There has been much talk about eggs recently and as April seems to be the perfect time to bring them to the forefront we will offer a chance to earn a free ticket.

If on your travels in April, you read a book which has an animal which lays an egg on the cover, in the title or author's name you will earn a free ticket.

Be sure to note in your compass review.

I am ready for my next spin.

I'm not having any success with my spins. I am going to use another free ticket. (only one left?) I will be traveling NW to Morocco and reading:
A House in Fez: Building a Life in the Ancient Heart of Morocco - Suzanna Clarke

LOL - I don't think any of the crime fiction I have lined up so far for April is directly west ... and here I am back on the lattitude parallels just farther south than before.

NP. I have plenty of crime fiction around here and in the TBR Towers to have a selection that fit.

Well, NZ is east so that's no good (I can't tell you how many times I've read E and W and vice versa or looked it up on the map incorrectly. It's almost embarrassing). However, I can do 3 or more countries in southern Africa and Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile in South America. I happen to have longtime clients who retired to Uruguay and spend half the year there. I've asked them for a recommendation - crime fiction of course. I already did a fabulous one in Argentina and want to switch it up, explore more.

[NancyJ]

Yippee I can finally get to Bolivia to read The Puma Years. Bonus - there is a bird, butterfly, dragonfly and spider on the cover. It’s set in the Amazon rain forest so it also fits the jungle prompt in play harder

[Joanne]

Fran, I am going to use one of my free passes and change my direction to SE.

Was your last book set in Beijing?

[Theresa]

I'm heading south again - from Montevideo Uruguay. I may be back in Argentina or I think there's crime fiction set in the Falklands. Otherwise I'll have to see what crime fiction the penguins of Antarctica have published - a noir cold-case perhaps?

Since nothing I have on deck will immediately fit, I'll be sitting back on this challenge for a couple weeks.

Yes, I used a free direction to get there. See post #270

Yes, Jen M, it must be you. On the first page of this thread is a summary of our spins, and SE is your latest spin. JenK’s last spin was N last week, and there is no other Jen or Jennifer.

Jen M - California - N - Cape Disappointment, Washington - E - Lisbon Falls, Maine; then to Dallas, Texas - W- Tombstone, AZ - NW - Joseph, OR - SE

@BooknBlues - I'm going to use one of my detour tickets - first time - to go to Stockholm, Sweden from Montevideo, Uruguay. I am considering that a North direction, not a NorthEast direction - would you agree? I'm fine if it's either N or NE, just want us to agree.

I have a crime fiction book stacked up to read this month that is set in Sweden and would give me an animal book for the mini-challenge, while fitting some other challenges. It's nice and efficient and helps with my limited reading schedule.

It is one of those in-between, NEbN, which is a little closer NE than N. So I think you are safer to go NE.

I thought your Southerly direction might be a bit problematic.

Thanks. I am of course fine with NE ... it is so in between ... and since I am picking the direction, we can and did reach agreement!

I sourced a couple South of Montevideo, especially a crime book in the Falklands, but there is a several week wait for the library ebook for that one. I have for sure no crime fiction that fits in my TBR.

Fran, I'm ready for a new spin on April 16th. I just finished my book. The review has been posted.

So straight west from the Falkland Islands is well, ocean.

I am thinking New Zealand which is just a tiny bit northwest of The Falklands but it's more west than NW, so do you think that would work?

I think that New Zealand would work, it is just slightly North of a true west.

[Rachel N.]

I'm ready for a spin on the 16th. I couldn't find anything on my tbr that was north or my location so I used a free ticket to move southeast to New Orleans, Louisiana.
