Cool. So what letters are still missing in Senegal? The next book that I plan on reading starts with S, if no one has taken it already.

[Sam]

Looks like we need S E E. Unless they are in baggage, where I don't go in case I get lost.

Our choices for the last stop on our itinerary is:


1. Spell-it-out (Entebbe, Uganda)
2. Detour: Read a book where a character is a brainiac
3. Read a book set in the country or by an author from that country.

I vote for spell it out. :)

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

[Sam]

My next book starts with a T

[Eunice]

[Susan A]

[Eunice]

Is it possible for me to use books that I read after this challenge started but before I joined in?

[Susan A]

Eunice wrote: "Is it possible for me to use books that I read after this challenge started but before I joined in?"

I think so. At least, I did list in baggage all of my books back to the start of the challenge.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

You can use any book that you "started" reading on or after August 21st, 2016. :)

[Eunice]

Great! I'll get up to listing them when I get back to my computer.

And I finished Echo Across Time by Skye Genaro. For the E.

[Susan A]

There, so we definitely have spelled this. I'll look back at the previous posts , post 262, and make sure this post matches, and I will also add this to the correct tab in the spreadsheet.

If the book listed above isn't in baggage, I will put it in baggage and highlight it as used. However, I am not going back through all of the posts and adding other books to baggage.


I'll research to see if I can figure out how to report a completed task.

This is our last scheduled task. Does anyone know what comes next?

[Eunice]

Umm, report that you're done and then we decide if we still want to take another trip, I think.

[Susan A]

I updated the Entebbe tab.

I added the books I used that weren't in baggage to the baggage.
I marked all books used in pink.

I attempted to update the tracking sheet but I'm not sure I did it correctly. Specifically, R10 -- we get points for both 6 players and 8 players?

Eunice - -I don't know where to report. Can you do the reporting?

[Lexi]

Thanks for all your work on this thread

[Eunice]

I also don't know how, isn't there a thread for leaders to post? I just don't know where.

[Irene]

Yeah, thank you! :)

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I will take care of reporting it. :)

[Melissa (ladybug)]

Thank you for updating the spreadsheet. I am sorry, but I became overwhelmed by many things happening last two weeks or so and had no time to do it.

@Susan I was just keeping track of the points as we got them. We had all members read at least 1 book, so we got 35 points

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I have reported it.

To report it, the Captain sends a message to NBRC Travel Agent

I wasn't voted captain but seemed to fall into that role. I am sorry if I have upset anyone.

[Susan A]

I appreciate all of the work you do for this challenge. I figured figured you had real life stuff to get done.

[Sam]

So now what happens?

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I really don't know. :( I contacted the NBRC travel agent and asked them what we do now, but they haven't gotten back to me. I personally would love to continue the journey around the world with this great group.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

hopefully we go on with another travel?

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

Sorry got crazy with bingo and scavenger hunt

[NBRC Travel Agent]

Your business class itinerary has been added to your spreadsheet! :)

[Lexi]

Our first stop is Porto, Portugal. I vote for spell it out since the detour is about sports.

I recently read The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe by Kij Johnson
Letters: T, K, J, V, B, C, R
Charecters: Vellitt Boel, Clarie Jurat, Randolph Carter

[Jarvis]

Hey guys. Sorry for being inactive for some time. I have fallen into a slump and haven't read much for a while now. Not sure whether I can join again.
I will definitely join as a hitchhiker if that's fine with you guys. :-)

[Susan A]

I haven't added my books to baggage since Oct 26. Yikes. I have 35 books to add. I'll try to get to it tonight.

Question --

We have so many books in baggage -- do we want to see how far we can spell out the itinerary to use up the books?

[Sam]

I personally don't want to because then all the books will fall on the faster readers and there will be nothing left for the rest of us to do. I like having to pick a book and read it now for this challenge.
