I think we've had several transportation books posted, so don't go out of your way. Hopefully Vicky will get a chance to do an update soon, because I think there's a bunch of books not on the spreadsheet right now.
I wasn't going to look until Vicky updates. I have a few books I need to read for other challenges that will hopefully work for TWT tasks.

Otherwise, I have to swap back and forth between the task lists and the spreadsheet and it gets a little cumbersome. Thanks! :D
