Gabby’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

My TBR is out of control but defo a mood reader. Problem is I will often reread the same books as they are a comfort thing for me. I don’t know how people get theirs to go down mine just seems to grow!

Yay we are doing good so far, just gotta keep it up and find some spuds :)

bamboo is good in noodles such as udon or ramen. :) Also could definitely be used in salad and some use it cooked could probably go in quiche or sandwiches as a garnish. The main recipes I have found are stir fry, soup, a hot slaw and curry. So pasta and salads definitely work!

Fair. I am not a huge fan of spell it outs. Just isn’t me :), was still planning on making meals but figured giving you the whole list makes more options :D.

Thank you for doing that, you are amazing! I feel so excel illiterate.

Hey Mahi, we are missing a number of items left column in the meals created page! It means that it will be harder to keep track of how many items. Wondering if it is a mistake on setup by the MODS?

Looks like things have gotten seriously complicated overnight. I will start recording all my finds on the spreadsheet. I am better at just reading and will let you guys work out what you wanna play with strategy wise. It will possibly help you if you wanna swap foods around for better combos Mahi. :)

They have added the Books read list for the next 2 months but no spreadsheet for October I think until the meals are served and sorted. :)

@Mahi Brill :D!
Sorry for the large amounts of deserts and alcohol in the last book they were literally all I saw for the most part as I figured hylt nectar glazed human ribs wouldn't go down well :P.

Can I double check are we allowed 80 books this run or is it 85? Just need to know if I need to start replacing some of my smaller contribution books. :)

If we need extra books at the end I have atm 3x 100 odd page books that I haven't put in yet. Aiming to finish about 4 more books easily this weekend if that helps. I have some on the go that I just need to finish they are the 300+ variety again. :)

Can add some lemons as well later tonight just finishing off this book. Loving the last threadbare book that was just published but also really loving the Artorian Archives! 7 more books to go in that series to get caught up. :D
Jax I think I have Skyward waiting to be read so let me know what you think.

Sorry misunderstanding :) makes more sense though ;P.
Hey Frankie come say hi! :)

I am always around Laura just didn’t feel I could answer any of the questions :P got a few books in the works and may have a few more to add in a couple of days. Just not felt hugely social :’( sorry if it has made me seem distant. Also I hope it cools down for you too. It finally cooled down here.

Thanks. At the moment I am signed off sick and am trying desperately to fill my time. :) let me know if I need to slow down :P. If I get back to work it will slow down sadly.

I may avoid that as some of the jerky I found in the last book was human jerky and I am not sure that would be a good plan :D!

Ooh cherry tart you are making me seriously hungry. A German cherry tart especially a Black Forest cherry is so rich and tasty!

I get what you are saying I am just trying to think of points to meals made efficiency if we focus only on big meals we will not have enough.Frozen meals are good for the carry over option in one month. So yep half and half just seemed the most prudent to have enough meals with the limited books. Sorry if I sounded snippy been a long weekend and the results were not what I hoped.

Mahi, I don't see it that way I am afraid. Taking into account the number of items needed to the points gained they are the most point effective. They are useful and the most difficult to gain being only available in 500+ page books. :) I will aim only for 5ish in the longer books as that is an easy 100 points :)

I think I read more books than I realised this weekend. I have added them in meals. If you need things changed let me know as I have a number of options for a couple of them but I have done what I can. I just suck at formatting the google spreadsheets though. :P

I have 2 books that are less than 160 that I am holding back for the moment as a fill in if we need them. Sorry for the delay just got back to my PC.

I have about 4 books to add when I get back lots of foods to chose from so can fill in spaces as needed :D

Sadly no it doesn’t I have had to use the only 4 foods I could unless you are able to use nuts in anything (p116) and someone else can put in water. Exchange out the sugar. I can add water from another book that I have just finished here later. :) sorry having no access to the sheet is hard.

I will have a gander on Tuesday when I can get access again, I should have a nice collection to add by then as well. Cool thank you my paranoia was having a moment as I have so many items on shorter books it is hard knowing which ones to pick. :D
