Thanks Stephanie, I wasn't sure if the subtitle counted or not. I had another option, but was thinking is is it for clouds on cover instead, so I will look at some other options.
Well we have 2 weeks for this stop, so you have plenty of time to find something.
I went through my juvenile shelf, thought I'd share what I came up with if anyone was interested. Let me know if I added one that shouldn't be here, as I was going cross-eyed searching.Titles with Three A's
Titles with Three E's
I'm currently on a book with three e's, but I have an A's book I just have to finish two library books first
The Black Daliah is what i'm going to read for the 3 A's
I put my recently finished books on my shelf :)Neanderthal Man: In Search of Lost Genomes should work for the 3A's :)
This is great guys, I'm currently reading a book Paying Their Piper with Passion and Love which works for both 3 A's and 3 E's.
So for detour 3, with the words hot, love, or steam, would the word lover work?

I'm reading Summer Beach Vets for a challenge and it will work for the 3 E's
Eh, hopefully I will find something for detour three by the time we get there. I just finished Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. Once again I'm on the phone app, so I will wait until probably Sunday to update the spreadsheet, but this one works for 3 E's. Now I'm deciding whether to start 3 A's first or the library book that is do on the same day we're counting down too. Fingers crossed I finish both by then.
Alright, so I finished Did You Ever Have a Family for my 3 A's book and updated the spreadsheet.I was looking at week 8's detour and just wondered how we can determine interest because sometimes I read a book to test out a series and see if I'm interested in it.
I think the cover with tattoo's will be the hardest for me. I've spent sometime looking around and everything I've found so far is stuff I'm not really into reading. I've got time to continue my search though.
I asked about it in the airport lounge and will see what they have to say, I would say if your interested enough to test it out it probably would count but we will wait and see to make sure.

I do know that a lot of MC Romances has tattoos on the cover.
Okay Zeni the answer is yes, if your interested in it enough to test it out then it counts.
That's the problem, I'm not into romance books. I like that I have plenty of time to keep searching. I've been checking various holocaust memoirs thinking maybe I'd find one where their number is visible. I know the third book in Uglies had one, but I haven't read one and two yet. Which I've run into on a few things, later book covers in series, but I only have so much time with other planned reads.
Yeah that would be a problem, there is no page count so maybe you can find a really really short story.
Is tattoo enough or do we need multiple tattoos?
One tattoo is enough so that would work.
We have 4 days left for our first trip, how are you going with your books Kate and Jesse?
I have finished my book. Will update the spreadsheet in the next day or so.
Okay awesome.
How is you 3 A's book going Jesse?
Were getting down to 22 hours left before our first stop is completed, have you finished your book Jesse?Countdown: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/...
Darn subtitles, I grabbed a book for three E's...just finished it and realized, arg...it had a subtitle with three more E's....oh well. Off to try again.
Okay, I need to update the spreadsheet with your book so would you like to post here the book that you finished with the date you finished it and any other books you have finished since this trip started. Remember that it has to have a finished date to count.
The Black Dahlia, finished April 17
Okay, on your bookshelf it has the Black Dahlia but under Date read it says not set, you need to set a date so it counts towards your read books.
Jesse I can't count your book towards our challenge unless you have it marked as read, right now it is marked as to read. You need to add then date you finished reading it and mark it as read.
Sorry I'm late at posting, I'm sick at the moment but let me know what you guys want to do. Do we move on to the next stop or wait till Jesse marks her book as read?
Being that we know she finished it, I'd say wait so we can get maximum points.
ok sorry i will do that now (btw i'm a he)
Sorry for calling you a her, my mistake. I will update the spreadsheet.

Okay guys, for our second stop we are going to Santander spain.
We will first be trying to go with the detour which is Read a book with 3 E's in the title, like last time it can only be 3 no more or no less.
We are going back to 1 week trips from here on so here is the Countdown Clock: Countdown Clock
I have gone through everyone's books to see if any of them fit this weeks detour and we have 5 that do, so Kate, Jesse and myself still have to read a book for this week.
Kate you do have one that works but it also works for the word love for next week, so i'm not sure if you want me to save that one or not. Let me know.

I have other titles with 3 E's but not with love, hot or steam. I have just finished All Dressed in White which has 3 E's, I'd rather use that one.
For week six does the character have to have multiple lovers at one time or can it be throughout the book?
I would say either way.

Okay, I will update the spreadsheet with that book. It's not in your sheet but I will still add it and you can update yours whenever.

My brain is soggy, I can't remember squat anymore."
We are still going to use previous books but only for spell it out option, all detour books have to be new books read after this trip started.
