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

We are looking for these words:

Swinborne Score of 18
Meals with the word "ube", "watermelon", or "legume" in the text or title, or used as a spell-it-out will attract more adults for round 2

I think we agreed it had to be some lyrics to a song (not necessarily the whole song, but at least some lyrics).

For stop 6 I'm good with either a SIO or the detour:

Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a cold/frozen country/world

I extended Stop 5 through Oct 31st.

Completion Post
Leg 4. Anchorage (US) - Edmonton (CA)
Task: Set in or Author from Canada
Book: A Rule Against Murder
Author: Louise Penny
Date Read: Oct 19
How it fits: set in Canada

And yes can we extend Stop 5?

I finally finished my book for Canada. I'll update now.

Oh! Yes that needs to get fixed. Did you post that we are having problems so they check out our link too?

I did not notice that. What are you talking about on the SS?

Do you think we need bread (or toast or sandwich) in our sandwiches, or some sort of green in our salad? I was checking our ingredients and for the most part we do, but for some we don't. Are those sandwiches for our carb conscious guests, so they're served without bread? I think we could sell it that way.

Also, not all "salads" have greens so I think we just need to be ready to sell any non-conventional "recipes" we've made to the judges.

I'm going to take some time tomorrow while listening to audio books to try and go through our book tab and cross out the items we've used from each of the books we've listed, and also move up books that somehow were placed at the bottom of the SS for Round 1. Right now, looks like we have spots for 12 more books from now until the 19th. Once we finish all our books, and have all our menu items and shop front ready, we'll be good to go.

Depending on the answer to my question regarding min/max menu items on the STORE FRONT, we can decide if we'd like more dessert, more salads, more whatever. The good thing is all the FROZEN and DDC items carry over from month to month, so if we want to "stock" items up that is where we should do it.

We can get lots of desserts and DDC drinks when we have the ALL category, so hopefully we are using our big books for more of those items. We can't get desserts from FRESH or FROZEN books is my understanding.

I think we're going to need more meal lines too...Can we have 20 more for now?

Any DDC items we have (non-alcoholic drinks, alcoholic drinks and desserts) are all frozen and can be used in the next month if they aren't eaten.

And I really don't think there's a maximum on the number of meals we can create, just the number of ingredients needed for each item. I've asked in Q&A to make sure.

Is there a limit to the number of various meal item choices we give to our customers? On the STORE FRONT sheet it lists the same min/max numbers for each of the menu items we had to create. I just want to make sure we can make more (or less) to fit the needs of our customers if we think they like more cookies for example, and less salads.

I'm not sure those min/max numbers on the STORE FRONT relate to the min/max items we can have for each type of item. They are the same min/max numbers we have to follow when creating the item. I don't think they (the Mods) care if we have 20 teas, no milks, and 30 cookies. They just want to make sure we use a good amount of ingredients for each item on the menu.

I think maybe we should ask in Q&A or look in Q&A if that's already been answered.

I think we need more desserts (the kids, teenager and adults all like them). And we can only get desserts, alcoholic drinks and non-alcoholic drinks when we have a BIG BOOK and get the ALL category.

Having no notifications kinda sucks...

I'm only counting my longer books, but still plan on posting shorter books here if needed. We were reading way too fast to count everyone's books with our 80 book cap which is why I was only posting the longer books in the SS with the scavenger items I found. But like Tammie said, everyone should be reading what they like, and it should be a fun challenge, so if you like shorter books read them and use those books!!

COMPLETION POST
NOT ON SS


Read 9/29, 245 pages

SIO: TM (Title), A (AFN), C (ALN), HQ (Harley Quin), S (Mr. Straithwaite)

I took a stab at renaming some of our dishes.

I copied it and finished the book today.

DQ Set 5: Ch 20 - End

19. Cordelia and James end up in the Shadow Realm and are under attack by a Mandecore (sp?) on the bidding of Belial (sp?). Cordelia is able to strike once with the sword, but then is caught up in the vines. James calls on his power from his demon heritage to save them both. What do you think his use of this power will do to him in the long run? Will he suffer from it, or want more of it?

20. The Harrondales find out they are descendants of a Prince of Hell, Belial. They all have different reactions. What would you do if you found out you were a descendant of someone/something evil?

21. When they are with the enclave and James is being accused of starting the fire, Cordelia steps up to cover for James. By doing this she is putting herself in harms way in terms of future prospects. James proposes to Cordelia, but says he doesn't love her...but we know she loves him. What do you think about going into a marriage with unrequited love? Or do you think it is unrequited?

22. "Perhaps life was not like books. Perhaps life was never going to be like that." I love this quote. If your life could be like a book, what book would you choose?

23. In the Epilogue, we find that Tatiana seems to be working with the Prince of Hell. What do you think will happen in the next book in the series? Are you interested in continuing on with this series?
