I can take the S
Submission by Chris Owen

[Franziska]

I found something for the detour, and will think about books with I or A that I can read...

[Kavitha]

Completed Last Train to Istanbul Updated the SS.

Am updating for link to my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The book is set during the period of World War II. But much more than war story. 5 stars from me.

[Wolf (Alpha)]

I can read I and A

[Monica]

Completed Most Scandalous Woman: Magda Portal and the Dream of Revolution in Peru - updated SS.

I've been reading this book off and on since November, so this put a kick to me to finish it, and I'm glad I did. A friend wrote it, so I gave it a 5 star, even though this is not the kind of book I generally pick up and love.

It was really interesting, though, and since I got so involved in US politics during 2016, I could see some parallels. Not in the way my friend who wrote it did, which is why I'm cool with giving it 5 stars. It's a political book, written in a way that anyone reading it can apply it to their own lives.

Thank you for sharing your views about the book. Wonder, whether we should at least have a link to our review here. That way, if anyone is interested, they can click and read the review.

Can we link to just a review? I'm really terrible at figuring out the GoodReads interface. Anyhow, I'm the only person who has reviewed it, so it's easy to spot when you click the book link.

But yes! I actually would love to read reviews of what people have read in the Travel Book Club! Let's figure out how to do that!

I think including the link to the review would be a good idea. That way if someone wants to read it they can just click it.

[Tahmina]

Ok guys i finished both my books this weekend. And added it to the spread sheet!!!

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

[Sunshine]

Looks like were missing an “I”

[Sunshine]

Just finished
In His Dreams: Vol. 1 - Secrets

[Sunshine]

Next stop

Roswell, New Mexico

[Tahmina]

i Don't think we are done with all the letters so I am not sure we can move on

[Nicole]

If we take Sunshine's In His Dreams, that means we're only left with the last A.

Wolf did mention he would take the I and the A.

I've read a book where the authors surname starts with an A.

So we can complete the challenge or wait for Wolf to check in?

[Nicole]

Michelle's second book was for the bonus.

You've doubled up on Monica. It's the same book for M and S. Sunshine's book falls under the S. Monica's is the M.

We can go ahead and move on. Sorry for not getting back.
