NaNo is going pretty well this year (writing goal) story wise I might be going in circles. That's what editing is for (if I ever get around to it.)

If your doing it this year how is it for you?

Hi Red Sister! When I saw the names I thought that would be nice but didn't expect to actually be on the team. I've read the trilogy and loved it. Would also re-read if there were points for that. I might pick up some other Mark Lawrence though.

I'm from North Carolina and I'll likely be checking in throughout the week but will post mostly on the weekends.

This is my 5th year participating in Wheel. I'm currently participating in National Novel Writing Month so have my weekly reading much lower than I would normally for a challenge. Space opera is not something I read, unless for a challenge.

Here is my shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Welcome to the team Alaina!

Hi Kira. Thanks for the update and all your doing to hold the team together. I was looking last night and saw we had a player who hadn’t posted in a while and was going to ask if anyone had heard from but I see you posted for a replacement already. Thank you!

Thank you, Kira. I was really struggling to come up with food words that I could spell out.

I have three books that have letters for Spell outs. I'm having trouble creating works so I'm going to post here characters that haven't been used for each so they can be fit in. I'll think about it some more but not coming up with anything tonight.

I think we are all going to get a mix of customers. We want to make sure we have meals for children as well as adults. I don't think the meals for kids will go to waste.

No problem moving things around.

For scavenger books make sure you are checking for our words: caviar, saffron, and truffle. We will get more adults with meals that contain those words.

Kira I was going over the meals so far. My reading of the rules is that a meal is either scavenger or spell it out. If spell out you would pick a word “sandwich” and spell that for your word. You would not have half a meal as spell out and half scavenger. Same goes for our books they should either be used for spell it out or scavenger but not both.

My first read didn’t hit 300 either. I think we get more books this month so I think we should use everything we read to try and maximize the number of meals.

Thank you, Kira

I've started meals for my books.

We have a started sandwich, curry, and fish and chips with vinegar.

I was reading over the question and answers and we want to make sure our descriptions are exciting and enticing to improve our rating. For future rounds our rating is going to determine our customers.

I’ll get my two pending books on this weekend. I was traveling for work and couldn’t do it.

Started a couple spell outs. I need a C to complete carrot. I saw there was another book for spell out but not sure of the characters. I used the author for an R but we still have one letter left.
I also started a spell out of Salad.
Letters we need to complete spell outs:
C, S, L, and A

I wasn't able to complete both unfinished meals with my book. I did finish one of them. I started two other meals though. We have Frozen Curry, a Fish and chips (with or without vinegar I picked with), and a Special unfinished.
I have some books that didn't have any food so I'll be doing some spell outs with those.

I don't have access to the spread sheet yet. So I'm going to post here.

I’ve got three books to add that I listened to as audiobooks while driving. I don’t think the book I listened to on the drive up counts, I think I started into before challenge started. I’ll check once I have my computer up later.

Couple day until start now.

Hi everyone!
I’m Annalisa and I’m from North Carolina.
I played last time we had the challenge and I still see food when I’m reading. I’m sure this will be a little different than the previous iteration. Excited to play with everyone.

Yay! It’s been so much fun!
