[[deleted user]]

Do you still need new members?

[Tahmina]

I think our team is full at the moment. We added three new ppl. Sorry!!!

[Sunshine]

I completed my book and posted on the spreadsheet.

I’ll see if I can add one in for the detour.

[Franziska]

We still need a book for I, right? I will think about one...

[Nicole]

I'll also look what I have for 'I' and maybe a book comes up that will help the detour.

[Kavitha]

I completed a book for detour with character Jayanta. Added to the spreadsheet.

[Sunshine]

I found a book with a Jack character. I will have the book completed by Sunday.

[Kavitha]

Yoohoo! with four of us reading detour (Monica, Nicole, Sunshine and me), we can get 25 additional points like we got in previous round!

[Wolf (Alpha)]

I can read Inkheart for I.

[Nicole]

I have a book with Jaxon as a character. I'll have it done by next week.

I also have a book starting with 'I'. Do we need it as well?

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Can we use letters twice?

[Kavitha]

Yes. The letters can be repeated as there are more members than the letters.

[Franziska]

Ok, if the letters can be repeated then I would use B as well (since some people have books for "i").

[Kavitha]

Nicole and Sunshine, how do you find the book with J character? I tried and tried and actually gave up! Lo behold, I was reading a book that is a sequel which has a J character.

[Tahmina]

[Tahmina]

Ohh forgot to add that they took out the members that are no longer participating and added Wolf, Michelle and Kavitha!

[Kavitha]

Oh! thanks, Sunshine!!

@Tahmina, no, need not be the main character. One character...that's my understanding. Maybe check with travel agent?

6. Bahrain (BH) - Alor Setar (MY)

[Nicole]

City in Malaysia. I can guarantee I don't have books set in Malaysia or Malaysian authors. Spell it out option?

[Tahmina]

Alor Setar (MY)

Alor Setar (Jawi: الور ستار), formerly known as Alor Star from 2004–2008,[2] is a city and the state capital of Kedah, Malaysia. It is the second largest town in the state after Sungai Petani based on the population and one of the important cities in the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia along the longest expressway, located 400 km from Kuala Lumpur and 79 km (49 mi) north of George Town, Penang. The city is home to the Central State Administration Centre and is the administrative centre of Kota Setar District.

Alor Setar is one of the unique cities and towns in Malaysia because both government and private sectors as well as schools in this city known as the 'tip of Malaysia' here operates from Sunday to Thursday every week as they observe a Friday-Saturday weekend, along with Kelantan, Terengganu and Johor, thus setting it apart from other populated areas in the country e.g. Kuala Lumpur.

Its location along the main travel route from Malaysia to Thailand has long made it a major transportation hub in the northern Malay Peninsula. At present, the city covers a land area of 666 square kilometres, which is occupied by more than 300,000 inhabitants (as per the 2010 census). At the local government level, Alor Setar is administered by the Alor Setar City Council.

The city is served by the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport, which began operations in 2006. The airport is not served by any commercial international flights; however, during the Haj season, there are special flights available for Muslim pilgrims journeying to Saudi Arabia to perform the Haj. The city is connected to other parts of Peninsular Malaysia by the North–South Expressway, the Shahab Perdana Bus Station and the Alor Setar railway station. The city's Kuala Kedah Jetty is served by ferries linking the city with the popular resort island of Langkawi.

Alor Setar is the birthplace of two Prime Ministers, YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's first Prime Minister, and Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, Malaysia's fourth Prime Minister.
