I can get S and possibly A done this weekend so put me down for those, and I can pick up the other letters if it's necessary.
Tl;dr version: one of the As and S.
Are we still waiting on Stephanie for week one? If something has cropped up, I have a banked O finish.

Mine's working for me now. Thank you again for the help, Sophie!
Hi Mods,Sorry, but I'm going to have to drop out. I'm fairly competent with spreadsheets (have to be for my job) but no matter how hard I try, I can't edit. My only "computer" until I get my school loans this fall is my kindle fire. I don't think that's the problem though, since I have no problem with the sheet for Around the World.

I mean yeah, if everyone wanted to try doing both, I would absolutely keep track of the detours for the group, rather than putting more work on you.
As it currently stands, I'm in the middle of several books that work for the spell-out, so I'm chilling either way haha

We need at least 4 members to attempt the detour, right?

I really am, Alyana haha. I had to make a centralized thread with links to everything just to keep track.
Hi Mods,So I signed up yesterday and am not yet on the master list. Should I keep checking back or are you adding new players en masse when sign ups close on the 10th?

Potentially silly question regarding banked letters and such. Do we have a place that I'm possibly overlooking on the spreadsheet or in general where we're keeping track of letters we've banked other than this thread?
Secondarily, can we bank for detours? For example, I'm reading a book that would fit for Week 2's 2b (if that's what we go with), but it also fits Week 3's detour. So could I decide to hold onto that one in the event that we try for that detour? (I apologize if that question is jumbled up and clear as mud. I have a bad migraine and I've rewritten it like 3 times. It isn't getting any clearer lol)

That's fine. I was just trying to be helpful. I chose what I wanted the first week.

If we can get one more person on board for the W1 detour, I'll be finished with One of Us Is Next (published Jan. 2020) by March 1st.

Space Operas Maybe something on that list?

I don't think I have any on my tbr that take place in the correct spot for the detour, but I'll double check.
