Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments Planning for our next stop...

we can choose the detour Male Author Name Top 100

Or choose a spell it out or authors/stories in that country
Alor Setar or Malaysia for spell-it-out (some of us will need to read 2 books if we choose this option)
Malaysia for stories/authors Malaysian Authors or Books set in Malaysia

What do you all feel like doing at our next stop?


message 210: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments I would vote for either male author name detour, or the spell-it-out for Malaysia or Alor Setar (I'm good with either one).


message 211: by Chava (new)

Chava | 1522 comments I am voting spell it out so I can use the book I was going to use for this week's spell out :)


message 212: by Bee (new)

Bee (abirbee) | 667 comments I finished my book for this week spell it out. Undeniably Chosen. the Character's name is Ava
I'm good with both. But if we'll do the spell it out I think we should go with Alor Setar... We can use a little bit f challenge


message 213: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments I'm good with Alor Setar for spell it out...

message 218: by Jammin Jenny (last edited Sep 02, 2017 06:45PM) (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments @Lisa, Lexi and Eternity - are you good with spell-it-out for our next stop? So far we are planning on

A - Abir
L - Jenny
O - Pigletto
R - Lexi
S - Josie
E -
T - Chava
A - Lisa
R - Eternity

At least one of us will need to read 2 books, if everyone else can read for at least 1 letter. I can read for two letters - the only letter NOT in my plan for next week is "O" so if someone can take that I can take two letters.

If you can't read for at least one letter next week, let us know so someone else can read for two letters.


message 219: by [deleted user] (new)

I'll take O.


message 220: by Bee (new)

Bee (abirbee) | 667 comments I'll take an A then, since I'm reading Madonna in a Fur Coat by Sabahattin Ali. when I'm done I'll try to takle another letter, not sure which one yet but you'll when I do


message 221: by Lexi (new)

Lexi I am fine with it. You can put me down for an "R"


message 222: by Jammin Jenny (last edited Aug 31, 2017 05:56PM) (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments I'm taking either the other "R" or the "L" with RAZORBACK: gripping crime fiction, full of suspense by Lou Holly. Whatever works best for the team...


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments I can do the e or a for the next spell it out.


message 224: by [deleted user] (new)

I could take the other R with Landline by Rainbow Rowell.


message 225: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments So we have all the letters except ETA

Lisa can take E or A

Chava what letter speaks to you?


message 226: by Chava (new)

Chava | 1522 comments I'll take T for Travis, character in Someone Is Watching


message 227: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments Cool! Lisa I put you down for the second A.

That leaves E open for whomever finishes their first spell-it-out to claim another one. Sound fair?


message 228: by Chava (new)

Chava | 1522 comments We now know why I can't catch my breath, I have an pneumomia. I'll try to get my reading done for the week, but health (including sleep) will have to come first.

Yes definitely your health comes first! Just let us know if you won't be able to read and someone else can pick up the slack!
