I have the following as reading a "T" book so far that has been designated for this stop.

Trial by Fire (Susan A)
Twice Tempted (Sam)
The Thirteen Problems (Melissa)
The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair (Irene)

Have noticed that Gehna and Roger are reading a book for this stop. How is it going?

I don't think that Abigail will be reading for it but Xelly were you able to find a book to read? :)

Hoping to hear that all is going great on the reading journey. lol

Since at least four people have completed, I believe we can move on. I vote for detour again because we can get more points for the detours.

Has anyone heard from Xelly?

Sam is the last one reading for the detour on stop 4. We can go on to the next stop since 4 members have read for this stop and it has been a week.

All be sure to vote to decide what this stop will be, either a spell-it-out, read a book set in Mexico or by an author from Mexico, or the detour (read a book that another player in our team has read)


message 191: by Susan A (new)

Susan A | 461 comments I vote for spell out as well. If the vote goes to detour, I do see a book Roger read that I'm willing to read.


message 192: by Lexi (new)
