I put our whole itinerary onto one tab so when we get our new one it's out of the way. Our last stop still has its own tab since it's not completed yet

Yay it has been a fun trip around the world :)

Any answers from mods on a new itinerary?

I can't believe the BBQ task is only 10 points. That's the hardest thing on this whole list lol!

Yep :)

Me, Sammy, Rina, CiCi, and Carrie have confirmed to continuing. Alexandra and Seraphina haven't mentioned it. Lost Kathryn.

I would throw down a page number for insurance

Ok Rina. If you hear back from them, let us know.

Sammy, I'm sending you a PM now..

I have another short book that I can MAYBE squeeze in. It would be for #29 or #37. Won't know for sure until later this week.

To be honest, psychological thrillers are rarely more than a 3 star book for me. But I think it's more of a me thing, than the book. Here are some I enjoyed more than the usual

Moving Day
Stillhouse Lake
Sharp Objects
Behind Closed Doors
The Last Time I Lied

Rina, any word from the mods? We will probably be done with this itinerary by the 11th.

Alexandra, how is your book going? Will you finish by Tuesday?

I'm in for DQs for Upside Down

Great Job Zombie Band!! We are currently in 4th place!!

Looks like for week 6, we need some I books, some mini challenge books, and some bonus tasks. We still need word in text and genre. Post if you plan on reading any that I mentioned :)

You have a month to read it, so in your question, Dec 16

I read 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, and It doesn’t fit any of the tasks

Thanks a lot Cathy for making that spreadsheet. It's a big help!

Yeah, this mini challenge really threw a monkey wrench in things. And we still don't have some books listed for our bonus tasks. We are not allowed to use a book for both a bonus task and mini challenge.

TBH, I don't know how this is supposed to help the teams lagging behind because in order to get major points, you have to read a majority on the list. And the teams that are so behind aren't reading much. It doesn't apply to us, but that's just my two cents

Let me know who adds a mini challenge to the planner so I can strike it off on my post

Yes, that's tinsel!

Yay, Kate! To be honest with you, I can't find any bonus tasks for tinsel at my library. Maybe you can find some there? Any other volunteers?

Yay CiCi enjoy your vacation!! Glad to hear you're going to continue on with us!!
