Cassandra | 5832 comments Absolutely, Helen! For words that are possessive, it's fine to use the base word (traveler in this case). And then since "traveler" is completely contained in "travelers" it works! :)

Welcome, Lucy Jade!

Maiko, I already had you at 1/10 - did you miscount or did I make a mistake?

message 333: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just finished #19 (Old Man and Sea) - The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey. While I appreciate the complexities of the story, the teen angst is still ever present. I understand it's written for YA, but some of the angst represented is much too extreme. Overall, I enjoyed it and will finish the series. 3.5 stars
