Ah I just finished a book today that could work for location or souvenir item. If y'all are good with that... I can write a review in the few minutes I have here at the airport.
Go ahead and do it for the souvenir item, that way Hannah's book will still work for location. Thanks, Seneca! So glad you can participate in this round!
Updated list:Location: Australia - Hannah
Transportation: Car -
Souvenir Item: Candle - Seneca
Nourishment: Grain/Legume -
Sleeping Accommodations: Castle - Bess
Caitlyn, would you rather read a book for car or grain/legume?
If I don't get it up within the next 48 hours, (I'll be in a different airport later) don't expect anything from me. But I'll try. :)
Okay, thanks for letting us know, Seneca. If it doesn't pop up in 48 hours, we'll cover for you. :)
Done and leaving! See y'all!
I'll take car, if that's okay with you, Andrea? :)
Yes, that's fine, Caitlyn. I've got a couple of books with wheat on the cover, so grain/legume works well for me.
All right, so Seneca's book has been disqualified because it's something of a recipe/picture book.Here's what we have:
(Is everyone okay with Hannah doing the extra category [candle]?)
Location: Australia - Hannah
Transportation: Car - Caitlyn
Souvenir Item: Candle - Hannah
Nourishment: Grain/Legume - Andrea
Sleeping Accommodations: Castle - Bess
I'm done with my book. Posted already. Good night good reads!

Fine with me!!
Fantastic job, Bess!Girls, let's see how fast we can read our books. I'm starting mine during lunch today.
Do we have all the books needed for this round? Need any additional? Thanks & happy reading!
I'm planning to read a second book for candle, but if your next book works for that, go ahead and grab the category. I'm about 55% on my first book (location).
I have
. It is a short book, 165 pages. If it works, I'll read it and post the review tomorrow.
I think that one should work. :)Update:
Location: Australia - Hannah
Transportation: Car - Caitlyn
Souvenir Item: Candle - Bess (done)
Nourishment: Grain/Legume - Andrea
Sleeping Accomodations: Castle - Bess (done)
Mine is done! We nearly have this finished. ;)Location: Truth Stained Lies
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Since the library book I was finishing up had a surprise candle in the text, I went ahead and wrote a review for it.Souvenir: By Your Side
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Oh, okay, Hannah! I won't finish mine; I may be able to use it in the future! :D
Too bad we don't get extra points for extra reviews!!
No kidding, that would be amazing!Update:
Location: Australia - Hannah (done)
Transportation: Car - Caitlyn

Nourishment: Grain/Legume - Andrea
Sleeping Accomodations: Castle - Bess (done)
Caitlyn, it's up to you and me now. :) How's your book coming along? I'm looking to make great headway on mine today.
I finished mine this morning and just got my review posted! :)
Sweet! That cover is so cute, too.Guess it's down to me. :)

I went from 35% to 65% on my book yesterday, so I'm hoping to finish today or tomorrow (depending on how much I get done on a review book, which I'm also trying to finish today or tomorrow).
I am determined to finish my book today! Will check back with an update in a few hours. #goingdark
Round two is done (for us)! Great job, ladies!
Yep, so happy. I like that we were able to get done so quickly. That will really help us out if it comes to a tie breaker in that last round.
Okay, my book has a mug in the text on pg. 23....it looks like that would perhaps be the hardest category. (Souvenir)It would also fit Location or Sleeping Accommodations.
I'm working on
, which would work for Location or Nourishment.I'm open to checking another book, though, depending on what all y'all can cover.
Here's the list for round three. I thought it would be more convenient to have it in our chat thread.ROUND THREE
--1#Location
Antarctica
Read a book using one of the following options:
-Title starts with one of the letters in Antarctica (articles [a, an, the] do NOT count)
-Part of the story takes place in Antarctica
-Cover features snow or ice
-Author's First or Last Name initial starts with one of the letters in COLD.
--2#Transportation
Bicycle*
*must be found on book cover
--3#Souvenir Item
Mug*
*can be found in book's text or on cover
--4#Nourishment
Water (rain, lake, in a glass, a teardrop, something)*
*must be found on book cover
--5#Sleeping accommodations
Some type of building, house, tent, cave, etc.*
*must be found on book cover
Round Three ends 6/14/17, reviews for books need to be posted in their team's review thread by then.
Is anyone working on a book that works for ONLY ONE category? We'll start narrowing down which categories we each need/want to take.
My next read is:
which should work for either Nourishment or location, I can take whichever one of those nobody else wants! :)
Okay, so far it looks like Caitlyn and I can cover Nourishment and Location. Caitlyn, are you okay doing yours for Nourishment?Hannah, are you okay doing Souvenir (Mug) since your book works for that one?
Bess and Seneca, do either of you have a book for Transportation (Bicycle) or Sleeping Accommodations (house, tent, castle, etc.)?
Absolutely, that totally works for me! :)
Awesome.Round Three
Location: Antarctica - Andrea
Transportation: Bicycle - ?
Souvenir: Mug - Hannah
Nourishment: Water - Caitlyn
Sleeping Accommodations: ? - ?
Okay, I have both...a bicycle:
& accomodations:
Bess, would you like to do the bicycle one? Hopefully Seneca will be home in time to help us out with the accommodations, but if not, I'm sure all of us have something we can pick up for that one if we need to.
