Poongothai (poongsa) | 576 comments Hi all !

I like We're Bookin' It! for the name. I'm OK with spell-it out.


message 54: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Perfect, updated the spreadsheet so we can keep track of who reads for what letter and so we know when we are all finished and ready to move on! I am reading a book right now which could work for either M or A.

I go with were booking it!


message 55: by Joanne (new)

Joanne Ok if we're doing spell-out, the next book I plan to read will work for B.


message 56: by Joanne (new)

Joanne That name is fine with me too.


message 57: by Poongothai (new)

Poongothai (poongsa) | 576 comments I'm reading a book which will work for R.


Lindsay♫SingerOfStories♫ (lindsaysingerofstories) | 711 comments I've got an author first name A book. I'm pretty sure I read that author first/last names work.


message 59: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1384 comments I'm reading a book that will work for M or B. I can start one that will work for A if we still need it after I finish this one.


message 60: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Awesome, I changed myself to an A and added Stacey for the M. Now we only need one member for another A and the other two members to read a book during the stop as well.
When you guys can, add the book you are using or how you get the letter from it to the spreadsheet!


message 61: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments And I will mail the travel agent our team name!


message 62: by Apoorv (new)

Apoorv  Moghe (goodreadscomapoorv) | 1272 comments I will take the remaining A for an A Author.


message 63: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Perfect!!
So Rosina and Nikk should both read any book during this time if they can and we get the 35 points :D


message 64: by Rosina (new)

Rosina | 1800 comments Good morning everyone....lots of talk last night.....

Cant wait to see what everyone chose for books....The book I am reading does work for M if it is needed as backup....


message 65: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Just finished a book we can use in future weeks :D


Lindsay♫SingerOfStories♫ (lindsaysingerofstories) | 711 comments All right, just finished my 'A' book for the spelling bee (thank heavens for winter weekend read-a-thons!)

Ash (Hive Trilogy, #1) by Jaymin Eve - completed 1/29/16
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 stars

Do I need to update the ss for myself or do we have a designated updater?


message 67: by Poongothai (new)

Poongothai (poongsa) | 576 comments Finished my book Yours for the Taking by Robin Kaye


message 68: by Joanne (new)

Joanne We're all sharing spreadsheet duties unless someone is not comfortable using it.


message 69: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Awesome! Making progress! I'm probably going to finish today as well :)


message 70: by Lindsay♫SingerOfStories♫ (last edited Jan 30, 2016 10:11AM) (new)

Lindsay♫SingerOfStories♫ (lindsaysingerofstories) | 711 comments I haven't really used the SS's before so I'll do it but if I'm wrong, just let me know how to fix. I shall do my best.

Edit: just kidding, its already done. Thanks to whoever helped me out. :)


message 71: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Finished my book for this stop :D


message 72: by Rosina (new)

Rosina | 1800 comments I finished my book and updated the spreadsheet.


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments I just finished Night Study by Maria V. Snyder so if we still need "M" we can use it otherwise maybe save it up for the next challenge.


message 74: by Joanne (new)

Joanne Still working on my book, should be done soon.


message 75: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1384 comments I finished my book for "M". I think I have updated the spreadsheet, but let me know if it didn't save. :)


message 76: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Great!Only 2 more to go and we will be on the way to Stop 2!


message 77: by Joanne (new)

Joanne Finished my "B" book. Updating the spreadsheet.


message 78: by Joanne (new)

Joanne Are we putting books used for this week's challenge under the "books read" tab or just ones that haven't been used yet?


message 79: by Apoorv (new)

Apoorv  Moghe (goodreadscomapoorv) | 1272 comments We have FINISHED all our books for this stop !
Yaaaaaaay ! :D


message 80: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Joanne I think just the books not used would be fine! It's basically to keep track of what we can use in the future!

We finished! Yay! Now someone needs to send the score to the travel agent and we move to stop 2 right?
I won't volunteer today since I am on my phone and I'm just not comfortable using mobile goodreads yet


message 81: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1384 comments I'll message them. :)

NBRC Travel Agent | 368 comments Ahhhh... time for some relaxation :)

Welcome to Fuerteventura which is one of the Canary Islands (Spain).






message 83: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1384 comments Wow. That's going to be tough to spell. Are we going Detour on this one??


message 84: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments I think we should because Spain is not worth it to spell and Fuerteventura is just too much!
Can 7 of us find a book for detour?
Read a book with the word magic, sorcery, enchant or divine (plurals are acceptable) in the title

Would Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone be accepted?I have that at home and could easily re-read.
Im not sure if Sorcerer would be accepted for Sorcery :/


message 85: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1384 comments I can do Magic Breaks, but it would be on audio, so it may take me a few more days--but I could be finished by next weekend.


message 86: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Just found a book on my TBR with the word Magic that I can read!
Magic Hour


message 87: by Rosina (new)

Rosina | 1800 comments i agree detour is bedt way yo ho tjis round. can we start reading now?


message 88: by Joanne (new)

Joanne I just took Magic Bites out from the library. If we decide to go the spellout route though, I'm fine with that too.


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments I am happy to go with the detour also. i have a couple of options to go with - just need to finish my current read to start then will decide which one :-)


message 90: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Then I say we go ahead! That's 5 of us already! 7 would be the ideal, hope two more join up!

message 92: by Apoorv (new)

Apoorv  Moghe (goodreadscomapoorv) | 1272 comments Make that 6!
I am in for the Detour !


message 93: by Romina (last edited Feb 07, 2016 07:52AM) (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Great!
Now we just need one more person to read a book for detour and the 8th to read any book and we get 50 points!
I will update the spreadsheet :)

EDIT: Updated it with that you guys have posted, feel free to change anything if its not right!


message 94: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments Just finished Magic Hour, beautiful book!


Lindsay♫SingerOfStories♫ (lindsaysingerofstories) | 711 comments So we're detouring? Did we decide/find out if plurals and other forms of the word are ok? Examples: Sorcery/Sorcerer? Magic/Magical? Enchant/Enchanted? etc.???

I will be searching my books when I get home tonight but wanted to know if we have a bit of flexibility here....


message 96: by Romina (new)

Romina (romii) | 306 comments I am not sure Lindsay maybe you can ask in the airport lounge??


message 98: by Joanne (new)
