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

Do we want to switch some of my first books for vinegar? I’ll look and see how times it’s in them

Are there any words we’re short on? I know we need vinegar a couple of times anything else?

I have multiple instances of vinegar in my first couple of books. If we need I can change some of my words to accommodate. I didn't realize until I just re-read some of that rules that we can use a word more that once if it's in a book multiple times.

Cool-I'll find words to fill those empty spots of mine.

But here's to a new week!"

I'm sorry you had to go through that Jessi. I've been through it myself albeit it was a long time ago but I remember it being very disturbing. It absolutely wrecks your mind. Thank goodness no one was home at the time and I'm glad you were able to sort of piece things back together. Here's to a MUCH better week for you!

Donna-I noticed you have salad as one of your words. I have some items that could go with it if you need them (pear, fennel, strawberry...) I wasn't sure which meal you have that planned for so I didn't want to start something if you already have enough words for it.

I'm leaving my last two spots for Circe open on the planning sheet because I don't have enough to make another meal. I was surprised at how many food words there were in it.

Rebecca, short stories are fine. Anthologies are just weird when they are books usu published separate."

Thanks!

Can we read books of short stories? I can’t remember from past challenges. I know sometimes anthologies are allowed. These are all by the same author.

I have a lengthy list of food items for two of my books, if we need to we can always change out a word if it helps fill an empty spot

I’m good with whatever you do. I trust you and I know you’re a brainiac when it comes to this stuff

Sounds good. I was thinking we would get more points for having more items in a dish but that’s not necessarily true except for fish and chips with vinegar. I could go for some fish and chips right now 😋

I entered my first three books for 3 meals:

pasta: pasta, lamb, cheese, rosemary, onion, tomatoes, garlic, mushrooms, oregano, pasta (9 out of 10 items)

fish and chips with vinegar: fish, potatoes, lemon, salt, vinegar (5 out of 5 items)

tea: tea and water (2 out of 4 items)

Hopefully I did this correctly. Please let me know if I didn't or if I need to change anything.

ok thanks-I'll see what I can figure out.

I'm glad your classes are going well. I'm sure you have a heavy load this year with all the papers and whatnot. You'll ace it all I'm sure D-;

I have a bunch of words for two of my three books and a few for the other one. Would it be best to list them on here? I'm not sure I quite grasp the meal thing yet.

Lexi wrote: "No worries, Rebecca. I hope you are enjoying your reading."

You too! How are your classes going?

I just wanted to let everyone know I’m here and I’m reading. I have 3 books to post when I can get to a computer for a few minutes.
I made the mistake of starting the new Robert Galbraith book last week when it came out. I thought I could finish all 944 pages before we started this but I was clearly mistaken. Shame on me, I should’ve known not to make big plans like that with an author that always slows my reading down. The book is good, there’s just a lot going on to keep track of. I’m hoping to finish it this weekend although those might be lofty plans lol

Thanks, you too!

Bon appetit!

And we’re off (as of 4 minutes ago) 🍫🍪🍩🍿🎂🍣🥘🥙🧆🍔🌭🍟🍕🌯🌮🧆🥟🍱☕️🍵🍶🍯🥓🥯🥐🥖🍖🍗

Nice! Now I don’t have to mess with the library. Thanks!
