Our amazing Angie!
I promise to be more present starting from June - when my kids school and kindergarten graduation is behind.
What a beautiful-beautiful Baltra Island!
Lets hope we will find a hitchhiker - who doesn't want to travel in first class, right? :)
Fingers crossed!

Elinaly - no worries at all!! We compliment each other well! ☺ I hope that I haven't taken over - I was only trying to keep us going.
Off topic question - anyone on our team joining the Wobble event??
Helen, thank you for the travel and I wish you and your mother all the best! :)I'm almost ready to go for a new stop, so can't wait for first class! ** Plus the new hitchhiker! Can't wait for it :)
Still looking for my last book for this leg.

- this was what I read for this leg it was pretty good. Don't know if that is your type of book, and if not, we can search for something else.
I think we have picked up a hitchhiker!!!!! Cross your fingers! ☺
Hey everyone - Say hello to our newest member - Jamie!
Welcome, Jamie - look around, chat, make yourself at home. We will begin our First class trip soon. We are happy to have you join us!
Welcome, Jamie! Glad to have you aboard.
Angie ☯ wrote: "I think we have picked up a hitchhiker!!!!! Cross your fingers! ☺"We have?!? Ohh, I was afraid this is going to be mission impossible :D
Big-big welcome Jamie!!!
And thanks for joining us!
Welcome Jaime. Angie I will look into that one.
Hi everyone!I debated joining because I'm about to start Wobble but I love team challenges and you guys looked fun :-)
Can't wait to start!
BTW - I live in NYC so I'm on East Coast time. I work full time but my two sons are in college so I have more free time than I used to. I have always loved reading, I also like knitting and walking around NYC and I pretend to like working out at the gym so that I actually go.
So nice to meet you Jamie!!We are sometimes pretty quiet in here (everybody are reading their books for all the endless challenges), but if you feel like chatting come right over here and we will join you :)
PS! I signed up for wobble also and I hope some task "are a match", I mean that I hope to use the same books for both of the challenges... well I'll see how it goes :)
PS! Angie - did you ask already for our first class itinerary?I'm preparing our spreadsheet for voting... ;)
So Jamie, HERE is our spreadsheet.The link directs you to the voting sheet, which is empty at the moment - until the mods send us the new itinerary.
Elinaly wrote: "PS! Angie - did you ask already for our first class itinerary?I'm preparing our spreadsheet for voting... ;)"
I did - but haven't received it yet.

Thanks, looking forward to our start!
Angie ☯ wrote: "I did - but haven't received it yet."Yeah, I did saw that our 7th stop points aren´t showed on leaderboard either. I guess they are busy-busy with wobble ;)
Hi Jamie and welcome to our team! :)Yes, we are mainly focused on the reading part of the challenge, but don't worry we're happy to chat a little! :)
Aaand just so I know: what is Wobble exactly? I checked the page but didn't really understand how the challenge goes. Also, I'd love to participate but I'm already struggling with university and all :(
PS: finished Allegiant, which means I finished the Divergent saga! Finally! Did you finish it too Elinaly?

So did the last book save the series or not? :P
Yay! Shy you found the last straw!! :)I'm sending PM to the Travel agent!
PM sent and now we have nothing more to do at the moment than wait for our new itinerary :)

Wobble sign ups are closed at the moment, I guess you could sign up for the back up player. It's the next huge team challenge running up til october. Gonna be interesting I bet :)
Congratulations on completing!So sorry for the delay, your first class itinerary is now on your spreadsheet.

Oh! This was my first challenge but I must admit I might be getting addicted to them, so if anyone has suggestions, I'm happy to take them :)The last book...let's say the finale was really unexpected, and in a way I liked, but for the rest, I kept having the impression that the idea was great, while the actual product was a little disappointing :(
Can't wait for the First Class Itinerary! **
Excited to begin!Let me know how you guys like to do things. I am away this weekend but still checking in on Goodreads. Just not as obsessively LOL

Hi Jamie! Enjoy your vacation!
We normally vote on task or detour for each stop. Elinaly sets us up a tab to vote on our Spreadsheet. Take a look, and vote when you have time. As soon as we all vote on the first trip, we will begin the journey! (For maximum points, we can do 7 detours this trip and 1 task. I made a note on the voting sheet of what each means.)
Post if you have questions - I will be lurking...I mean browsing on and off all weekend. :)
Now...I have what is probably a stupid question. On leg 2 of our First Class itinerary the detour is "Read a book where a character is a cat shifter"..... what is a cat shifter??
Yay for the new trip! Are we going to do all detours this time? They all look like fun detours.
Dima wrote: "Yay for the new trip! Are we going to do all detours this time? They all look like fun detours."We can do a max of 7 detours......so we have to do 1 task.
Angie ☯ wrote: "Now...I have what is probably a stupid question. On leg 2 of our First Class itinerary the detour is "Read a book where a character is a cat shifter"..... what is a cat shifter??"It is same thing as werewolf, just instead of wolf, character changes into cat. I will need to make my research, since only book I ever read with cat shifters was Eragon or some of the sequels.
And hi Jamie, welcome in our little group. :)
Angie ☯ wrote: "Now...I have what is probably a stupid question. On leg 2 of our First Class itinerary the detour is "Read a book where a character is a cat shifter"..... what is a cat shifter??"Yeah, I didn't know either that there are other shifters than werewolves before I read Moon Called - there is coyote shifter.
But in Menagerie there are even dolphin shifters... LOL
And wild cat shifters, I wonder if that counts?
Yay for the first class itinerary, but... huh its going to be tough :D7 detours... we at least TRY to take the max, right?
have you noticed that we are the only team who has done max points all the time and has reached so far? if we keep up this way, we will win this game!! ;)
Hehehee... yeah Monika, the first thought I had reading first stop detour (Read a book with a game piece on the cover(chess, domino, etc.) was - the book thief! :DBut I have read it. And I loved it!!!
Any suggestions for the task "Read a book with a game piece on the cover(chess, domino, etc.)" ?I voted task for this stop at the moment, but only because I have no ideas for this detour...
Give your VOTE and let the fun begin! :)
