Saar, sorry it has been stressful for you. I hope you are able to find the time to destress.

I'll see about a replacement player.

I just finished part 7 and I finally think I know who the characters are and the things happening.

I named our first two meals. I think they are a little more creative than our last names. I'll keep working on it when I have time throughout the week.

Thanks Melanie. I added a few meals. Mostly I tried to finish what was started. I’ll help with naming meals when everything is moved over.

I still can’t unsort the ss so wasn’t sure I had the right number for the meals I made.

I looked at the Wikipedia summary and that is helping. Not all that detailed but it helped clear up a couple things that confused me.

Thank you Melanie.

I tried to remove the sort so I could see our completed books and it told me it was locked. I was curious since I’m think of reading some longer books but what is to make our 90 book mark this round. Anyone know how many books we have finished?

I’m making progress. I finished book 3 and am starting book 4. I don’t know that I like the story or characters. It still feels a bit confusing at times.

It isn’t in the rules so I’m assuming we can’t. It’s fine. I have plenty of other options for this volume.

I had to start another spell it out since I didn't have a character that worked for a d or o. I'm continuing to read the series so I am going to spell Fish. I have filled in the i and volume three will work for two of the other letters definitely s and h. Can we use illustrators? I don't remember seeing that as an option.

I just finished book 2. I was a little upset to have Anna Pavlovna back as a character in book 3. She seems false and whiny.

I started a salad meal with the comic I finished today. It had no scavenger items. I'm going to keep reading the series so I'll have my number of books read up.

I started spelling avocado. If need to change it we can, but I thought I would get us started at least.

I’m going to read a few comics or manga this round to get our book numbers up. That will counter the fact that I’m listening to War and Peace and that will take up a good amount of time that I would have listened to something else in.

@Melanie thank you for serving the customers.

I think when we signed up as a group we were under the 80 books they suggested.

Right now I can read about 8 books a month, often as many as 12 but things are a bit chaotic for me.

Not sure if anyone saw but there was a video that one of the Mods (Thank you Karen, I think) put together.

Do not track food items that cannot be used in the meals the book..."

I missed the 500 pages and for most drinks and deserts. I did notice that tea and coffee only need to be 160 pages.

Thanks for all the work you put in Melanie and Saar.

We also want to make sure all out books are used in at least one meal so we get points for them.

Thank you Saar. I got permission to edit the official spreadsheet so I’ll also help.

I have one that I’ll move to the next round my library copy expired and need to renew.

I’m going to request access to edit our official sheet and I can help with meal descriptions.
