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

So stupid question time. Are we doing individual put together meals or will it be an everyone chips in with what they have jobbie?

Nice. I have 3 that keep falling by the wayside. :/ so props Natalie.

Yeh because of the lack of fruit salad sadly options were slightly limited with Crunch as most of the words were fruit related so tried to make sure the combination between the two allowed for easy meals where possible (sorry).

Hey guys so I have started 4 meals. Graphic novels are stupid fast to read. I have plotted them out and added what I could. Feel free to add to the meals if you have things that would work. I am not particular about them. I have blocked them out as discussed so it is easier for people to see which meals are which. Sadly I will have no access to the spreadsheet again till Tuesday as will be on IOS while I go up to my parents to do some tests at the hospital (Diagnostics nothing serious!) Will hopefully have a bunch of books to add when I get back. :D Just a shame we can't do fruit salads.

As far as I am aware you can use 12 items from the book in various meals. :) Someone correct me if I am wrong, will play with it in a moment as I will have 2 graphic novels to add. Nice quick foody reads hopefully.

Rather than every bite tastes like the last slice. Maybe every bite tastes like the best slice. It just is too many last slices in one line otherwise.

Otherwise I love it and am tempted to barge in to the restaurant as a customer myself not as part of the staff :P

The only reason that William manages half the political things he does is his mother and Bishop Wallerand. He has no morals and other than violence little brains. Am I wrong in thinking every time something goes wrong he runs to one or the other?

As all you need is a chapter no having a notepad or a note app on the phone should be good enough. I am probably going probably have a small cheapy notepad for those. :) long books make for good scavenging. :)

My bad misread the list in the spreadsheet. Ex for me is excluding shorthand not example.

Yeh I was going to aim 160-300+ and keep the 50+ as options as exchanging things out near the end may make things complicated.

I am not sure I can. I have never been comfortable with the BOM. Neither of these this month would make me want to read. :/ I will keep an eye out for future months though if that ok.

Holly Black nice! I loved her work when I was younger I really hope she managed to bring the same magic to her older series. I have yet to try them. Yeh I have given up tracking how many series I am reading. :P

Hey So if you are into fantasy then there are a few series I can recommend dependant on what you are looking at for LITRPG! Also sorry this ended up longer than I expected. Really loving delving into this genre of book at the moment!

Stuff and Nonsense Is the first book in a series where the main character is a teddy bear golem who goes to save his little girl from the man who takes her. There is far more to the series and 3 others that interlink if you are interested in that. Books 1-3 of threadbare leads into his Small Medium: Big Trouble which is another 3 book series then Dragon Hack 1-3 best red in that order if you don't want massive spoilers but can be read as stand alone series. Then he is currently writing book 6 for the threadbare series as 4-6 comes in at this point.

Life Reset is a good series if you want another monster point of view side with a lot more resources collecting and town building elements to it. More of a traditional stuck in the game story.

The Two Week Curse I am loving this series and is more of a military based look into being dragged into video game style world. Starts as two main characters but if you are up to juggling many main story characters and a lot of background action you may enjoy this one!

Axiom This could be a more baby steps in with less game play elements and a grandfather trying to rescue his grandchildren. Artorian is fun and a very unique character in his mindset.

The Wandering Inn: Book 1 is very much relationship building, life building and finding your path in a new world. Much less combat orientated than some of the series.

Hey Laura! Good on you olives are not easy to grow. :) I noticed on your main page that you like paranormal romance. Have you tried the Kristen Painter Nocturne falls series. All stand alone books, that interweave into a city and build a picture. They are on audible for easy listening! Or Nice Girls Don't Bite Their Neighbors. Librarian gets turned into a vampire after being taken for a deer as a drunk driver and shot dead. :) Vampires are also out in the world and accepted by society. A good laugh.

Hi Jax. Ohh this is going to be a fun mix of books then. :D looking foward to seeing what you throw into the works. :) Gosh you make me miss home! I have so much family NW USA.

Hi all! I'm Gabby, I am a paramedic who works in London. I read all types of books with an aim on fantasy and currently LITRPG. I am really looking forward to doing this challenge. It is my first team challenge with NBRC but 2nd team challenge. :D

So yeh, I am caught up in the game as well sorry to add on admin parts. I was wondering if we are going to all add to the books (which is best). Do we want to discuss meals and plan in advance, or put a couple people in charge of making/double checking the meals to make sure we have less mistakes?

I was thinking the same thing. I will forge pages and such otherwise. ;P

Woo editing prospects!

Cool requested access if not will PM you. Sad thing is I am not sure which email address they have so that makes things hard for me as it may not be the email address I use for Microsoft. :/

I think this is a good excuse to get back into the 10 realms series. :) at least 4 of the books are over 500 pages if I remember correctly.

Cool will aim for scavenger then where I can. :)

If anyone is in to fantasy reads and hasn't read Legends & Lattes it is a really fun read and coffee is everywhere with some other food stuffs, nuts spices and the likes mentioned throughout. I can't reread it sadly as it is less than 6 months, 350ish pages so good for 8 items if I am correct.

Sadly while I am in the team I can't edit the worksheet. Is it only Jax and Mahi who can?

Hey so out of curiosity are we going to aim more for scavenger parts or spell outs? Mainly so I can plan a little with the reading and not start books we may want before September. :)

Hey have DM’d the mods to see if I can get added to the team. Mahi suggested I popped on to say hi. Thanks for being willing to let me in even though I was slow in replying.
I am having to isolate from 2nd to 5th so should be able to get a lot read to help out. :)

All dependant on the Mods for now, :/
