So, we still need

N
Y

before we move to...
BILBAO, SPAIN"

P? Is that right?

Sorry guys! Yeah. I write my dates like that. I'll be sure to use the American way to avoid confusion.

[Franziska]

Ive finished my book! But the app doesn’t allow me to copy posts... so just to let you know :)

[Tahmina]

Thank you!!! :)

[Tahmina]

Franziska wrote: "Thank you!!! :)"

No Problem!!

We still need 'Y' though. Has anyone got a Y book. I have one that I want to start soon but I can start it sooner if no one else does.

I don't have a Y book on this months tbr-pile. :(

[Nicole]

I read The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen on 01/27. Would that count? Could we ignore the article?

[Tahmina]

Yes!!!!!!!

[Nicole]

Yay!!!

[Tahmina]

Yay!! we're done

Next Stop is:

Bilbao (ES): Bilbao (/bɪlˈbaʊ, -ˈbɑːoʊ/;[3] Spanish: [bilˈβao]; Basque: Bilbo [bilβo]) is a city in northern Spain, the largest city in the province of Biscay and in the Basque Country as a whole.

Detour for the Stop: Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as ebook - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable

I am not sure what the Detour description means. It makes no sense to me. Anyway, should we do a spell out or author from the country or detour?

[Sunshine]

See the link below.
The "Top Shelf" of this page has a tag has "ebook"

[Franziska]

Well, we did two spell outs... I am not sure what you guys think, but maybe we could go with spanish authors?

[Tahmina]

Franziska wrote: "Well, we did two spell outs... I am not sure what you guys think, but maybe we could go with spanish authors?"

I agree!

[Sunshine]

I think that we can do either:
An author or book set in Spain.

[Loralie]

I don't think I own a book neither set in Spain nor by a Spanish author. :(

[Nicole]

I don't have a book by a Spanish author or set in Spain :( But if needs be I'm sure I can hunt one down.

[Monica]

*Looking for Spanish book!*

[Sunshine]

Reading: The Rain in Spain

How it fits: Takes place in Spain

[Franziska]

I can recommend everything of Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It takes place in Barcelona and I love his books. The most popular is Shadow of the winds, which is really really good.

[Franziska]

Guys, just one organizational question.. how do you know which our next stop is ? Just wondering since some of you write it as soon as we finish our last task :D

and another question, should we report our points to the NBRC travel agent? It says so in the official rules.

[Tahmina]

If you go to the first comment or second there’s a link to our itinerary.

[Franziska]

AH!! Thank you. I wonder how I couldn't see it...

[Monica]

I'll be reading The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

ME Too!!

[Tahmina]

If you need a list of books for Spain you can just google (books set in Spain) and a list shows up.

[Sunshine]

I have completing a tracking sheet on tab 2 of the spreadsheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

We can enter our books there
The first page of the spreadsheet can be used to track points.

Thank You!!!

[Loralie]

Is there a rule or detour for people who don't have a book that fits the challenge? Because I don't have one and I already bought a sh....load of books this month. Therefore I'm kind of on a budget right now. :(

[Tahmina]

I think we have to decide to take the detour as a group. So we are supposed to pick one option and go from there.

[Loralie]

That's a bummer. I guess I have to go through all of my books, one by one, and check if there is one that fits the bill. This will take a while. I will let you guys know as soon as I'm done.

[Monica]

@Tahmina - I haven't read that book since high school. I hope I enjoy it now more than I did then! :P

I'm reading it with my sisters. I think my middle sister picked. We try to read one book a month so i am hoping that i enjoy it too!

[Loralie]

I just ordered this poetry collection. It was the only thing that interested me at all.

That looks really interesting. Hadn't heard of him, but see that he was a larger than life figure in the Spanish Civil War. Thanks for the link.

[Nicole]

I'm going to see what I have and if I have nothing I'll look on Listopia.

[Nicole]

Would The Alchemist fit the criteria?

[Nicole]

Never mind. I'm going to read By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept. I just found it while looking for my copy of the The Alchemist. Totally forgot I had it.

[Tahmina]

Alchemist would have worked too. He is from Spain!
