Oopsy ladies, we have had a housekeeping malfunction.

Sorry Sally, Celia just got in before you.

Thanks Sally.

So far Sally, Namita, Maddy and I have voted for the spell it out Puerto Rico. We just need one more vote and the spell it out will be in play for Stop 8.

EDITED TO CORRECT - THE COUNTRY IS SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA

Amazing scenery"

Yes, we watched it too. They picked it because hopefully there won't be snow.. it's winter. Wasn't the scenery amazing.. but that wind. Brrrr.

Nice one Sally. Daughter and Hubs have booked UK for 30 December to walk the South Coast Path in Cornwall. I'm a tad worried but they should be able to get their booster dose before they go so that's a plus. I've booked a cruise... but not till November 2022, hoping things would have calmed down by then. Or I'll be quadrupled vaccinated!

Thanks Jenny.

I'm voting for a spell it out - Puerto Rico.

Maybe we can aim for finishing this itinerary by the end of this year 31 December.. and then see who's up for a brand new Itinerary to start 2022. I'm hoping I can do a bit of travelling for real next year too!

You know, this is why I love being on Goodreads so much. Where else would you find people who can go from reading The Only Good Indians to Dino Island, LOL.

It was your nomination, so you were guaranteed a day but glad you are e..."

Oh... I didn't know that, LOL. Still excited though.

Yay, I got picked for DQ's for too.

Oh yay, it's a double bonus when it's the book nominated and also DQ's. Thank you. 😊 All good for first up.

I finished for a double serve of horror tags and white cover. It definitely fits into the genre of "horror people do to each other" rather than creepy, slasher kind of horror. Even though I could appreciate the writing I can't say I loved it. It felt pretty depressing really although it had a positive outcome in the end. A bit too "realistic" for me I guess.

Lexi wrote: "Lisa, yes, you can read it again and volunteer for DQs. I will be your backup unless someone else wants to. The rule for rereads is only 6 months."

Sorry, I'm no 5 on the wait list at my library so I probably won't be able to volunteer for DQ's as I can't guarantee I'll get the book in time. I can recommend it if anyone else wants to read it.

I read that on 8 March this year. That means I can still re-read, and put in for the DQ's, right? It was an enjoyable book but not as good as Daisy Jones and the Six. That was a 5 star read IMHO.

That is >50% white so it works great."

Excellent! I've also finished my first X book and on the shelf and spreadsheet. Great going everyone.

Captains... This has come in from my library. Is it white enough?

I just finished my last book for this round. Posting to the spreadsheet now.

Have a lovely time with your family, Sophie. Yes, us grandmother people don't want anyone to starve on our watch, LOL.

Looks like we've got the X's and colour white under control. Now for those horror tags, I'm not a big horror reader but will read anything for a challenge. And we have another Back Room BOM, the theme being "dinosaurs".. the mind boggles!

And also..."

Sally, maybe it's the psychological "horror" that human beings do to each other? I'm intrigued to find out now.

Sorry, jumping ahead to Week 3.

Is this white enough for white cover... It's also tagged Horror 146 times. Can it be used for both?

And also ... I'm glad we got an X .... I've been saving books up.

Completion Post - stop 7

Detour - Read a book with only one cover.
