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

oh Lynne I'm so sorry you are sick. I hope you recover quickly!

And oops! I'll do Alias Emma right now.

I think I am done with what I can finish this month. I am sure sorry I am not home on my computer to help with transferring things!

Thanks Rebecca for the reminder!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

I have two completed books to make meals for, and I linked in the books I'll have finished by the end of the month - just doing things ahead of time that are hard to do on a phone or tablet :)

I listened to a book that is audio only (asked about this in the questions area). I THINK it may need to be unverified pages, but since it was a bit over 7 hours I wanted to ask just in case - then I'll get it put in.

I swear most of the books I need/want to read this month are in the 400 -500 page range - the worst efficiency range for this challenge.

If a book is audio-only (7 hours and 18 minutes) what page count do I use? Is it the minimum number?

Sorry if this has been answered already - I searched all these pages for "audio" and didn't find it.

I think they were fine!

I hope you had a great weekend too. Boy time just speeds by. I finished The Green Mile and need to put it in - maybe today! It was on audio, and I don't remember really hearing any bonus romantic items. But people did eat :)

I entered my first two books. Since they were long, I focused on drinks and desserts - it seems as if getting lots of meals might help since we have been having more customers than meals. However, if you both would like me to switch to some other things, I'd be happy to!

I didn't put in any romance bonus items yet, but seems (hopefully) like we can get those. I did have two chocolate things. I am not sure how gold will work as a food, but I suppose it doesn't really matter since there's no rulel saying we need all three words.

I think the holidays and all the associated things make it easy to lose some reading steam :)

And yeah it'll be fun - at least mostly. My oldest kids need me to babysit the grandson the 25th through December 5th. Other than missing husband, dog, and computer, it'll be fun :). And the husband reminded me I'll have lots of time to read, so that's good.

I just learned that I need to be in Seattle from Nov. 25th on, so I will also not be much help in transferring things to the primary spreadsheet. I can enter into spreadsheets though. Maybe before the last week of November we can put things into the main spreadsheet then just enter into the primary one instead of moving across? I can MAYBE copy/paste using my tablet or phone, but gulp.

And...I finally finished a book. Sigh. My reading is really taking a hit for some reason. Well, and it was a long book, but still... I'll get things input soon.

Thanks for setting that up!

We almost doubled our points from the first month - that's pretty awesome.

For this month we have the romance bonus words (like the kids toy words) - I believe we can have up to 20?

and based on our rank:
Meals with the word "chocolate", "gold", or "scallop" in the text or title, or used as a spell-it-out will attract more adults for round 3

I copied the Round 3 sheets into our planning sheets and moved them up to be closest to books read. I haven't hidden the round 2 books read yet. Hopefully formulas will work, but it's a start!

Thanks for the heads up - I can try to do some of that copying over you did - I won't be as good as you but maybe you can give me whatever tips you have beforehand. And hopefully we can get some done early too.

Thanks for looking at it! I suspect you are right about not being able to feed everyone - but I'm proud of how well we've done!

Yes I'm proud of what we've accomplished! Thanks everyone!

Thanks you two! I hope you have a fun Halloween!

I think we may get lots of trick-or-treaters this year since the weather is pretty good. I have lots of young'uns in the neighborhood that I love, so hoping to see them come to the door :)

I am trying to finish descriptions as meals are finished. Hopefully we'll get as many as possible official :)

Thanks both of you for working so hard! I'll try to put in some descriptions in the orange highlighted spaces.
