[Melissa (ladybug)]

I am good with either a spell it out or Detours. :)

[Melissa (ladybug)]

Does anyone know how to edit google sheets? So that we can keep track? I am able to do it, but I don't really have much time myself, but I will volunteer if no one else is able to.

[Irene]

Usually you just write in it and it saves automatically, unless the owner didn't allow that option

[Jarvis]

I guess we get 10 points for this stop.

[Jarvis]

Melissa, Irene, I have never worked with Google sheets so I am pretty clueless.


I suggest we do a Spell it out for 'Russia'
We will be able to include Exodus too which wasn't included in 'Madinah' as it wasn't completed then.

[Irene]

I just tried and yes you simply just write in it. It saves automatically. I'm rarely on my computer though, I mostly just use my phone :)

[Melissa (ladybug)]

Have finished Exodus by Leon Uris

[Jarvis]

Want to do Russia or the city?

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I vote for Russia

[Jarvis]

Same pinch.

[Irene]

Let's do Russia then :)
I'm currently reading Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed so that could work for one of the s's.

[Jarvis]

I started a book for other S :P

[Jarvis]

R : The Realm of Possibility by David Levithan (read by Gehna)
U : Exodus by Leon Uris (read by Melissa)
S : The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle (read by Gehna)
S : Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed (read by Irene)
I : I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson (read by Xelly)

[Jarvis]

Irene, are you done with 'Wild'?

[Irene]

No, I'm not. I'm 76% through and will probably finish it tomorrow :)

[Jarvis]

Okay :)

[Jarvis]

I am starting a book for R.

[Irene]

I finished Wild :)

[Irene]

Are we supposed to use the edition we're reading or the original title? Anyway, started a new book, but it'll take me a while, it's 700 pages :P

[Jarvis]

I don't know. Ask in the FAQ thread?

That's quite a tome. What's the name?

[Irene]

It's really good, I think I can finish it by tomorrow :) It's The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair

[Jarvis]

Ahh okay :)

I finished the 'R' book today. We have to read an 'A' and 'I' book.

Where are the other members? :3

[Irene]

The characters starts with M, H and N so I can't use them :/ I'm also reading One by Sarah Crossan.

I'm wondering that too...

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I also have wondered where everyone had gone

[Lexi]

I've been busy but finished a book for A.

Outriders by Jay Posey

Characters: Almedia

[Lexi]

Company Town by Madeline Ashby

Would also work for A.

[Irene]

I'm reading Alice and the Fly by James Rice atm, what about you?

[Irene]

Finished Alice and the Fly and am now reading a Danish essay collection, which can be used for B, M and F.

[Jarvis]

Sorry, I wasn't around for a few days.

How are you guys? :-)

Do we have a book for 'I'?

[Irene]

I don't think so, no :)

[Jarvis]

Will you read one? :P

I have exams. I have start only after 19th. :/

[Irene]

I'm reading Spirit Animals 1 next because it's due back to the library :) I can't remember the author and naturally don't know the character names yet lol. But we'll see how it goes :)

[Lexi]

Finished: I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelsonfor I

[Irene]

I've read Grief is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter. No names in the book, it was Dad, Crow etc.

[Lexi]

Are we done with Russia then?

[Irene]

Yeah, you read the book for I so looks like it.
Maybe we should go look for more members? Seems like it's just three of us left :/

[Irene]

Next stop is Vladivostok - Russia.

[Lexi]

The moderator knows we still need more members.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I am still here. :( Russia again? :)

[Jarvis]

Me too. *lurking*
Will join you guys from 19th.

[Sam]

Are you still looking for members? I would love to join you, and I love spellouts.

[Susan A]

I'd like to join too

[Jarvis]

Even if we include the inactive members, there are still two places left, so of course you can join! :D
Welcome, Sam and Susan!

[Sam]

Glad to be Booking It Around the World with you. I am currently reading Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard and should be done with it either later tonight or tomorrow.

[Irene]

Hi Susan and Sam :)

[Susan A]

Hi Irene! Do you think I need to wait for a moderator to make this official?

I'm a little lost on what letters are needed.
