Saar The Book owl’s Comments (group member since Jun 26, 2020)

Saar The Book owl’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Thanks for updating the sheet. I think I can finish 5 books this week and next week I only need to work 2 days, so that gives me time to read more.

That’s good, so we can better keep track of things. I’ve almost finished a book wijt a couple of meals in it.

Thanks, I understood it wrong.

On the sheet I see books for round 2 that are already with items. Are these books started after the start of round 2 or before, because:

Only books read during the specified round can be used (“read date” is what counts, provided it started after the challenge started)

Thanks for all the hard work, Melanie, I really appreciate it. We were indeed under 80 books. Normally I read more, but I was caught up in a lot of chuncksters, so I'll change tactic and read smaller ones.
I like your idea, Melanie, in message 209.

To add to that:
- maybe we can make the meals a bit sooner. So that we don't need rush? If we see that there are items that we can use to completely finish a meal, than we can do that?

- I like the idea of using colors for used books. Maybe we can use 1 color? Also the tab 'Round 1 books remaining' is super.

- the items we've used, we can strike them out. So we don't have a hard time to get through everything and can create meals easier.

Till what date does it needs to be read? I haven't started yet, because I've got a couple of weird weeks behind my back.

Thanks, Melanie :) Take your time.

I'm curious too and I was blown away by the work it is. Maybe it would be good to check on the official sheet, tab 'Books read', if all the books that we've actually read are added there.

I'm finished, I think. We've got now 93 meals with names. Everything is added to the official sheet also. I've added also a couple of books that have been read into the official sheet.

I've made 3 more meals. I think that's it. I'm going to name the meals now.

Thanks, Melanie and Lau for all you're work. I appreciate it. It's afternoon here, so I see what I can do to finish it.

I've been thinking on some ideas for the next round:
- maybe we can make the meals a bit sooner. So that we don't need rush? If we see that there are items that we can use to completely finish a meal, than we can do that?

- I like the idea of using colors for used books. Maybe we can use 1 color? Also the tab 'Round 1 books remaining' is super.

- I'm not an Excel - hero, but I see what I can do.

- the items we've used, we can strike them out. So we don't have a hard time to get through everything and can create meals easier.

Also, I apologise for all the stress yesterday. I had a bad day...

Thanks, Lau, it’s a huge work. I can continue tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for al the help everyone! I think we are doing good.

For now there are 16 meals created. I don't know if I did it right, so please check and change.
Maybe someone else can be captain than me, because I find it a bit to difficult to create everything and adding.

Will do that :)
There are books in pink on our sheet. Why is that? And I've made some meals this afternoon, but they are gone?

I will strike out every item that I've used for the meals, so we can see what's left.

@Saar for the meals, every item has to be put in a different line so that it can count as an item ..."

Okay, I'll correct ir.

The books without a reading date aren't finished or started yet. I've copypasted them to the official sheet, but can't remove them.
I will add 2 more books that I've read.

I try my best, but it's getting over my head. The 1st round of a challenge is always difficult, I think, for me.

Right now, there are 5 meals. With the sandwiches I left the box for 'complete' open, because we can still add some items. I will check this evening. According to my time zone, we've got until Saterday before 11 p.m. to add all the meals to the official sheet. After that, we can't add it anymore.

So, if I'm correct, at that time (Finishes October 17, 9pm UTC Time) customers arrive? Is there someone who then can add all the meals in the official sheet? I won't be online then. I'll make sure that before that, everything is ready to go.

I don't know how many customers we will get"

Thanks, Lau.

I think that wasn't mentioned.

I can come online tomorrow at 8 in the evening. (Brussels time zone), if that's okay for everyone?
