Team Booking it Around the World
Your itinerary is
here
When you have a team name, just let me know and I'll update this thread name :)
First stop - Madinah, Saudi Arabia
So just to get you started...Your first stop is Madinah, Saudi Arabia
You can choose as a team to:
TASK
- Read books set in Saudi Arabia, or by Arabian authors or
- Do a spell-it-out of Madinah or Saudi Arabia
OR
You can elect to do the detour, which for this stop, means that four of you need to "Read a book where the edition you are reading was published on the 15th of a month"
I suggest we do Spell it out for this one. Do share what you guys feels :)
I am with you on Spell it out the question is do we do the city or the Country I am starting a book with the D covered because either way we go we need the D.
Also have to pick a team name my suggestion is Have Books, Will Travel
Let the other members come and put in there suggestions . I will suggest city name though.
And I started An Agatha Christie book. It will cover A in both the cases :)
The book has to be started after the thread is made, so I can't use the above mentioned book. Will search for something else :P

I also am not too good with names. :) I will go with whatever is decided. I also vote for the spell it out.

I am good on spelling it out. I am reading an S right now but should be finished later today.
But what shall we do : city or country?
I vote for Country
I can do either and I am about finished with my book that covers D
Finished Deductions by Lyn Gala for D or if doing country also fits B for Kavon Boucher. 70% done with Winter Blom which fits A B(Andy Blom) and D (author D.J. Jamison).
I am starting a book which will cover I. :)
I am reading a book that would work for either N or R Nine Princes in Amber by Roger ZelaznyHave we decided for a team name and what we are going to spell?

Winter Blom is done So got the D https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... and an A (Andy Blom) covered.
Abigail hasn't been here. Shall we message her?
Hi! :) I'll read the thread now, I just wanted to say that I'm here :)
Irene wrote: "I'm currently reading The Ice Twins by S.K. Tremayne so it works with the city name. :)"Will update the message as soon as you finish. :-)
SO is anyone opposed to "Booking it Around the World"? If not, I suggest we accept that as the team name.
No problem with name :)Have finished Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny
Would work for either N or R
I've read two but neither help with letters.The Drowning Eyes by Emily Foster
Six-Gun Snow White by Catherynne M. Valente
We can use Character names too.What are the main characters' names?
Eyes - Tazir, Chaqal, Shina, KodinSnow White- Mr. and Mrs. H, Snow White, Deer boy, Dude,
Those are main characters and the second one was a little odd, the lack of full names being the least of it.
I've finished The Ice Twins just now :)Edit: Main characters names are Sarah, Angus, Lydia and Kirstie.
