Team Journey to the Center of the Library

[♎ Nereta♎]

There was new hitchiker who asked if there is free spot in our team. Should we let her join?

[Elise]

I just saw that, hopefully she will jump in and get our numbers back up to 8 :)

[Elise]

You're right Kiki, the spell-it-out options for stop 8 wouldn't work. We could read Italian authors or books set in Italy, or the detour is a book with a Goodreads rating between 3.51 and 3.99...Is there some way to sort your TBR based on GR ratings, because that would make this option easy!

[Caroline]

I vote for Italian authors, but you can sort your tbr shelf by rating. Just go to the shelf you want to use and click on "avg rating". If that isn't an option go into settings at the top of the list.

[♎ Nereta♎]

We get more points for detour or its same?

No, I forgot! I'll do it right away!

[Alissa]

Hi everyone I'm interested in joining the team. If you will have me just let me know what I can to do to help.

Hi Alissa! Nice to meet you

[Caroline]

Welcome Alissa! We are just moving to stop 7 in Portugal! Feel free to claim a letter here

We're also voting on what we want to do for the final stop. Both the city and country are too short for spell-it-outs, so the choice is between Italian books (author or setting ) or avg review of 3.51-3.99.

As per Nereta's question, we do get more points for a detour. However, since this isn't even a competition it's hard for me to think of a situation more fitting... Welcome to the Around the World Reading Challenge, where everything is made up and the points don't matter

[Alissa]

Is there a page count required for the book I choose?

[Caroline]

There is no minimum page count requirements for this challenge =)

[Lu]

This list is just what we need for our last stop!

[Alissa]

Well I'm taking A I just have to figure out how to update the sheet

[Roseena]

sign in with Google and edit :) or one of us can edit it for you.


I would like the average rating detour

[Alissa]

I tried unsuccessfully....,i need some help from a fellow iPhone user on how to navigate the Google docs...please update the A to Matched by Ally Condie and I will let you know once I finish

[Elise]

I can never open Google docs from my phone! I updated the spreadsheet for you. Welcome to the group!

Current voting for Stop 8 so far (4/8 votes in):
Italian setting and/or authors - Caroline, Elise
Detour (GR rating 3.51-3.99) - Roseena, Nereta

Kiki...I wasn't sure whether your post of Italian authors and settings equaled a vote for that? ;)

[♎ Nereta♎]

I vote for average but I can also read books set on Italy if necessary

[Cathy]

I vote for the detour.

...detour it is! I'll set up the spreadsheet :)

[♎ Nereta♎]

It will be last stop. Will we continue travelling or we will stop?

[Alissa]

my vote is to keep going if it's possible!!

[Elise]

I think the team itself should keep going in Business Class, as new teams aren't really being formed, and hitchhikers can jump on as needed? I'll go around again, as it's a slower-paced challenge, it fits around other challenges for me.

Carol, do you have a book that fits either a T or a L? Put it over the top of one of Nereta's if you do.

[Lu]

After stop 8 I'm leaving the team, I don't have much time for reading lately and I'm sort of struggling to keep up, I rather leave the spot to someone who will actually enjoy the challenge =)

[Roseena]

I'm continuing

[♎ Nereta♎]

I am continuing too

[Caroline]

I want to continue, but I signed up for Wobble. I think I can do both, but I might need to skip a stop or two

[Roseena]

I sign. up for wobble too caroline

[♎ Nereta♎]

I am signed up for wobble too. I am so excited

[Alissa]

Me too!!! I joined this to get ready for it but I like this game too so I hoping it won't be hard to do both.

[Carol]

I'm continuing too, please.

[Roseena]

just updated. I'm just waiting of you guys to fly :)

[Lu]

I'm almost done with mine from stop 7 and I chose a shorter one for stop 8

[Elise]

Update - we are waiting for Kiki, Cathy and Carol to complete or update reads for Stop 7...then on to Stop 8.

I'm starting my Stop 8 read today. I'm captaining a WOBBLE team which is a little full-on (in a good way!)

[Alissa]

I started my stop 8 read today as well!!

Good luck with captaining your WOBBLE team Eliae more power to you since that seems really involved.

[Carol]

Added my book to the database. Read: Angels & Demons by Dan Brown

[Lu]

I'm done with 7th :)

[Elise]

I didn't realise we finished stop 7 - I emailed the mods :)

[Roseena]

[Alissa]

I'm almost done with my book for stop 8

[Alissa]

I finished and updated the spreadsheet

[Lu]

I'm done :) It's been a pleasure travelling with you, ladies. Have a nice second trip :D

[Elise]

Thanks Kiki!!!

Can we have another round robin of who is still playing before we take it to the travel agent?

[Alissa]

I'm in for the next flight

[Roseena]

In. Would like to help more in this trip if i can ?

[Caroline]
