Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I'll do the A, then.

Okay let's see what we have so far...

S - Lexi
A - Josie (2)
N - Jenny (2)
T - Chava
I - Lisa
A - Jenny (2)
G - Eternity
O - Josie (2)

I can take an A

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

So we need an A, N and I

Lisa, Abir, Pigletto - are you good with one of those?

If we can't do all the letters, we could try CHILE...

If we go with CHILE I can do an L - The Lovely Bones

C
H - Josie
I
L - Jenny
E

I can do the other A if you need me to. I'm currently reading A Thousand Nights.

If we do Chile I can do H.

Let's try and do the longer word...

I can do either I or N.. I checked the rules and series names counts "In Death" by J D Robb
or Brenda Novak .

Let me know which one we need.

I can take the N in Santiago if no one else can...

Pink Balloons and Other Deadly Things by Nancy Tesler

Does anyone know if we can read graphic novels? If so I have an I book too

by Ian Edginton

Good one Jenny. I'll take the I then.

So that covers all the letters for Santiago.

You take the I - I have the N covered

Abir and Pigletto, Josie and I took two letters but if you can read for A, N or O, you can have one of those letters and we'll just read for one letter.

I updated our tracking spreadsheet with our current stop

I had a quick look over the rules and also in the Lounge section. There was a discussion about graphic novels and the fact that as this Game has no minimum word count graphic novels would in fact count.

Also any books can be used as long as they were read after we were allocated our team number. So we can go back into our read books since then and use them any time in the challenge.

Nice! Thanks Lisa!

I actually finished Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey this morning. It could work as an "A" book in a pinch.

I completed The Target Committee for T

I'll take one of the A's

Great Abir.

@Eternity, how's your book going? You're still doing the G book right?

Yep! Almost done :)

That's exciting. We've nearly completed Economy Class.

Do we want to continue on? Here's what happens next...

When your team has completed all eight stops

◈ At the end of the trip (minimum 8 weeks), the team can decide if they want to get a new itinerary and start a new trip, or pat themselves on the back and disband :)

◈ Your first trip as a team is in Economy class. Once you have completed, if you decide to go again as a team, then you are upgraded to Business Class. In Business Class you can do a maximum of six detours (rather than 5).
If your team decide to go for a third trip, because you have accumulated enough frequent flyer points, you are upgraded to first class, and you can do a maximum of seven detours.

I'm really enjoying the challenge and happy to continue on.,

I would love to continue on.

Onward!

yeah, I am liking my travelling companions and I've never flown business class. I'm up for more too :)

I'm in too.

Me too!

Me too ... we're reading books anyway, why not have fun while doing it

@Eternity, do you want to keep going? Did you finish your "G" book?

G book just in case...

You're Loved No Matter What: Freeing Your Heart from the Need to Be Perfect by Holley Gerthread 9/13, 4 stars

I sent a PM to the NBRC Travel Agent asking for our next itinerary on business class.

Great Jenny, looking forward to the Upgrade!

God, I'm so sorry! I've been crazy busy, and I must have forgotten to update! I finished the Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero 24/09/17.

As for continuing, is it okay if I step down. I've just been kind of crazy recently and I'm not sure I'd be able to participate much. I wouldn't want to hold the team back.

Have really enjoyed travelling with you Eternity.... we all know what it is like when real life kicks our butt! Hope to see you around again soon.

Eternity it's fine. This is supposed to be fun and not stressful and I understand when RL (real life) takes over sometimes. Hope to see you around too!

Good luck, Eternity! I hope things calm down for you soon.

I sent a PM to the NBRC Travel Agent and the NBRC Moderators asking for our next itinerary. Does someone want to see if there are any hitchhikers that want to join our team inasmuch as Eternity has to step down?

Yes, I think we can advertise on the Hitch hiker thread for a new team member.
