I know i'm stretching but I cant think of anything for the detour. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has one.

Tahmina wrote: "For the detour, I am currently reading a cozy mystery where the PI's Partner is a ghost .... does that count as a unusual sidekick?"

Yes it does! I think that's definitely unusual.

I read The Learning Hours by Sara Ney and that will help us out with the N.

I've updated the spreadsheet.

Thanks, Tahmina! for introducing E.J. Copperman and ghost mysteries...I really liked it :) Updated the detour book in SS

I just posted my completion for my detour book.

I haven't heard back from Monica. Maybe the new job is keeping her very busy. Last time she messaged on the thread was 22 May. It's been a month then.

Yes, I’m good with that

Me too!

Agree :)

Entebbe, Uganda

Entebbe is a major town in Central Uganda. On a Lake Victoria peninsula, approximately 37 kilometres (23 mi) southwest of the Ugandan capital, Kampala, it was once the seat of government for the Protectorate of Uganda prior to independence, in 1962. Entebbe is the location of Entebbe International Airport, Uganda's largest commercial and military airport, best known for the dramatic rescue of 100 hostages kidnapped by the resistance group of the PFLP-EO and Revolutionary Cells (RZ) organizations. Entebbe is also the location of State House, the official office and residence of the President of Uganda.
