I am dead in the water and want to move into the central US. I would like to use a ticket to head Northwest. That will give me plenty of options. Thanks.

Thanks Fran. I want to get out of England, so I am going to try the books I have available for Glasgow first
I've decided for my 3rd spin, I want to use one of my free tickets and pick south.
My review is posted and I'm ready for a new direction on Wednesday, March 12.

Today is International Women's Day and March is Women's History Month (which unfortunately Google has taken it off their calendars)https://www.internationalwomensday.co...
https://www.womenshistory.org/womens-...
I would like to highlight it and the national and international importance of women throughout history, so this month if you read a book in your travels on compass that also has 5 tags for Strong Women you will earn an extra free pass. Please note it when you post your review here.

I plan to request a spin later today. I keep getting interrupted and I have to leave soon.
Not the spin I was hoping for but I can make that work.
I feel like I am stuck in a travel loop: E, SW, NE, SW....lol.Yes, yes, I know I can use one of my tickets/free passes. But, a small part of me want to see just how long this loop might continue. :) :)

I've been sent back East from which I came! However, I have no dearth of crime fiction to read along the route. This time will be Egypt I believe.
I am thrilled because all I’ve had is been north and east and I’ve been stuck in Latvia and I was begging for something south. Southeast is perfect. I have a bunch of books up that fit that. China and Japan and New Zealand. Honestly if I could’ve picked, it would have been this.

Thanks Fran! South. I have a book in Bolivia I’ve been trying to get to for a long time. It might be closer to SE than S. If it doesn’t work, I’m going to use a free ticket to go NE to Rhode Island to read a TOB book that Joy recommended. Or I’ll go NW to read Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich (I’m next on the waiting list).

I think The Compass' spinner has checked out my TBR Towers and knows I have many crime fiction options in Africa, India and I haven't even started on Japan. Of course also Europe and US and even China.
I am going to use one of my free tickets this time as travel from San Francisco to the NW is rather limited. I choose to go East.
So, I'm not loving my China book and I am trashing it. But I still have a Japan and a New Zealand on tap....
I'm ready for my next spin on Wedensday, thanks.

(My planned book, Daughter of Fortune, did not work out. I'm hoping for a new direction for travel.)
My review is posted and I'm ready for another spin of the Compass wheel on Wednesday.
I am ready for my next spin, please. Thanks!
I won't be needing a new spin for Wednesday, after all. I've just started a new book which will take me in my current direction, South.Please take me off the list. Thanks!

Just noticed - Fran, I think you mean Spins for 3/26...

That would work. Cambridge and Edinburgh would work as well and there are plenty of books set in either.
