MN Lisa’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

LOL. I know the feeling.

I'm going to concentrate on "S" for this next round and the Contemporary Tag. We can only get 5 books with the color.

Here are the letters we need for Round 4:

S - 3
E - 1
M - 1
I - 2
O - 1

@Sonia, Let me know how they are. I usually like Ella Frank, but that seems a bit darker than Temptation and Confessions...

I'm not seeing this on your shelf...

I think as long as it was started after the start of round 1 it can be used in the round you completed it in.

@Anna - I was unable to locate "Final Gambit" on your wheel shelf.

Added to spreadsheet, but have not yet checked shelves

Updated to Here.

I read a bunch, but didn't do completions. I just added to the spreadsheet (since I'm a co-Captain). I can do them if I need to.

I don't think so. I think they can be used on anything.

I have a bunch of books to add. I did not track ingredients, so I have to go back and find some. is there anything we are looking for? Otherwise I can just try and do some spell outs with my books.

For each Spell-Out for Week 2 we will need:
R - 3
A - 3
E - 2
Z - 1
O - 1
B - 1
L - 1
D - 1
T - 1
S - 1

Just missed. I added to the spreadsheet.

On the next one, can you add the characters that qualify too? Thanks!

Books to here have been added to spreadsheet.

NOTE: If you are only listing a first or last name can you please specify which one it is? The captains need that for the spreadsheet. Thanks!

I used to work in Software Testing. Now I'm in Software Product Management. Way more fun to tell people what to do than what they did did't work. :)

I understand being a mood reader. I am in a big way...what mood are you in? We have read a lot of the same books, maybe I could give a suggestion or two...

Hello. I'm Lisa from Minnesota. I'm a Co-Captain. I think this is my 3rd wheel?

I'm working on this challenge as well as MM Christmas Bingo and a few other personal challenges.

Is my wheel shelf and I've picked my 4 books for this week. Can't wait to read some of these so I'm pretty excited. I will probably change a few through the week though,

November is a really busy time for me, so I'm going to read as much as I can, but not sure I'll be able to help a whole bunch with creating meals and stuff. I know Steph, Hayley and Susan are in similar boats.

Vian and April, are you able to do more of that this month?

Try some new, more popular, dishes to attract your target group for round 3.
- Meals with the word "chocolate", "gold", or "scallop" in the text or title, or used as a spell-it-out will attract more adults for round 3

I'd save the drinks for next round. I was thinking i probably won't get any 500+ plus books this month.

That is my understanding
