'll hear something soon about a new itinerary, and whether we can continue with 7 people while Abir is on "pause"

Happy New Year!!

I'll check with the NBRC Travel Agent to see if we can get a new itinerary before we have a full team.

ETA: I sent the PM and will follow up in a week if we don't get a response. I also asked if we can just travel with the seven of us since we'd like to keep that spot open for Abir when she's ready to come back. I'll keep everyone posted!

I sincerely hope she's okay too. The last time she posted in our thread was Nov 18th.
