finished
for Australian author and setting :) I will update the spreadsheet now
I've no idea what I might read for this round. Usually I don't really pay attention to the nationality of authors and I can't think of any book set in Australia...

Some recs:

I'm not quite sure. I'm slowly getting out of a reading slumb ... :(
The daughter of the Forest looks interesting but I don't think starting with a Fantasy book will help.
I forgot NR Walker is Australian. I could try that.
If anyone's struggling with Australian author or setting I'd imagine we have enough books to do a spell it out.
I finished My NR Walker book :D it was great :)
Angel ~ ✿ Claire ✿ wrote: "I finished My NR Walker book :D it was great :)"Cool.
I also finished a novella by NW Walker. It was cute :)
So we only need Eni to finish Dollhouse And we get max points. Too bad we can't move on till thursday.
Anyway, for next stop we decided to do spell-it-out because mobile phones on covers are kinda hard to find.
Do we want to spell Christchurch or New Zealand?
I think the only letter we may be missing on Christchurch is the "U". Maybe.
Sonia wrote: "Nope, we have an U too."Nice!

LOL, I wasn't keen on that one either, but I bit the bullet and read The Liar which is a romance-suspense :) I've updated the spreadsheet
What do we still need for Christchurch, NZ?

Well, after playing a little with the spreadsheet, we have all books already.
Meaning we have already all books for Australia and New Zealand which give us 2 weeks & 3 days to read a Romantic Suspense book and to decide if we want to travel again, this time in Business Class, which means we can do 6 detours instead of only 5.
Soooo, since I read a NR Walker novella for Australia, I can use Starting Point for romantic suspense. When I manage to read it, of course :)

Ohhhh I've never travelled business class. My husband on the other hand manages to score upgrades all the time when he flies alone. I'm up for more travel!!
Sorry I keep missing updates. I am happy to keep travelling. I need to add another batch of books to the spreadsheet. I keep telling myself to add them as I read them but I am very good at ignoring myself.
I would like to complete this round but I'm not sure if I will stay on for business class. Do we have to complete this round before we can see our itinerary for the next round?
Ellen wrote: "I would like to complete this round but I'm not sure if I will stay on for business class.

I think I'll probably give up with this challenge after we complete the last stop as I feel I need a break for a while... I hope it's okay for the team to ask for an eventual hitchhiker to replace me!
Sorry for the late answers.@Ellen: yes, we need to finish challenge to know what next trip will be.
@Sara: breaks are needed sometime, so take your time.
For some reason I missed the posts from a couple days ago - sorry! Thanks for using the spreadsheet and figuring things out!I'm pretty sure I read a romantic suspense book at some point too - but I need to be sure it is in the spreadsheet.
Okay, team, so, I was all excited to continue with a new trip, but sadly, I can't.Daphne, the winner of the Leprechaun event, did such a good job choosing the next Team Challenge that we are going to attempt something never done before.
And we are aiming for it to start in June, which means next weeks will be pretty busy plotting and working and deciding things. My part even requires some reading done in order to pull it out, so, yeah, no travelling will be possible.
One thing I can guarantee you. It's going to be epic. And you don't want to miss it :)
And yup I had! Glad my memory didn't completely fail me.I have other books I could add to the spreadsheet but I'm lazy and busy enough that I'll add as we need.
That's ok Sonia! Sounds like a pretty exciting challenge coming up - thanks for doing the work to prepare it for us!I'm alright with stopping at the end of this trip, or continuing on if enough people want to.
This new epic team challenge sounds pretty cool! :)

I'm up for anything at this point. Continuing or leaving it, it's all fine with me. I've really enjoyed flying around the world with you guys!
Me too - and I've learned a lot from all the pictures and comments!
i can continue or stop here. Whichever you gals want to. I had fun!And guess what book Sonia HAD to point out to me it would be a good fit for romantic-suspense???? *shakes head* Ty & Zane.
I swear she sleeps with a copy under her pillow or something -_-'
Haha she knows you'll eventually give in.

Well... I don't because I don't have the physical books... yet! Waiting for Riptide's new editions to come out.
Although I do sleep with my tablet near my pillow and all 9 books plus 3 sidewinders are there *whistles*
Sooooo, Australia and New Zealand were fun. We're up to our last stop, Boa Vista - Brazil.It was a fun fun ride so far.
Boa Vista is the capital of the Brazilian state of Roraima. Situated on the western bank of the River Branco, the city lies 220 km away from Brazil's border with Venezuela. It is the only Brazilian capital located entirely north of the equator.
Good Morning Raiders!!!!I'm half through my romantic suspense book. I'm going to be so sad when I finish it, because I loved the trilogy characters. NR Walker really hits my right buttons :D
Yay - I'm glad you found a book you are enjoying for this!!
Finished my Romantic suspense book, so glad it was a quick read as it wasn't for me
i read the first in In Death and i actually liked it, so i'm happy about that. Well.. Roarke kinda grinds my gears but the rest of the story i liked xD
Good reading jobs! Sorry yours wasn't great Ellen.
Even though it wasn't my style book I'm glad I read it and that I read a book for every challenge! It's been a fun trip
Yes it has - thanks for being such great traveling companions!
It has. Sara isn't reading for this round, we need to check on Angel and then cross finish line.
Sonia wrote: "It has. Sara isn't reading for this round, we need to check on Angel and then cross finish line."It's been great travelling with you all. It sounds like we're not continuing in business class. So adios and I hope to cross paths with you all again!!
Thanks for the funny trip ladies, I too hope to cross paths with you all again! :)

I hadn't a clue on what we were doing for Darwin so I read a detour book and a set in Australia. I can do an Australian author too. I also have a few N.R. Walker..."
I've been holding out to read it. I don't want to say goodbye to Kira!
