Team Journey to the Center of the Library

[Carol]

I'm in too!

[Elise]

We have 6 of us locked in to keep going.

Cathy, would you like to keep going?

Is everyone ok to get a hitchhiker to replace KiKi?

I'll msg the travel agent now to get our new itinerary.

[Alissa]

The more the merrier!!

[Elise]

New itinerary is up!

[Cathy]

I'm going to bail out here. Thanks for the fun trip!

[Roseena]

I vote for spell it out, I can only think of two books for the detour

[Alissa]

I vote for the spell it out

[Roseena]

guess we need 2 hitchhickers?

[Elise]

Looks like it! I'm on mobile - can someone post for 2 hitchhikers in the hitchhiker thread? :)

[Caroline]

I posted our availability for two hitch-hikers.

I vote for Brazilian Authors! I want to read Veronika Decides to Die, but I don't think it'll work with spell-it-out.

[Kirby]

Hi there! I'd love to volunteer to hitchhike!

Awesome! Welcome to the team! We're voting on what to do for our first stop on our second itinerary. Our itinerary is at this link, or can be found on the first page of this discussion. Click on the "business class" tab to see our goal choices.

It looks like we have 2 votes for spell-it-out, 1 vote for Brazilian author/setting and 0 votes for alteration in title.

[Kirby]

Awesome! I think I'll defer to you veterans for this round of voting. All of those options sound good to me.

We would still would loveyour vote !

[Carol]

I prefer spell it out, but will go with the majority.

[♎ Nereta♎]

I am okay with spell it out

[Kirby]

Spell it out works for me!

[Karin]

I saw a post in the Hitchiking thread that you may be looking for another teammate - if so I'm interested ;)

Hello, I think you can join since we need another hitchicker :-)

[Roseena]

Perfect! Very excited to join the team (perfect timing for a new round as well). My preferences are in this order (but I'll go with the majority) spell-it-out, Brazil author/setting, alliteration.

[Elise]

Welcome Karin and Kirby!

Look's like spell-it-out wins :)

New spreadsheet is up for you.

There's 9 letters, so someone can grab an extra one after everyone picks a read.

[♎ Nereta♎]

I have read book for F letter

[Karin]

Are we good to start reading our books yet? And since I'm new, can someone confirm that since we are doing a spell it out, we read a title, series name, author first or last, character first or last for FORTALEZA (except for F that Nereta is reading)?

[Roseena]

SPELL IT OUT RULES
Using the first letter in the book’s title, the first letter of the series name, the first letter in the author’s first or last name, or the first letter of a character’s first, last, or nick-name, or the first letter in the audiobook narrators first or last name.
If you are reading a translated version, you can also use the first letter of the translator's first or last name.

[Roseena]

I have a question! So we started the trip on the 20th? cause we were talking about what we were doing for the stop right?

I am asking cause I read a book that would work for E , i started it the 20th and finished the 23th . yes no?

[Carol]

I'm reading: by Nora Roberts which can be used for O or R

[♎ Nereta♎]

Yes, we already started :)

[♎ Nereta♎]

I finished Bullet to the Heart by Lea Griffith. I will use it for L letter if that is okay

[Alissa]

I think it's fine @ Nereta and Roseena....and I finished my book for the other A!

[Brandy]

Hi! I am guessing since I am here I am on a team? I am very excited to join your team!! I have no idea what is going on but tell me what to read and when it needs done and I am ready.

[Brandy]

I will do the Z. A novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Ann Taylor. Zelda is the main character.

[Roseena]

Guess im not using mine. Im going to have to read a new book. Caroline took it :)

[Carol]

Finished: Read: by Nora Roberts

Can't update spreadsheet until tonight.

[Kirby]

I have an "O"! The Book of Phoenix by Nnedi Okorafor

[Elise]

Hey guys - I'm actually going to bow out - captaining the wobble challenge is huge and we're one player up. I took my round 1 read off the sheet so you have an extra one.

Happy travelling! :)

[Roseena]

Do you guys want to add otjer hitchhicker ?

[♎ Nereta♎]

I think brandy was our nineth player so he or she can take place instead of elise

[Kirby]

I'm a little confused by the spreadsheet. It looks so different from yesterday when I posted about Phoenix. Can you let me know which letters are available so I can squeeze in somewhere? Thanks!!

So does The Book of the Phoenix still apply ... starting with T? Or am I stretching it?

[Brandy]

I have the letter z. Almost finished with it. Do I need to fill out the information on the spreadsheet or do you have a team captain who does that?

[♎ Nereta♎]

Yes, we do it ourselves. Just post here when you complete the book so that we know you take letter. And fill spreadsheet by yourselves.

[Brandy]

Nereta where can I find the current spreadsheet? The one I found is already filled out.

[Brandy]

I found it!

If im not mistake yes.

[Roseena]

Yes. We fill it by our self. When we finished or ready to move on. We notify the moderator .

Ellie used to do it. Would anyone like that role ? I dont mind, but i want to be fair.

[Brandy]

I finished my book. Do we have letters left?
