Sunshine (sunshine22222) | 804 comments I didn't see a minimum page count for this challenge.


message 52: by Monica (new)

Monica | 53 comments I'm sorry, I don't do ebooks, so I can't do a detour with Fuerteventura, ES.

Is this one also a spell it out option, or do we read something set in the Canary Islands?

message 59: by Franziska (new)

Franziska (chaoschild) | 207 comments Have we agreed on a team name yet, by the way?


message 60: by Monica (new)

Monica | 53 comments Well, I think most of us liked Gone with the Books - so unless someone is strongly against it, should we go with that?

Are we spelling out CANARY Islands for this one?


message 61: by Franziska (new)

Franziska (chaoschild) | 207 comments I also like the name, so I guess this is our team name now :)

Are we spelling out Canary or Fuerteventura?


message 62: by Tahmina (new)

Tahmina (tpopal) Has R been completed yet?

And we still have not heard from two of our members. How long do we wait until we just assume they will not be joining us?


message 63: by Franziska (new)

Franziska (chaoschild) | 207 comments Oh sorry! I don't know if R is completed yet. I just assumed you were all waiting for me :)
I would give them one more week - maybe we should write them a direct message...?


message 64: by Tahmina (new)

Tahmina (tpopal) Yeah i was thinking that too. Just to be sure they still wanted to participate. Until then I think we should go with Canary. Since there is six of us present.

Franziska (chaoschild) | 207 comments So, Simran answered that she won’t join us in the challenge because she has a bunch of work due to exams.


message 75: by Tahmina (new)

Tahmina (tpopal) Okay so we just have one person to wait for. Should we ask for more people or just us six is good?


message 76: by Sunshine (new)

Sunshine (sunshine22222) | 804 comments I think we should ask for 2 more. It has been almost a month for them to join.

Hello everyone!

Don't you mean N and Y? :)

So I'll do Y. I've got The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey to read. It will probably be done in a few days. Hopefully the 1st of 2nd of February, if that's okay.


message 92: by Tahmina (new)

Tahmina (tpopal) 😳 yup N sorry!!


message 93: by Nicole (last edited Jan 30, 2018 05:49PM) (new)

Nicole P | 1834 comments I can take the N :) I'll be back in a bit with my book choice.


message 94: by Nicole (new)

Nicole P | 1834 comments I'll read Along Came Us by Nicole McLaughlin.

Once I'm done, I just report back here? Do I need to include a review/rating?


message 95: by Sunshine (new)

Sunshine (sunshine22222) | 804 comments No, just the completion date


message 96: by Am (new)

Am | 21 comments I will also do N. My book of choose is The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo


message 97: by Nicole (new)

Nicole P | 1834 comments Done! Completed Along Came Us by Nicole McLaughlin on 01/02/2018.


message 98: by Sunshine (last edited Feb 01, 2018 04:00AM) (new)

Sunshine (sunshine22222) | 804 comments Nicole, I don’t think the book you read on 1/2 will count. We didn’t move the Canary Islands until 1/23.

So, we still need
P
N
Y

before we move to...
BILBAO, SPAIN


message 99: by Tahmina (new)

Tahmina (tpopal) In most of the world outside from America 01/02/2018 means February 1 2018. So I think the book is fine
