Finished a long book last night and I'm going to update with all those words tonight. I didn't have to work as long as I thought I was going to have to so that helps alot. :)

Sounds good, my chores are taking me longer than expected but later this afternoon I can work on meals for my smaller books and make sure that I have squeeze out every single word out of those bigger ones.

I have to update my books this afternoon which I will do. I didn't have as much drinks and desserts as I wanted to have in my big books but I have some. I think we've done a pretty good job so far but I agree we can still make lots more meals. I would probably make some more children meals for sure. Some families may have 3-4 children. Maybe more frozen since they can be carried over and we don't really know what they are going to hand us just yet. Will these meals all require a drink of some sort? If so we may need more tea, coffee, and stuff. If there is still a spot left on the books read, I can totally read another chunky book maybe one that involves a restaurant or bar so I can get more drink/dessert options in there.

I'm slowly making it through these long books. One is on audio and it's pretty fast but so so long even listening at 2.75 and it's going to take me at least until tomorrow to get it done. I'm reading the book version of a couple more that can be added but it might be saturday until I can get all my food items and meals updated again. I better have some good options in this long, long book!

I made a couple frozen meals but I also made a couple meals that could be for kids. I have no idea how many children we will have to serve but wanted to make sure we had a couple more options for them. I made tea also. I still have lots of ingredients left in some of my books to make a few more things. I'll come back again and check things out. I plan on using my big books for drinks and desserts when I finish them so that we have some more of those options. Off to work on something else. I agree no notifications is making this hard!

Thanks! Let me figure out how to move those finished ones over and I'll make that change. I know that I have stuff to make tea. I can make some frozen things.

I made some meals but need suggestions on whether to make sandwhich, quiches, or salads. I'm not sure what I should make with some of my ingredients but it looks like I have some good options left in my ingredients. Also, I went ahead and added the two long books to the spreadsheet that I'm tackling the next couple of days. I'm hoping they have good choices for desserts and drinks.

I really liked The Hate U Give and Ugly Love. Both had been on my TBR and I finally was able to get to them. Totally different books but both had me deeply invested. I've got a couple over 500 books still planning to read to help with the alcohol and dessert. I also have a couple 200 page books hanging out in case we need them but I'll get all my menu items updated tomorrow afternoon. Right now, I'm multi-tasking while watching the Bama game but we are going to friends house tonight to play some board games and snack so my reading time will be limited until tomorrow. I just added that book from the library Tammie so hopefully I can get it read next week too. I'll make it fit somewhere.

I totally understand that! I've been doing more audiobooks which is why I have to spend time finding words in the ebook version. I think everyone's work has been crazy. It's been a trend lately.

Cool, I'll update more of my books either tomorrow or Sunday but I've started putting them on the spreadsheets. I'll probably need a vinegar and I'll see what other meals I can make once I get everything added. I have 2 books that are in the 200-300 page range also that I haven't added but can if we need them.

I'm in please.

Cool, I'll probably snatch that tomorrow when I have time to update this one. I think I have all the other ingredients to make the fancier fish and chips. I was trying to get all the little weekly challenges updated. Work was crazy and I think I'm going to bed early tonight.

I have books to add but I need more time to sit down and copy over all the food words from libby. I still haven't found vinegar in a book yet. I've been hoping it would show up.

I don't know how far you are into the story.....I know there are some alcohol references. I have the hardback copy. I'll see if I can find some time to skim a few parts and see if anything triggers. I can see if I can get a kindle version also.

You can read this book without reading the other series. They may mention a couple people from other books but this is a series on its own. The different series are different generations of the same family. I’ve read almost all of them and really enjoy them. I realized I missed a book so I’m going to read that one this week. I need to update goodreads because one of the series I read before I was on goodreads.

I've started updating it but I'll finish it later this afternoon. I plan on spending some quality time updating everything tonight. I have lemon in one of my books. I did get the longest one posted. I read it on kindle so my page numbers are weird but it seemed like all they did was talk about food in that book.

Y'all definitely need to read the City of Bones series. Playing catchup over here. It's one of my all time favorite series. It's been so long since I've read Clockwork Angel but that's another really good series. An Ashley book that I liked was Sweet Dreams. A couple random ones are The Time Traveler's Wife and The Book Thief. Y'all all should read the BOM. The Clare one. It's really good. I'm going to fix my menu items right now with the books I've finished the last couple of days.

Anybody have a suggestion for a good book over 500 pages? I'm striking out over here. I have some solid 400 plus page books that I can knock out but that 500 is being tricky.

I have two littles to finish by Friday night and I’ll definitely find some bigger books. I’m going to have to go back and find the words in a few so I’ll get everything updated this weekend. My work is kinda crazy due to the protesting in Louisville so we are working different hours and it’s messing up my rhythm.

I posted one of my books and the other I'm going back to find words. The only problem is, my husband usually works overtime during the week but with everything going on in Louisville, he's home this week at night. This is good and bad. He's safer at home at night but bad because I'm supposed to "socialize", ummm does he not know I need my reading and beverage time after work. Anyway, I'm super glad that I only have one book that I need to finish by tomorrow night and it's on audio and I can do both. I'll get the other book added tomorrow, probably with the book I'll finish.
