Jammin Jenny’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I actually posted for TRIP 8, but STOP 7. :)

COMPLETION POST
FIRST CLASS ITINERARY #8
STOP #7. Vitoria (BR) - Salalah (OM)

Spell Out Letter L
The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection read Nov 4, 5 stars

I think that would work Maddy.

Awesome!

Sally and Maddy, how are you coming on finding a book with song lyrics in it? This is for Stop #5.

Abir, do you have a book you have read recently you can post for Stop #5?

I put our SIO stop (Stop #7) to start Nov 16 and go through Nov 30. Hopefully, we'll all be caught up together by then in the same legs.

I'll take a stab this week on making up some menu order items with the ingredients we have on hand. We were a little short last month, and have a high swinbourne rating, so this round we should expect even more customers. I think we should aim to have 180 menu items if we can.

Any specific items I should focus on? Stick mostly to frozen, with maybe 30% fresh items?

I can see if some of my shorter books help with spell outs.

Is anyone really good at making curries, salads, etc. that wants to go through our ingredients and try to make some tasty meals?

Audio is a lifesaver sometimes, and really good when the narrator is awesome!

I removed the SIO letters for the frozen pasta. Hopefully we can think of something else to use those letters.

I put the SIO letters my unposted books will help with just in case we need them.

I saw someone post for UBEJAM too in the Q&A thread. I put UBE in one of our curries.

I'll take an L

Okay seems like the consensus is to go with the bully character detour, which means our next stop will be either a SIO (Salalah) or a book set in or written by an author from Oman.

Yes I think we should do a couple spell outs...

Here are some books I've read but haven't posted - lower page counts - but I can add them later if we need them.

Jenny's Unposted Books

A Fatal Thaw 208 pages read 10/22 (A, F, D, S, K)
Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry 249 pages, read 10/24 (S, H, K, D, M, L, I, B, G, W)
Carrie 253 pages, read 10/25 (C, S, K, W, M, T, R, H, D, B, N)
Deviant: The Shocking True Story of Ed Gein, the Original "Psycho" 242 pages, read 10/26 (D, S, H)
Inheritance Reversal 232 pages, read 10/27 (I, M, J, A, H, K, B, T, E, W)

So per the rules of this challenge, we can only do one more detour this trip if we want to do either of them. Here's what we have left in terms of detours:

7. Vitoria (BR) - Salalah (OM) - Read a book with a Poker term in title (e.g.Raise, Call, Bluff, Deal, Dealer, House)
8. Salalah (OM) - Marudi (MY) - Read a book that has a bully

What does everyone think? Do we want to do either of these detours?

COMPLETION POST
6. Port-au-Prince (HT) - Vitoria (BR)
Detour: Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a cold/frozen country/world

Book: A Fatal Thaw
Date Read: Oct 22, 2020
How it works: set in frozen parts of Alaska

COMPLETION POST
5. Edmonton (CA) - Port-au-Prince (HT)
Detour: Read a novel with a song in it

Book: Where She Went
Date Read: Oct 21, 2020
How it works: there are lots of song lyrics in this book about a lead singer in a rock band

Great ! We're all on Stop 6 - read a book with a song in it. We have until Halloween to find and read one!

I am pretty sure it's the version you're reading, unless it's an audible version or version without a page count, then you use the default edition.

We could spell out UBE and put it in salads and curries.
