Thanks!

Copying my text from above because I think I probably edited/added after you had already read it about Greenwich Park
"You did mention a trip to a market. If you can provide details we can move it there. It is easier for us as captains to fill in a blank cover item spot than a spot about something that happens within the book."

You put 384 pages on the spreadsheet, but the edition you shelved is 480 pages. Which page count is the correct one for us to use?

I believe the reasoning is that the mini tasks (door on cover) can be completed at any time. We won't be getting any more of those, so there is no rush to finish what we have. There are 17 more countries to do for Mini 3, though. So your book was moved to a task in mini 3.

You did mention a trip to a market. If you can provide details we can move it there. It is easier for us as captains to fill in a blank cover item spot than a spot about something that happens within the book.

Thanks!

I'll switch mine to the task.

We only have one more task to be revealed. If all teams are getting the same 100 tasks, I'm fairly certain our last task will be a book featuring a marsupial.

New task:

Read a book with a character who desires world domination

I just finished A Claim of Fortune. It works for this task but is currently on the E in TURKEY. Does anyone have a book for this task? If not, I can switch mine.

Greenwich Park is currently on the Door on cover task. Does anyone else have a door on cover book?

If not, I suggest keeping it on the door task. I think that one is harder.

@Priya - You put 385 on the spreadsheet for pages for Major Pettigrew, but the edition on your shelf has 359. We'll need to go with the 359 unless you have the wrong edition shelved.

@Jacqueline - unfortunately, you finished Ice Massacre and added the read date to the spreadsheet about 10 hours before we got the tasks for the new countries so we can't use it for either country. We are almost out of tasks in Mini 2, but we do have it in the back of our minds for Canada for countries, if we get near the end of that itinerary and it hasn't fit a task yet.

The challenge status sheet has been updated with the books teams have read for each country.

You’ll probably have to wait until it’s morning here. Aiswrya created the planning spreadsheet and she’ll have to take care of it. I assume she’s asleep now. I’m up way past my bedtime watching baseball but heading to sleep now.

Sounds like you might have accidentally clicked on the official team spreadsheet rather than the planning spreadsheet.

Same! I gave it 2 stars. But there were multiple trips to the lake, and lakes have beaches.

Has anyone else read The Berry Pickers yet? I was listening to the audio, but I thought I remembered that there are market visits? Like in the small town where they are picking the blueberries I would call the stores there a market, rather than a store?

Rhythm, Chord & Malykhin has a main setting of a tour bus.

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour is a fun read and mostly takes place in a car.

Do we have any RH/Why Choose readers in here? Groupie mostly takes place on the tour bus.

Books shelved Turkish Authors (verify that they are born in Turkey!)

Books shelved Mexican Authors (verify that they were born in Mexico!) - Verify, for sure! The Spanish Love Deception is on that shelf, but a little googling shows that she was born in Spain.

I'm getting ready to start The Book That Held Her Heart and it's literally only the book in the trilogy that doesn't have a second B for KEBAB!
