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

Ready for my next spin!

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

NP. I have plenty o..." Nothing in NZ or Chile?

NP...."
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.

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

Was your last book set in Beijing?"
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.

Thanks!

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.

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.
