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.

Cool, thanks for explaining all that better. I have one more book to add now and I'll finish another one tonight. Quick question on page numbers considering I'm in so many different things. Page number of the edition that we read or first edition that pops up? I haven't ran into this issue yet but it's going to happen with a book later this week.

Cool, I made a curry and just need one ingredient but I have that in the book that I'm reading right now. I took spices from Alchemist. I have 4 ingredients to go towards a quiche also.

I just finished a book that had so many words in it. Not sure what we should make. We can make lots of things.

I’ve got two books going right now and I’ll keep an eye/ear out for vinegar. One is audio and I’m going to have to find the words. The other is Libby and I’ve been bookmarking. In that one I’ve already found flour, sugar, eggs, lemon and a few other things. It could come in handy but it’s not over 500 pages. I’m definitely going to find a 500 page book to knock out this week for some alcohol words.

Thanks so much. I think I'm going to use the flag feature on libby so I can flag when a word appears in a book. I think that will work better for the ones that aren't audio books. Let me go add those things.

Cool, let me go add those two for Silent. Yeah, Alchemist gave really good points and was super short for Turf Wars so I knocked that out for those. It was a toss up if it would work over here or not.

Thanks for helping me. 4 pages too short for The Silent Wife. That stinks. I'll have to go back and figure out all the character names to add those in. Okay, I did the first step. What should I do next?

Okay, so I finished two books but I'm definitely going to need spreadsheet help. I think I need a dumbed down tutorial. I'm going to list the foods/drinks I found in the books that I've finished today. I catch on pretty fast but I'm just confused at the moment.

That's a good idea. Here's my shelf.

That book is on my tbr. I'm hoping to work on some tbr books the next couple months. Okay, I thought I understood the spreadsheet but maybe I didn't understand it as well as I thought I did. I may need one of those completion threads so I can post all the food and drink words that I found in this book that I just finished. There were quite a lot. I just hope I found them all.

For October, It's been since 2019 since I've read Truly Devious so I can read that again. Maybe I'll catch things I didn't the first time. That's another super good series. I haven't read Circe so I'll make sure to get that one read during that time also.

I can't read Chain of Gold because I read it within the last 6 months. I'm sorry, I bought it right when it came out and then I read it at the beginning of June. It's really good and I gave it a 5 star. Let me see what these October books look like and I'll make sure to get them if I haven't read them yet.

Hey! Whew, I have a lot of books that I need to tackle this weekend. I think I'm going to start with.

Ohh, I just assumed they were. What do y'all thing? I like Read it and Eat but I open to having two separate also.
