Submission by Chris Owen

I found something for the detour, and will think about books with I or A that I can read...

Completed Last Train to Istanbul Updated the SS.

Am updating for link to my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The book is set during the period of World War II. But much more than war story. 5 stars from me.

I can read I and A

Completed Most Scandalous Woman: Magda Portal and the Dream of Revolution in Peru - updated SS.

I've been reading this book off and on since November, so this put a kick to me to finish it, and I'm glad I did. A friend wrote it, so I gave it a 5 star, even though this is not the kind of book I generally pick up and love.

It was really interesting, though, and since I got so involved in US politics during 2016, I could see some parallels. Not in the way my friend who wrote it did, which is why I'm cool with giving it 5 stars. It's a political book, written in a way that anyone reading it can apply it to their own lives.

Thank you for sharing your views about the book. Wonder, whether we should at least have a link to our review here. That way, if anyone is interested, they can click and read the review.

Can we link to just a review? I'm really terrible at figuring out the GoodReads interface. Anyhow, I'm the only person who has reviewed it, so it's easy to spot when you click the book link.

But yes! I actually would love to read reviews of what people have read in the Travel Book Club! Let's figure out how to do that!

I think including the link to the review would be a good idea. That way if someone wants to read it they can just click it.

I didn't get one!

Ok guys i finished both my books this weekend. And added it to the spread sheet!!!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Looks like were missing an “I”

Just finished
In His Dreams: Vol. 1 - Secrets

Next stop

Roswell, New Mexico

i Don't think we are done with all the letters so I am not sure we can move on

If we take Sunshine's In His Dreams, that means we're only left with the last A.

Wolf did mention he would take the I and the A.

I've read a book where the authors surname starts with an A.

So we can complete the challenge or wait for Wolf to check in?

Michelle's second book was for the bonus.

Should we count it?

here it is.

You've doubled up on Monica. It's the same book for M and S. Sunshine's book falls under the S. Monica's is the M.

M - Most Scandalous Woman: Magda Portal and the Dream of Revolution in Peru - Monica
A - Agatha Christie | Elephants Can Remember - Michelle

If we're all okay with this and think that Wolf won't be offended, we can move on to the next stop?

Yes :)

We can go ahead and move on. Sorry for not getting back.
