Be sure to get your review up and posted in the Compass Reviews.


message 253: by Booknblues (new)

Booknblues | 11518 comments 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'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

Theresa | 14893 comments 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 (nancyjjj) | 10608 comments 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

Was your last book set in Beijing?


message 284: by Theresa (last edited Apr 09, 2025 02:14PM) (new)

Theresa | 14893 comments 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

message 289: by Theresa (new)

Theresa | 14893 comments @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.

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.


message 296: by Rachel N. (new)

Rachel N. | 2179 comments 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.

NancyJ (nancyjjj) | 10608 comments I needed to use a free ticket this turn, and then earned another with

The Music of Bees by Eileen Garvin

Thanks for the recommendation!

I’m ready for my next spin please
