We have little less then 2 days to go, have you found a book for 3 E's yet Jesse?
Have we decided which stops we are going to complete? We have stayed pretty focused on the detours (good for point values), but we can't do all of the detours, right? We are going to have to skip a few.I still have not come across a tattoo book ad would be happy to skip that one. But am part of the team and will do what the team chooses.
I found a tattoo, but I'm not 100% sure if I will have a love triangle. All the other detours I have books already lined up for all the detours and should have something to cover any spell-it-out stops we decide on.
We have 6 detours this time and the only one we have to do is "Favorite books from my childhood" because there is not enough letters to get max points but the rest is fine so if you guys don't want to do the tattoo and more than one lover detours that is fine.
I just finished Enders Game for the 3 letter e's
Can you please add a date read to your book Jesse.
I am on mobile and can't do it right now
Okay that's fine, just add it when you can.
This stop we are going to Kittila Finland and it looks really beautiful.
We will try going with the detour for this which is Read a book with the word hot, love or steam (plurals are acceptable) in the title this one might be a little harder to find so we will see what happens, but we will not be able to get max out of the spell it out option since both Kittila and Finland have only 7 letters each and there is 8 of us.
Here is the countdown clock: Countdown Clock
I went through everyone's books and only Daphne and Kate have completed a book that will work for this stop, so everyone else has to read a book that will for this detour.
I'm half-way through my "love" book.
Ok I have one that works for love and will hopefully have it done by friday, it's on the short side so ir should be done quickly.

You forgot me. The evolution of Mara Dyer. It's in the spreadsheet.
That book won't work Michelle, it has to be in the title not in the text, sorry.

What is the page count on the books?
There is no page count, so it can be a short book if you like.

How is everyone's book going, have you found something that will work for this stops detour? We only have a little under 3 days left to go.
I'm down to the last 70 pages of my love book.
Awesome guys, just let me know when you are finished and I will update the spreadsheet.We only have 18hrs to go.
I'm working on my book too I will finish it today, but in case I don't get a chance to post again today it's called too much in love by patty brisco
I added it to the spreadsheet Zeni.
So far we only have 5 of the 8 detour books we need with only 5 and half hours to go, do you guys want to extend this stop?
So have we decided if we are extending our trip so we can let the others finish a book for this detour? or are we moving on to our 3rd stop?
Do we have any inkling if the others are working on a love book?
Not that I know of, we haven't heard from NancyMaire for a while and Jesse never said anything about a love book.

sorry, I've been kind of bummed out about something that happened last week. I haven't been able to do much reading.
Sorry to hear that Jesse. Life has a way of getting in the way.I'm on mobile Stephanie, so or do we have spell-it out do we need to read something for a missing letter?
I will update the spreadsheet with the spell it out option, and get back to you about missing letters but with the amount of books that we all have there shouldn't be a problem.
Sorry with being MIA. Work has been hectic but I don't have books with those words on it
It's okay NancyMaire we went with the spell it out option this trip.
So for our 4th trip we are going to Tashkent Uzbekistan, for this trip the detour is Read a book with tattoos on the cover it can be one tattoo or multiple tattoos, it doesn't really matter as long as there is a tattoo on the cover.

I went through everyone's books and only Michelle and myself have completed a book with tattoos on the cover so that means everyone else needs to read a book that has a tattoo.
I have my tattoo cover book from the library and will start it this weekend.
I would have to say no because there is no skin.
So I was going to start this book
, but now I'm unsure if it would count for a tattoo. So hopefully you guys can give me some feedback or some short story suggestions if it doesn't work.
Ok so if that one doesn't count, would this one
count?

I would think that counts

Yeah I agree with Jesse it does count.
Do children's books work for this challenge?I found
which clearly has a tattoo on the cover
Yep that will work, there is no page limit so it's fine.
