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!

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

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

35559 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
Aug 31, 2018 02:51AM

35559 Okay. That's wonderful! I'll read a book with 'seven' in the title to finish that task

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

35559 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
Aug 30, 2018 07:21AM

35559 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
Aug 30, 2018 07:18AM

35559 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
Aug 30, 2018 06:53AM

35559 Hang on guys, I'll post a mini update in a minute

Go ahead Jackie!
Aug 30, 2018 06:32AM

35559 Okay, I'll start reading a book with 'white' in the title. I will get it done before tomorrow night.

Amanda - That's all fine! You've done an amazing job in this challenge

Brooklyn - that sounds good but I don't think we'll be able to finish task 5 for book four.


I've found a book with a picture on it but not one with fairies or pixies in it for task 1, book 5.
Aug 29, 2018 07:46PM

35559 Which detours to people want to take?
I'm keen for stops 4, 5, 6, and 7
Aug 29, 2018 07:45PM

35559 I swapped my book for another one and finished it. 5 out of 9 books have been read so far.

I guess we can depart for the next stop if everyone finishes their book by Sunday.

What are we spelling out for stop 3? Spain or Sevilla?

Aug 29, 2018 06:55PM

35559 Karishma - yes we are. August BOMs count

Teri - yes it should be! There's been no discussion to extend the challenge. We're just waiting for a countdown timer for the end of this challenge.
Aug 29, 2018 03:40AM

35559 Teri - Yes! That would be superb

Some of the tasks have been downright hard to find. The ones with book covers the most I think.
