If you are willing to look at photo directions in another group, The Challenge Factory, click on the link below. Very clear directions with pictures. A much better explanation than I provided. I don't think you have to be a member to follow this link.

I started and finished Inspiration by Henrietta Clarke on 12/5.

Should I add that or is that going backwards?

[Sam]

Ink and Bone- Rachel Caine- 12/14/16

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

I have the T Duck Duck Ghost read 12/12 - 12/13 MC Tristan Pryce

[Lexi]

I added those last two books and Congratulations, we are done with the stop. The next stop is Thiruvananthapuram, India. All books finished after count.

I am all for trying for a perfect cube: 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, 1,000 are the ones in book range. I have four that would work on my to read list.

[Susan A]

I can do either. I have a 216 pg that I could get done over the course of the a week.

[Sam]

I have a 512 I could get done this week I think.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I have a book with 512 pgs that I can read. :)

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

I should be able to find something for the perfect cube.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

well since the rule say any page count is acceptable I have a 27 page count book that I can read quick.

[Brandy]

I have a 216 pg I should be able to get done in a week.

[Lexi]

I say we go for it then.

Roger, I wasn't sure if we agreed as a team earlier for what we took as our minimum length?

[Susan A]

I didn't vote on a minimum length. Perhaps it was before I joined and I didn't notice. If the rest of you would like to set a minimum I'll respectfully bow out.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

Personally my post was a vote to do the detour. The length has to do with the detour. I was saying in my post that I had a book where the page # added up to a perfect cube. I don't have a problem with spell it out either, but the "v" in the word would really be a biggie to try to find lol :) I don't think it has to be a minimum # of pages just that the # of pages are a perfect cube

1
8
27
64
125
Etc.,

[Lexi]

Sounds good to me, I'll start mine this weekend.

[Susan A]

I thought Xelly was questioning whether or not we had a page minimum as a group for this challenge.

Do we? I didn't think we did. I read a lot of shorts and I am certain I used shorts. The Ugliest Sweater is 65 pages.

If there is a minimum, I need to go back and check everything I claimed.

[Lexi]

I cannot always keep groups straight and since no one else remembered one, I figured it was another group.

[Sam]

Alrighty then, since we are doing the detour, I will move my book up the TBR list to get to it sooner.

[Susan A]

I added this stop to the spreadsheet and put in my completed book. Please feel free to re-arrange the spreadsheet as you see fit.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

Finished Taken In Pompeii 27 pages for perfect cube.

[Sam]

East- Edith Pattou- 12/24/16 (512 pages in kindle edition)

[Lexi]

Good job everybody. I added mi be a bit ago so we need one more person to reach the five needed.

[Brandy]

I have about 4 hours left of mine. Should be able to finish tomorrow morning.

[Brandy]

Pavilion of Women by Pearl S Buck is done. I had an old paperback version 216 pigs.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

Finished Grimpow, but haven't added it yet. Has 512 pages

[Susan A]

So, next stop?


4. Taichung (TW) - Obihiro (JP) Read a book where a character is a nurse

I don't have anything for the detour. I vote for spell.

I do have a nurse, actually multiple books with a nurse. I guess it doesn't matter to me.

[Brandy]

I am good with a nurse book or spell it out,but would prefer spell it out.

[Sam]

I don't currently have any nurse books, so I would prefer the spell out.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

Spell it out

[Lexi]

I'm good with Spell it out.

[Susan A]

Which are we spelling?

Taichung
Taichung Taiwan
Obihiro or
Obihiro Japan

[Sam]

I am starting an H book today.
