I was on spot 30, so this puts me on spot 36, European Vacation - not quite far enough to pass Go and collect a little extra money. Darn. The requirements:
Read a book that involves travel to Europe, or that has an image of any European city or monument on the cover, or that the letters of the title can spell the name of any European city that I visited in my trip (Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Geneva, Rome, Florence, Venice, and Barcelona).
Nice, that's broader than I thought when I first started reading the requirements. And OMG, it still won't let me read Martha Wells' Artificial Condition.
A lot of my Japanese light novels have long titles that almost certainly have all the letters necessary to spell at least one of these city names, so I may be going with one of those. Heart Change gave me enough of a break that I think I can handle it.
