Lexi | 4087 comments I just heard back and we are off on our next trip. Our starting point is Gunnison, USA. I would enjoy doing the detour on this leg. It is a book from this list: /list/show/9...


message 502: by Sam (new)

Sam | 1663 comments I could do that. Number 207 is Shiver and that is on my TBR.


message 503: by Eunice (new)

Eunice | 666 comments I'd probably do Book Thief or Graceling for this.

I will never do any major goodreads list because I only read MM romance.

If you feel like this will hold you back, I can step off before we get started on this leg. I would harbor no ill-will about it. I know my reading selection is extremely limited, not mainstream, and that I am wholly unwilling to be flexible about it.

In addition to detour 1, I wouldn't consider detour 8, because I am sure books I read never appear on any goodreads "top" shelves or lists.


message 505: by Brandy (new)

Brandy (fantasyfan101) | 167 comments I'm fine with that.

Lexi | 4087 comments Susan, even if we do this detour. You are a great addition to spell it out. We all have different strengths and all do not have to do every leg. The list is over 2000 books long. Did you look to see if any MM are on it? You could also read Cat in the Hat technically.

(I am not attempting to answer for others, but I figured I should as I was the one who wanted the detour).


message 507: by Susan A (new)

Susan A | 461 comments You know, I kind of forgot that I didn't have to do the detour. So some of you can do the detour, and I just skip this one right? As long as I'm not holding the team back, I'm good with staying.

I didn't actually look through the list because they drive me crazy. I hate looking through really long lists.

Melissa (ladybug) | 1048 comments I am fine with the list :) will be reading Atonement


message 509: by Susan A (new)

Susan A | 461 comments I have a question.

From the spreadsheet:
--Each team will be able to do a maximum of 5 detours over the course of the challenge

Does this mean 5 detours over the course of the challenge as a whole or just a particular itinerary?


message 510: by Sam (new)

Sam | 1663 comments I believe it means the particular itinerary.

I was just coming to remind you that not everyone has to do the detours, but I see that Xelly beat me to it.


message 512: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4087 comments Read my book for the detour and started a new spreadsheet.

Well I am also out of this detour for the Same reason. Actually found a M/M sci fi book I love but have to wait for hold from library to arrive as I refuse to pay $7.99 for a kindle book.


message 514: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4087 comments Checking in with everyone, two people have done the detour so we need two more before we can move on and everyone can play again.


message 515: by Sam (new)

Sam | 1663 comments I have my book picked out and should get to it soon.


message 516: by Melissa (ladybug) (new)

Melissa (ladybug) | 1048 comments Reading my book. :)


message 517: by Brandy (new)

Brandy (fantasyfan101) | 167 comments I have seen that some groups do something with baggage that allows a team to save books that are finished during a challenge but not used. How does this work?


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments just got my book 10 minutes ago. should be done tomorrow.

My understanding is that we decided to abandon this a few rounds ago. It really wasn't needed. For me at least, it was pointless recording.


message 520: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4087 comments We did discuss and abandon it. For those that read many more than the challenge required, it just added work and we tend to finish without issue anyways.


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments Finished Magic's Pawn for detour.


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments How are you guys doing on the detour we have three read so far need one more for minimum or 3 more if we want to do the 6.


message 523: by Sam (new)

Sam | 1663 comments I'm starting mine tonight. Shouldn't take me long to read it.


message 524: by Melissa (ladybug) (new)

Melissa (ladybug) | 1048 comments Finished Atonement on the 30th. I just don't have chance to put on the spreadsheet yet. Can someone add for me? Thanks!


message 525: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4087 comments Melissa, added yours. Do you remember what number it was? We will wait for Sam and Eunice.


message 526: by Melissa (ladybug) (last edited Apr 02, 2017 06:54PM) (new)

Melissa (ladybug) | 1048 comments It is #327. Thank you, Xelly! :)


message 527: by Sam (new)

Sam | 1663 comments Shiver- Maggie Stiefvater- 4/3/17

It was number 207 on the list.


message 528: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4087 comments Sam, added it, thank you. Just waiting on Eunice.


message 529: by Eunice (last edited Apr 04, 2017 03:16AM) (new)

Eunice | 666 comments Done with The Book Thief. Just going to put it on the spreadsheet now.


message 530: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4087 comments I added you, Eunice. I also set up a new sheet for the next place. I set up spell-it-out since we just did a detour, but if everyone really wants to read about a farm, we can change it.


message 531: by Sam (new)

Sam | 1663 comments What are we spelling out?


message 532: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4087 comments Florence, (also United States if we want to)


message 533: by Sam (new)

Sam | 1663 comments Thanks.


message 534: by Eunice (new)

Eunice | 666 comments Thanks, Xelly! Also, I'm reading a book with an S author at the moment.


message 535: by Melissa (ladybug) (new)

Melissa (ladybug) | 1048 comments Read Reel Estate Rip-Off for "R" in Florence


message 536: by Roger - president of NBR United - (last edited Apr 06, 2017 04:55PM) (new)

Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments I just read Misfits by Garrett Leigh started on the 5 and finished today for the "L"
Also Treasure for Treasure by R. Cooper, started April 3 and Finished on April 5 for the "C". Also Starting Fierce & Fabulous for the "F". all are on the sheet.


message 537: by Susan A (new)

Susan A | 461 comments I added a few books. I hope you don't mind, but I added a list of our teammates to the spreadsheet, off to the side. I find it useful to see who hasn't claimed a letter yet. This prevents me from taking too many spots.

We have
E in Florence left

in United States, we have all but the D A and Ss left.


message 538: by Roger - president of NBR United - (last edited Apr 07, 2017 02:56PM) (new)

Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments I Will be Taking the U as it is a harder letter to come by and my Next read Strays has a "U" for the Series title Urban Souls. Finished Fierce & Fabulous. Hoping to leave Letters for Brandy and Sam who I believe are the two who have claimed letters yet.


message 539: by Brandy (new)

Brandy (fantasyfan101) | 167 comments I finished The Princess Diarist today if we can use that somewhere. I am also reading Norse Mythology and The Last Akon if either of those for. I will be done with both by the end of Monday.


message 540: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4087 comments We are still waiting on Sam to claim a letter. Brandy, I added you for Princess Diarist and Norse Mythology. Eunice, there is still an S claimed for you.

Otherwise, we need T,T,T E,E and I. Sam if none of these work, feel free to claim one of mine.


message 541: by Sam (new)

Sam | 1663 comments I can do a T. Might even be able to do a second T. Sorry, I've been reading a lot of G titles recently, which don't really help us any.


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments I can claim one of the T's


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments OK I put my book for the T and Sam's claim for a T on the sheet. Leaving a T, E, E, And I to be claimed.


message 544: by Brandy (new)

Brandy (fantasyfan101) | 167 comments Do characters names count? I am reading Fall Of The Chosen. One of the main characters is East.


message 545: by Susan A (new)

Susan A | 461 comments Yes they count


message 546: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4087 comments Added Brandy's E and moved mine around to claim an E.

All we need now is a T and to finish the 5 books that are in progress.


message 547: by Susan A (new)

Susan A | 461 comments I marked my book completed - In the Wreckage


message 548: by Brandy (new)

Brandy (fantasyfan101) | 167 comments I finished my books on the sheet and filled them in. I am starting The Shadows. Main character is Trez. It's a big book so it may take me 5-7 days to finish but it's a T if we need to use it. I'm fine with using someone else's too.


message 549: by Sam (last edited Apr 15, 2017 02:13AM) (new)

Sam | 1663 comments I'll be starting my T book this evening and should have it done by tomorrow if I'm lucky, Monday by the latest.


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 612 comments Just waiting for Sam to finish his T book. I took the unclaimed T because I had to finish a borrowed book before it got automatically returned.
