Team Wandering Bilbiophiles

[Delitealex]

Finished 3/15 for resistance

[Laila Jane]

I think we still need A and L? I'm not sure how many though

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Ok, I just reconstructed our spell-it-out on the spreadsheet on the "spell it out tracking" sheet and we have covered the word and we have all read a book!
But we can't move until the 19th :)

And as we have all read our book for "Read a book where there is a rebellion or resistance to a regime" already, that means that once we move to our next stop we can read whatever we want for the week!

[Lauri]

Awesome sauce! I was supposed to be finishing 'The Abbey', but got sucked into Monique and the Mango Rains: Two Years with a Midwife in Mali

It's an amazing book and now an overdue library book -- so I want to finish it tonite.

[Kazen]

Wooo, we're rocking it!

[Laila Jane]

It's nice that we get to relax on our final stop =D

[Jess]

Just popped on quickly to say I'll be away for the weekend, but I'll add any books I haven't yet added when I get back :) hope everyone has a good weekend!

[Cathy M.]

Thanks for doing that Karen! Yes it is nice to just read anything :)

Have a great trip Jess!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Our last stop! Marudi, Malaysia

[Lauri]

I just finished Bones Under the Beach Hut .
I feel like I'm reading in slow motion! I have sooo many unfinished books. Usually I wouldn't care, but now I feel like everyone is waiting on me!
Still having fun, though. I spend a lot of reading time surfing around GR or looking for books to fit a certain challenge because it's more interactive than actually doing the reading...
It's a rainy/windy weekend so far. Just feeling cozy & staying in this weekend. What is everyone else up to?

[Delitealex]

Read 3/21 my book for the week

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I finished my book too :)


Same here Lauri, lots of rain and wind so I've not done a lot!! It is nice for a change from all the humidity we've been having

[Laila Jane]

Just finished my book for the week =)

[Cathy M.]

I should have my book for the week done by Thursday!

[Kazen]

I just abandoned a book (couldn't get into , boo) but the replacement (sexy ) is going much more quickly, yea!

[Lauri]

Just finished The Relic Master
It was pretty good. Very funny, too, in unexpected ways. I'm so confused with what I need to complete! I'm sure this counts for something somehow!

[Lauri]

We're having thunder and rain this evening... I'm looking forward to hot cocoa (peppermint!) and some Thin Mints. I love Girl Scout cookies!! :)

Nice!

[Kazen]

Finished - a fun and angst-free romance, yea!

[Cathy M.]

You just reminded me that I have a box of Thin Mints in my freezer :)

Finished which I'll add as my book for the week!

[Delitealex]

How's everyone's weekend been?

[Lauri]

Mine has been nice and quiet. We had Good Friday off as a holiday so I'm taking Monday off, too. Lots of reading being accomplished :)
We're going to my in-laws for Easter. I'm doing baked beans and a 7-layer salad. Dad is making a big glazed ham...

Any exciting (or quiet) Easter plans?

[Lauri]

And in book news I just finished The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing and Blue Lightning



Both were excellent!

It's Sunday morning here. Had lots of fun yesterday, it was my birthday!

[Laila Jane]

Happy birthday Drishti! I'm glad you were able to enjoy your birthday =)

[Jess]

I'm so sorry team, I just updated the spreadsheet and realised how long it had been since I'd done so D: All updated now though.

Also, happy birthday Drishti!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Oh happy birthday!

Sorry I've been a bit slack ; it has just been very busy especially with the long weekend. Looks like everyone else has been busy too :)

I just went ahead and checked everyone's shelves and we all read a book for that last week so we are officially finished!

Economy class completed and itinerary done for 355 points which is the maximum we could have achieved, and that makes us equal first on the leader board ;)

[Delitealex]

Anyone want to go on to the next class?

[Laila Jane]

Sure, I'll keep traveling

[Kazen]

I think I'll step off here - it's been fun, but I'm ready for some terra firma! ;)

[Lauri]

I would love to continue on. You guys are the greatest!

And happy belated birthday, Drishti! Sorry I missed it!

[Drishti]

Thanks for the wishes, ladies! :)

This challenge has been fun but I don't think I'm gonna go on.

[Lauri]

Hey all you nurses! I am home suffering with a pinched nerve. My whole right arm is throbbing. Hard to sleep, eat, perform bodily functions...
I saw the Doctor yesterday. He gave me a shot of ketorolac & prescribed gababentin & pednisone. Still hurts like *#¥>~@$!
Any advice/thoughts for me?
At least I can still read when I don't pass out from pain...

[Cathy M.]

Happy belated Birthday Drishti! Glad you had a great one!

I'm down to keep traveling.

Oh no Lauri, so sorry you're feeling so horrible. I've heard that's excruciating! All I've heard of is resting it but I'm no nurse. Any of those meds for pain? Maybe you need something stronger?

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I've had a nice time and you are a lovely team! I am just a bit pressed for time at the moment so I'd like to have a break.
Feel free to go ahead and get some hitchhikers if you want to continue on!

[Jess]

I'd like to keep travelling :)

Well done everyone for doing so well and getting us maximum points, and just generally being a great team!

[Greta]

Hi all, Cathy said you might need some new players...I'd like to travel with you if you have room! I brought my motion sickness patches so I'm good to go.

[Delitealex]

I think we just need 2 more people :) Do you all want to see if we can pick up some hitchhikers?

[Lauri]

Sure! It won't be quite the same, but it's always nice to meet new friends, right?

[Cathy M.]

Hi Greta! I agree, it's always great to meet new people here Lauri :)

Yes we should see if anyone else is interested! Or if you know of anyone who wants to join, invite them over!

[Greta]

Oh good, thanks!

[Laila Jane]

Hi Greta! Welcome to our team. I recognize you from Game Night =)

[Greta]

Thanks, Laila Jane...yup, it's me!

[Jess]

Hi Greta, welcome!

And yes, we should try to pick up some hitchhikers!

[Delitealex]

Hey Greta Welcome :)

[Greta]

Thanks Jess & Delitealex!

Delitealex, this makes 3 games we are playing together :-)

[Greta]

Hey all, I think I found someone to play with us. We still need one more after that too, right?

[Delitealex]

Greta wrote: "Hey all, I think I found someone to play with us. We still need one more after that too, right?"

Yes one more person

[Denise]

Hi all! I followed Greta here, I haven't even read all of the rules yet but I'm excited for this! :)

I think I'm bringing along one more person as well...will know for sure in a couple minutes!
