Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I'll definitely finish one more book (working for 2 ingredients which so far I have pasta, bread and water for), maybe two (which would be the same graphic novel Daniela finished a couple of days ago, working for rice + banana).

I've been struggling with headaches on and off the last couple of weeks, but today it was just a whole other level... Oh well, gonna watch/listen to Home Alone now to make myself feel better!

Agreed :) and wow we all have a lot in common. Just meant to be on a team together 🖤

Could someone link my book in the spreadsheet? I just added everything from my phone but have a really bad migraine and none of my rescue meds or shots are working so I’m not sure if I’ll make it onto the computer. This is the link

No probs if no one else does it tonight ill do it in morning on the laptop :-) just got into bed, hope you feel better soon x

I started to feel better around midnight my time so I hopped on because I don't think I'll get on before 4 pm my time today. I finished another short book, so I added that as well. My Fahrenheit 451 got missed being added to the final spreadsheet, so I fixed that too :) I think when I put it on the planning sheet it glitched and erased my read date so it looked like I had not finished it.

I also went and edited/ finished out all of the meal descriptions. We are at 135 meals, with all ingredients used :) I also made the admins aware of our spreadsheet glitch and they went in and fixed that. Everything should be all good unless someone adds another book before the round ends tomorrow. I'll be home and checking my phone so if we need to update anything I can hop on to help. Have a good night everyone!

Thats fantastic!!! Im halway through a book so will try and finish that today and depending if i have time i can maybe get another really short book done xx

oh shoot I just realized my book works for 8 fresh ingredients since it's 400 pages long (but written in verse).... I'll take care of it + Sally's The Witness after work which is what I have to get ready for now 😬 but I'll def be back in time, now worries!!

btw here's a time zone converter to see at what time round 2 ends for you!

Did she finish the Witness? I didn’t add it because I didn’t see a completed date

Never mind I see a completion date now, I didn’t see one last night or I would have added it :)

tbh I added a random completion date because Sally wouldn't have added it to the spreadsheet otherwise and I didn't want to lose the ingredients. I also confirmed this with Sally. and now I gotta do some switching around bc Punching the Air doesn't have that many/great ingredients 😬

Okay! Gotcha :) if you need help just lmk and I can hop on my computer

I know I won’t get anything else done but I’ll keep an eye out and see if anyone else does :)

guess there was no need for me to go on my laptop anymore @ whoever assigned meals haha! but that's cool, I'll set up a new tab on our tracking spreadsheet for Round 3 then! :)

also, I can't believe there were 210 customers this month when there 'only' were 160 last month! most teams probably did really well last round already for mods to up the numbers so much lol. guess there'll be 260 next round?

I think we did really well though!!!!!! I'm so glad we finally have a full team hah!

How is everyone doing? I'm a bit stressed as I have 2 tests coming up, but I should finally finish my book this week.
Also, it's so hot here today, my neighbour and I both got a sunburn AND a sun stroke from our run xD and people say there's no climate change..

I wish it was warmer here!! Its freezing!!! Im gonna add a couple of books to spreadsgeet today but gonna start a longer one today as ive just finished and submitted ny essay for uni so i can relax and read a bit more this week!!!! Im so glad that essay is done it was a nightmare!!!

Aww a book ive read i cant find on goodreads!!! Oh well :-( i should have checked before i read it and wrote out the ingredients lol

^ you can still get it added though! Just ask for some help in the questions or bar thread, I'm sure there's a gr librarian around!!

Yikes! It’s starting to snow here. Not looking forward to it -.- I’m cycling through a few books right now as I’m dealing with seasonal depression and trying to find something that I can focus on.

Did they get it fixed for you? If not I can add it in!

Yep, it was there all along i just couldnt find it!!!
When i search for it, it still doesnt appear for some reason!!!!
Its starry skies over the chocolate pot cafe, if you can find it vould u add it to spreadsheet for me and ill fill out all the ingredients xx

I couldn’t find it by searching either. I had to look up the author and go to their profile and then it showed up. So weird! I can’t add it to the spreadsheet because I’m on mobile right now but this is the link to it

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

If you can’t add it from there I can hop on the computer tomorrow :)

I stumbled onto a page that said for round 3 to look for the words OLD, REFRESH, RETIRE,CRAYON,MESS, HECTIC,LOCAL, NEIGHBORHOOD, QUALITY, INSTAGRAM,CHIC, TRENDY, in title or text, I wrote down the words but not what or where to add them. Two of the books I've read have OLD in the Title and one has NEIGHBORHOOD but I am clueless on what to do with them, kinda' like the dog chasing the car and catching it! What Now?

Our Google Review score is 3.33 which means we're looking for the words local, neighborhood/neighbourhood + quality in the text or title!
If you come across any of these words just enter them in the cell next to the scavenger/ingredients one so we have a better overview, and we can also use them for different meals if you find them more often than just once!

Awesome! I have one book done but I’ll keep an eye out for those words. I don’t recall any in my last one

Also we can read up to 100 books this round :)

I finally finished Revival, it was an okish read, started out good, the middle was kinda boring and the last 100 pages were more interesting again.

My next read will be a short one, I have to read it for university by next week. And another one I have lined up is around 300 pages, so I hopefully won't take too long

I just finished An Anonymous Girl and absolutely loved the audiobook!!!

I have The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics, White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism, and She Wears Pain Like Diamonds: Poems to add to the spreadsheet. I’m hoping to either finish or get a good chunk through another one today :)

Finished a book, currently in the middle of my second one + a third one for uni which I have to finish by Tuesday. I guess I'll manage a fourth one but not more than taht I think

Awesome! What are you reading for school?

👀---On the planning post, between # 11-'Til Death Do Us Part and # 19-A Highland Christmas, I should have 3 other books posted-- A Tine To Live, A Tine To Die-- Murder Most Fowl,--Murder Can Mess Up Your Masterpiece. Can I just not see them or do I need to repost?

I hope it goes good :)

Happy Thanksgiving to any of our USA teammates or anyone else who celebrates ☺️ I’m going to try to read some this morning but not sure how much I’ll have time to get done! I do have The Poet X and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*uck: A Counterintuitive approach to Living a Good Life to add to the spreadsheet.

I also have to add Ostrich which I finished last night :) how’s everyone doing?

On the book "How The Finch Stole Christmas", you can Spell DASHING using only the first letters of Characters. I'm not sure if that is how it works or if you could make ae lot of words using all the letters in the whole names. I Just saw the word and wondered😊

So I had a pretty busy weekend, so not much reading went down yet. A coworker tested positive on Thursday, thankfully my test came back negative. But I have this weird chest pain since Friday evening and overall not feeling too well. Will have to see if I have to take another Covid test :/

Hope you are feeling better! Take Care 🤞

You would be able to use the first letter in the characters first and last names, the authors first and last name, as well as the letter the book starts with. You’re limited to the number of letters you can use per book depending on the page count, just like you are with ingredients :) the word you spell just has to be a food word. You can do spell it out or scavenger.

I’m so sorry!! Sending lots of well wishes!!!

I couldn't sleep so finished a book haha I'll have abother one done by Wednesday morning.

I'm feeling a bit better, still tired though. I'll try to do a light workout, that usually shows me if I'm getting better.
