NBRC Travel Agent | 368 comments Your itinerary is

When you have a team name, just let me know and I'll update this thread name :)

First stop - Madinah, Saudi Arabia

NBRC Travel Agent | 368 comments So just to get you started...

Your first stop is Madinah, Saudi Arabia

You can choose as a team to:
TASK
- Read books set in Saudi Arabia, or by Arabian authors or
- Do a spell-it-out of Madinah or Saudi Arabia

OR
You can elect to do the detour, which for this stop, means that four of you need to "Read a book where the edition you are reading was published on the 15th of a month"

message 6: by Jarvis (new)

Jarvis I suggest we do Spell it out for this one. Do share what you guys feels :)


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments I am with you on Spell it out the question is do we do the city or the Country I am starting a book with the D covered because either way we go we need the D.


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments Also have to pick a team name my suggestion is Have Books, Will Travel


message 9: by Jarvis (new)

Jarvis Let the other members come and put in there suggestions .

I will suggest city name though.

And I started An Agatha Christie book. It will cover A in both the cases :)


message 10: by Jarvis (new)

message 18: by Roger - president of NBR United - (last edited Aug 25, 2016 07:59AM) (new)

70% done with Winter Blom which fits A B(Andy Blom) and D (author D.J. Jamison).

Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments We haven't seen all of our team yet but I think we should do Madinah. So far the only name suggestion is

Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments SO is anyone opposed to "Booking it Around the World"? If not, I suggest we accept that as the team name.


message 37: by Melissa (ladybug) (last edited Aug 26, 2016 06:34PM) (new)

Melissa (ladybug) | 1048 comments No problem with name :)

message 40: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4077 comments I've read two but neither help with letters.

The Drowning Eyes by Emily Foster
Six-Gun Snow White by Catherynne M. Valente


message 41: by Jarvis (last edited Aug 26, 2016 07:05AM) (new)

Jarvis We can use Character names too.
What are the main characters' names?


message 42: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4077 comments Eyes - Tazir, Chaqal, Shina, Kodin

Snow White- Mr. and Mrs. H, Snow White, Deer boy, Dude,

Those are main characters and the second one was a little odd, the lack of full names being the least of it.


message 43: by Irene (last edited Aug 26, 2016 02:49PM) (new)

Irene (raenne) I've finished The Ice Twins just now :)

Edit: Main characters names are Sarah, Angus, Lydia and Kirstie.
