Gotta love the kindle search function. Louise... make sure you have a box of tissues handy when you read that one. 5 star tear jerker.

Sally.. for your reading pleasure. Two for twitterpated as follows -

I really like the lateral thinking Celia! Seems good to me but better let the Captains make the final decision.

Yep, pretty sure that passes. 😁 I mean who could resist pizza on the table..

Celia wrote: "got "pizzas" in my CR if plurals work"

Celia, unless specified plurals are acceptable so all good. As long as they are eating pizza or pizzas in a scene should be fine.

So I think we have enough for a detour. Hopefully, you can find one in a book at the library, Louise or there's always Read any Book. I will send a message to Cat to tell her we're travelling again. 😊

Yes.. isn't it handy. I've got a kindle Oasis. Along the top there is a looking glass icon. Just type the word in and it comes up with how many books feature the word in Audible Store, Goodreads, (5554 for Pizza!) text in your own books and Dictionary and Wikipedia.

Great job everyone. We're getting those tasks done!

I've got this one for actor if no one else can find one.

Sally, you can use that. It's any book read since the challenge started and we've been going for about 3 years.

I put pizza into the search of my kindle and surprise, surprise I have about 8 unread books with pizza.

So that's two already.

How about we take a couple of days to see who can find pizza? Let's make the spell it out or pizza decision by the 10th? Check back here who has pizza. We probably need at least 4 readers to go ahead with the detour. Otherwise spell it out it is.

Finished . 4 stars

Used for Boot - Bingo.

If anyone does please share with us all"

Probably a historical romance. I'll check my kindle. Or a Disney movie.. wasn't it used in Bambi or was it The original Jungle Book?

I do have a wishlist Set in Brazil - I don't ever read set in South America either but this looks okay and it is at the library.. but I can't get there because of covid lockdown. .

So I'm voting spell it out as well. Some of the detours look tricky this itinerary.

... And we're off again. Thanks Namita for the housekeeping, this is a team effort so all good. Itinerary 10, wow!

The first detour is.. Read a book where the characters eat pizza.
Or spell it out - Porto Seguro or Read a book set in Brazil or Brazilian author. Thoughts?

I'm so very sorry Abir. We were worried about you. Good to hear from you although your circumstances are sad. Grief is a very personal thing, I think we never get over close loss, just learn to live with it.

Take the time to come to terms with your loss. Don't worry about this challenge, Cat has come on board. Hope when you feel like reading more you can join in again. 💖

I really like her Chicago stars series and Honey Moon was a 5 star read. I was surprised I didn't like it more as well. Glad you enjoyed it though.
