Sorry I haven't had time to create any meals so far this round.

Goodread's search is notoriously bad and doesn't always show what it should.

Annalisa wrote: "With War and Peace I’m listening to the audiobook book. Will it be a problem if I search an ebook for getting where food items are in the book?"I don't think so. I've seen other teams mentioning doing that for audiobooks.
We got our customers, so I went in and assigned meals. We were 38 short as we had 172 meals and we got 210 customers. That was way more customers than I was expecting, but we did manage to cover most of them. Plus with the better names this time around, I'm thinking our score should be better than round 1.Great job everyone!
For the final round we can read 100 books, up 10 from this round.
Thank you to everyone who helped add meal names.
Chris wrote: "I did four that I highlighted yellow - could someone take a look and let me know if I should I continue as I am going or change it up a bit?"Yes, they're looking great so far. Thanks for working on these!
Chris wrote: "@Melanie! I see it now - thank you! Last, last question - do I only need to add a description if the meal name isn't as apparent? Or do they ALL need a meal name and description (totally under 20 w..."I think as long as the name pretty much indicates what the meal is then it should be fine. I just know in the last round we went with very basic names which led to a lower review score, so anything somewhat creative should be ok.
Chris wrote: "Thanks for copying items over! Just one last question and then I'll be able to get started - where does the meal name go? And can I see just one example?"I added a tab in the tracking sheet called "Meal Names/Descriptions Still Needed". The ones colored orange are the ones already done in the main sheet (so you can see some examples). So if you scroll down you'll find the ones needing names still.
My suggestion for you Chris since you're working in the tracking sheet is start with the meals at the bottom since it looks like Lau Maia and Annalisa are working in the main sheet.
Chris wrote: "I think all the meals were removed from our internal team sheet, as I am not seeing any meals in "Round 2 Meals" tab? Unless I can view them elsewhere?"Sorry about that. They're not removed, but hidden while I work on adding new ones. I made a copy of the sheet called Completed Meals so use that for looking at the meals to create names/descriptions.
Actually for now, I moved a copy of the shopfront tab to the planning sheet, so go ahead and fill stuff in there and then I'll copy over to the official sheet.I also made a copy of the meals completed tab so you can look at what's in the meal for creating the description.
Chris wrote: "Okay, I requested access for the spreadsheet. If one of y'all are able to grant it, that would great, too!"I think only the mods can grant access as I can't find anywhere in the sheet to do it. So hopefully one of them sees it. But if you want for now, you can post here the meal # and your name/description and I can copy them over.
I'm working on making meals now for the remaining completed books.
I will make meals with the books that are in the sheet tomorrow morning after I do my grocery shopping trip. Then I can recheck the sheet a couple times tomorrow to grab anything new added before the deadline.One thing needed at the moment is names or descriptions for the meals created (I think Annalisa did some of them, but there are a lot to go). So if anyone can jump in to work on that it would be much appreciated.

Go to Amazon
Content & Devices
Change where it says Show: Books right above the titles to Show Docs
Search for the title in the search box above the list of titles on the right or just scroll until you find the title
Click the button with the ... to the left of the title
Where it says Deliver to, select Default Device or click on Others if there's a different device you want to send it to
Then sync the device you sent the doc to and the book should be there
