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

Aren't we all :)

And I love that picture of San Jose. Can we hang out here for a while :)

I vote for eating pizza or spell out too. Looking at the other detours, maybe do eating pizza this time? We can have up to 5 detours I believe (right Louise?).

I'm not sure how long or if it will last but we are now in first place!!

I'll approach them - they may want to wait until our spreadsheet is updated to show this itinerary as complete. I usually link to it and to our thread for them to update the main tracking spreadsheet and provide us with the new itinerary.

It's year end where I am too so I understand!!

I think we're just waiting for Celia to finish her book for the last stop.

@Yasmine, we can use books <100 pages, but we don't get any points for the book itself. We could use it for go to the cinema though and get the 5 points for that task. If you want to read it and post it, we will take it.

For the offler stamp, I think if we read a book where someone writes letters, or is an epistolary book, then we could count that. Here's a list to some listopias for these types of books:

Epistolary Fiction
Epistolary Novels
Letters to and From: Fan Mail, Hate Mail, Love Letters, Communique, Correspondence Non-fiction
Epistolary Young Adult Novels

Got both Louise and Cilla books mentioned in #724 and #726
