Hmmm. Well the British did end up taking countries across the world, but were they actually after world domination? I’m not sure. Any history buffs in here?

I’m going to start it now

Read a book with a character who desires world domination
Read a book that is in the Foreign Lands List: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5...

edit- and
Read a book with a title that starts with one of the letters found in TRAVEL (Articles may not be used but can be ignored)

My research tells me it works.

I confirmed with the captains group this works. Thanks!

Not yet. All the tests haven’t given any answers. Had a blood test yesterday which is the last one so will see if that gives anything
