Team Around the World in Eighty Days

[Zuza]

Found a book for Y as there were many empty columns with this letter. It is Childrens - Middle Grade, but according to the arbookfinder.com word count is 83600, so it should be fine and it is also tagged as space.

Perfect!

[Halli]

I can finish Insurgent by then! I've got about 5 hours left to it but I've been listening to it at work so should definitely have it done by Friday.

[Silje]

That's great, Halli=)

[Sophie]

Checking in for the next round :)

[Ashleigh]

Rajiv can you add No Way Back Today to your shelf please? Thank you :)

[Rajiv]

Hi Ashleigh :) Just posted my review and added to the shelf. Also finished Britfield and added to the shelf! Yay I am almost touching my goal of 20 books for this round *happy dance*

[Megan]

Just finished my last book for the round :)

[Vicki]

Silje, I added Written in the Ashes to my shelf and I had to change the task because I had it down for 3-word title but it's 4-word. So it was task 179 and now it's 143. Plus, I found the one that you had forgotten to take off last time. :)

[Vicki]

Silje, what time do we need to finish and post our books? I have a Y book (not sure what else yet) that I'm reading today that I can use. If I don't need it too soon.

[Vicki]

The Black Wolf is on my shelf now.

Thanks for letting us know, Megan=)

Perfect! I hadn't had time to look for the missing task:P

The deadline is 9 pm Friday 10th UK time (tomorrow evening). That is one hour before the official deadline, giving Ashleigh and me some time to move things around if necessary=)

[Silje]

I'm almost done with Portrait in Death and realized just now that I've unintentionally skipped like ten books ahead in the series from the last one I read=P=P=P

[Silje]

It is great that so many have read the BOM, I wanted to read it too, but couldn't get hold of it=(

Remember: In order to get points for BOM participation you have to answer DQs from three parts of the book as a minimum.

Rajiv and Megan are done. Vicki has answered 2, Logan and Maritza 1 (let me know if I missed a post). Post a message here when you have answered three or more DQ-rounds so that we can add those 20 extra points=) It doesn't have to be for round 2, if you don't have time right now, the points can go over into round 3. If you don't want to answer more DQ, that's fine, but let us know about that too.

[Halli]

Just finished Insurgent & that will be it for me this round!

[Silje]

Halli wrote: "Just finished Insurgent & that will be it for me this round!"

Good job on the reading! Thanks for letting us know, Halli=)

[Silje]

Rajiv, for the book No Way Back Today, did you read the ebook version where there is no page number added? Or the paperback version with the page number you've added?

I ask because if you read the ebook (or kindle) we can ask the librarians to add the correct number of pages to the main page for that book=)

[Silje]

Halli, do you have the link to the recommendation by Denise regarding Insurgent? I can't seem to find it, but I have been staring at this screen for way too long, so that might be the reason=P

Will go to round three and have copy of next BOM.

[Maritza]

What is deadline in US time?

[Silje]

Maritza wrote: "What is deadline in US time?"

For New York the deadline is 4pm Friday 10th, I think. (official deadline is 5pm). Right now it is 24h until you have to be done reading. There is a link to the official deadline at the top of page 7.

I will do mine. It's a busy week having a family get together. :)

Aaah no it was actually the paperback sent by the publisher..I put in the wrong addition when posting my review..I have changed it now :) Thanks!

Yes, I can imagine your schedule is full! I hope you are enjoying yourself=) Like I said, there's no trouble pushing the BOM questions to round 3 if you'd rather just spend the time with your family=)

[Vicki]

Silje, I went on over and posted the rest of my answers to all the daily questions so you can count my points. :)

[Vicki]

My husband didn’t sleep well last night and he has been taking a nap, so I took that time to go ahead and answer the questions. Most of my family is down on the beach but I am enjoying the weather and my book from my patio while I listen to the waves and look up and see them once in a while. The weather is absolutely perfect at 77° and with a nice breeze.

That sounds truly peaceful=)

[Halli]

I actually didn’t pick that task.. I think someone else added it and I just chose to believe them.. 🤣 I’ll look and see see what other task we can use!

[Halli]

Changed it to task 135 - one word title

[Silje]

Haha, how weird=P=P

[Silje]

I'm currently making a tab with all the recommended books, so it will be easier for everyone to find a book or check if a particular book is on the list=)

[Tara]

I won't be finishing anything else before the end of this round.

Also wanted to add, we will be on vacation from July 17-29. I will have cell service, but won't have access to a computer. I will still be reading, so when I finish I will post an update here in the comments from my phone and hopefully someone can add my info to the spreadsheet for me.

[[deleted user]]

I have one more book listed for round 2 that I will be finishing tomorrow by noon EST. That will be ok, right? Will check in once I've updated the spreadsheet

[Logan]

Updated my second book in the sheet. I’m trying to finish Sun Down Motel before cutoff.

[Silje]

Thanks for letting us know, Tara. Of course you can post your books here, Ashleigh or I will add the book for you, just remember to give us as many letter-options as possible=)

Where are you going on holiday?

[Silje]

That's fine, Sarah=)

[Silje]

Great, Logan=)

We are heading out west. We’re going out to South Dakota where we will be renting an RV. Then it’ll be off to Yellowstone where we’ll spend a few days and then we’ll slowly make our way back to South Dakota. Other than Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore we really don’t have any set plans. Just going to see where the RV leads us haha. This is the first time we’ve ever done anything like this. We normally go on cruises, but seeing as how that’s not possible (or smart) right now we decided to try the camping thing. Hopefully we enjoy it because we’re certainly going all in 😂

Oh wow that sounds amazing! Literally a dream holiday right there!

[Kim]

Posted my last book for Round 2. Can’t wait to see what our next word is!

I will also be picking up a copy of Dear Martin today for the BOTM discussion.

[Rajiv]

Hi Ashleigh & Silje

I have completed all my books for round 2 :) Unfortunately, there are 2 books (Keep my heart in San Francisco, Brother's Keeper) that I could not finish today before the deadline. I will use it for the next round.

This was a good reading round for me! I'm feeling very happy for having read so many books :)

[Zuza]

Finished my last book for this round and updated the spreadsheet.

[[deleted user]]

My last book for this round is done, and I have updated the spreadsheet.

Thanks!

That is so fun. We used to do this alot ahen I was younger. The RV experience is fun. Enjoy

[Silje]

Great job with the reading everyone, we've read a lot more books this round than the last=)

Rajiv, don't worry about the books you didn't manage to read, they'll probably work for the next round too=) I'll see if I can manage to finish the book I read now before the deadline to replace Brother's Keeper on the Y so that we don't lose a word. Or does anyone know if one of the other books read for another letter can work for a Y?

[Silje]

That sounds like a wonderful trip! I think many will go on road trips this summer. We have sold so many road maps and hiking maps in the store=P

[Silje]

Sophie, have you had time to take a look at the tasks for your books?
