Nicely done Talia (:

That would be wonderful.


I guess all other tasks can be left alone now.

I think we've done a great job. We're about 6th overall in the TT status and I'm proud of us!

Not sure I’d be able to finish the snake book today. That one is paperback and it’s much easier to read ebook while sitting at my desk at work. Not a..."


Haha I do that too when it's quiet at work. eBooks are great

Talia wrote: "I’m starting a new job today so less free time but I’m still going to try to get my book done for shoe on the cover. That’ll be my last one."

Good luck at your new job Talia! I hope it goes well

What's Left? (Prioritised)

1. Book 5, Task 1
- Read a book with "Order" in the title
eg. Perfekt Order possibly free on kindle

2. Book 7, Task 5 - The Battle of Hogwarts
- Read a book MPG War
- Read a book with a sword on the cover
- Read a book with a snake on the cover (Brooklyn can read for this)

3. Book 6, Task 3
- Read a book with something broken on the cover
- Read a book that starts with U
- Read a book with "Vow" in the title or series name

4. Book 7, Task 4 - The Missing Mirror
- Read a book where the main character "goes home again"
- Read a book where a long lost sibling is discovered
- Read a book with "Mirror" in the title

5. Book 4, Task 5
- Read a book with "Maze" in the title or series name

***You've all done a brilliant job. You don't have to keep reading for tasks or at all. If everyone finishes their selected books for the tasks, that would be wonderful. If someone could read book 5, task 1, they would be magnificent.

Countdown Timer https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

Haha okay Karishma.

So, you're reading for Book 7, task 1

Read a book with 'Seven" in the title
Read a book 'Seven" in the series name

I'll read a book with picture on the cover

Okay. That's wonderful! I'll read a book with 'seven' in the title to finish that task

I'm sorry to be a bother but I do not have wi fi only a limited phone internet connection and no access to the spreadsheet.

If anyone can list the actual tasks lef..."

Karishma - can you read any books in message 858?

"Read a book with "Order" in the title
eg. Perfekt Order I think is free on Kindle

Read a book with picture on the cover
eg. Undertaking Irene I think is also free on Kindle "

Or Read a book with 'Seven" in the title

Or Read a book 'Seven" in the series name

Okay so...

Stop 2 can depart 8 September

Stop 3 we can arrive 9 September and decide on the departing date a bit later but probably 2 weeks


What about this for detours...?
Stops 1, 2, 3 - No detour
Stops 5, 6, 7 - Yes detour
Stop 4 - not sure yet. I know that there is a main character named Temperance Brennan who is a forensic anthropologist in a murder mystery type series (also TV series). So, that might help
Stop 8 - unsure.
I'm going to have trouble with finding a book for stop 8's detour.


I prefer spell-it-out's as I'm going to struggle finding country related books that aren't in UK, US, New Zealand, Australia or Canada.
But I do agree with you Samantha! Reading more diverse books is ideal

Julie - I'm not sure if we can spell out both words. We can ask the Travel Agent and see what they say

And let's prioritise book 7, task 1 and another of one the following

Book 4, Task 5 - The Maze

Book 5, Task 5 - The Lost Prophecy

Book 6, Task 3 - The Unbreakable Vow

Book 7, Task 4 - The Missing Mirror

Book 7, Task 5 - The Battle of Hogwarts

Okay guys - take a pick

Read a book with "Order" in the title
eg. Perfekt Order I think is free on Kindle

Read a book with picture on the cover
eg. Undertaking Irene I think is also free on Kindle
