Sonia’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Ohhhh, I have so many mentions of stew on the Destined Paranormals universe I have been reading.

I am back.

Vacation was awesome. I have a culinary delicacy for you... it's called pizza patatine. It's basically pizza with french fries and sausage topping.

I have proof:

Hello from Salou!

We have finally arrived at the hotel, are currently taking a bit of a breather and then will enjoy a few hours in the park

Right?

Yeah, know the feeling. In my current obsession it seems they're either eating or going at it, sometimes both. So the amount of food mention is gigantic

I'm still working on , but, since it can be read anytime on the series, I might start tonight. It's not that long, but, if it keeps following the previous one, maybe I can get 4 chickens from it. The Tea is guaranteed. LOL.

The amount of eggs, chickens, pigs, tea and fish I am finding in my current book makes me regret having started it yesterday. Stupid me

I am so glad to have read this whilst not on call... my laughing would be hard to explain otherwise.

Yeah, audio might be an option.

Speaking of which, since I am traveling with just a backpack, I've decided not to bring any book nor the kindle with me. I know, shocking.

But, I have been fighting sleep to read, and my body is starting to complain. So. I'll try to take a reading break next week.

I stocked on sudoku and other puzzle books. Since considering not having a book with me gives me an eye twitch, I went to my audible app and got the latest Mercy and a TJ Klune that was on my library downloaded to my phone, and managed to stick my wired - thus plane/flight friendly - headsets in my gadget and electronics bag.

Sure, phone also has both kindle and google books apps, so, I can always access library if I want to. But I'll try not to use those to allow for proper sleep... and maybe to give electronics a break.

Waiiit... The Ink Black Heart is 1272 pages?! Is she writing a series within a series?

Portuguese editors sometimes split big books into two - yep, Game of thrones unfinished series for us is 10 books - or four, like they did with Mists of Avalon.

Good thing I am buying them in English... but.. I'm considering switching to kindle format because holding that big of a book is a no no for my wrists

Almost time!!!!!

I told Eni about Tarragona... we are thinking that it will be a cool place to have lunch on our way to Salou

There's the water park, the hotel, the ferrari land park and the portaventura park. Plus Salou beaches.

Yep. Too little booked time. Le sigh.

I'm starting to think that I should have booked a couple of weeks instead of 5 days

Btw, my 5 days off are going to be from September 5 to September 9. Which means I'll probably be off the grid from 4th to 10th.

I'm pretty sure reading won't be happening that much. Park is open from 10 AM to 11 PM, sooooo, yeah. Shower and crashing are the most certain outcomes.

Weather is getting weird today, so, onto check forecasting for Salou & Barça

Good Morning troublemakers!!!!

Just to make sure, because brain is all messed up at this point, bundles need to be tagged as individual books, right?

...smells a little pungent. Oh well..."

It's from all the kitchen cleaning that has been happening. Counters, stoves and ovens are spotless and shinning. Pantries are stocked. Time to go shopping for fresh produce and we're good to go.

Vinegar with water is the only thing I use to clean my fridge. It's great for keeping it clean, safe, free from bad smells and doesn't make the food taste like cleaning agents

Lol

There's My Restaurant Rocks, but it is more of a self directed team challenge. More info about it here

(It starts September 1st)

Regular team challenges, no clue if the mods are planning another soon. Maybe if we keep our fingers crossed or pester them a lot we can get another wheels or something in the likes

Yep. All my vinegar innocence went away.
