I don't know what any of this means. What/where are the stops? I don't see Spain on our itinerary SS. Am I overlooking it?

Oh, okay, since I'm new to this challenge/team, I'm still playing catch up in the knowing how to play department.
I just finished a book today that can replace Elen's book for Read a book with your favorite romance hero(es)/heroine(s) or your favorite pair (Pair has to be a romantic couple in the book, not just a love interest)I read Enough by Danielle Norman and it fits quite well.
How it works: Ariel and Kayson (view spoiler)
Thanks, Elen.
Question: would Uncle Roger work for the letter U?
Steven wrote: "(also, I finished a book with a teacher, so Vicki, if you can't or don't want to finish the Ghost of You and Me book, mine can count for that as long as it's not used for characters)"Thank you, Steven, but I will finish my book tonight or in the morning.
I am sorry to hear about your loss. Prayers going out for you and your family.

Are you referring to U characters? Also, I know this ends tomorrow but what time do we have to get our books posted? I have one more book that I need to read by Saturday that MIGHT have a U character but I'm not sure. If it does, I can rush my reading even though it's hubby's day off. I'll also check my books for U's.

My book will either be done tonight or in the morning. I just finished up another book and am now getting to this one since I "started" it earlier and read maybe 20-25 pages and then had to set it aside to finish up other challenges that needed to be done sooner.

I'm disappointed because I have no idea when I'll ever finish it now and I was enjoying the book a lot.
Probably the best detours for me would be 7-8 but I can find anything if I need to, so I go with the flow.

I guess I'll wait and see then. If we do stay in Costa Rica another week, I can use Too Late for the letter T or C

I am covering letter O. I also just finished
by R.J. Palacio so if the R. (initial) is acceptable, I can use that one for the letter R. I'm adding it to the SS, so if it's not acceptable let me know.
Okay, team, I just added a book to the SS; however, after reading some of the comments I'm a bit confused. The SS has both Costa Rica and Liberia on it. Plus at the top it says to read a book where two characters have different religious views (something to that effect). I am currently reading a book that works for Liberia, but I think that we are only doing Costa Rica? Also, do we have to find a book that has two different people's religious views or was that only if we didn't do the spell-out? My book doesn't have people with religious views, I don't think. I also saw that only a couple people will add to the SS so I'm sorry if I wasn't supposed to do that and I stepped on anybody's toes.
