yea, capers. Don't see those or anchovies much at all in American books. Tuna really either.

Good luck Keely.

"Look at the crowds" is the column in the shop front in yellow and it is finding "tuna, anchovy and ???"

I thought it was the child distraction items, but those actually go in the meals as a bonus. We only get 20 of those.

I used Hot Chocolate as a non alcoholic drink, not a desert...I thought that was the difference. Shoot...I keep reading these books that mention food a lot but not specific food.

I'll await your final thoughts on that book Heather

Next question......anyone read this months BOMs before? I like thriller but Romantic Suspense is more my thing. And I don't like it too off the rails. I can handle Lock Every Door by Riley but Gone Girl is more my speed. Wondering where either of the BOMS fall.

So....when we find the child distraction items...sorry I saw where Keely added the book the other day but now she has done what answers my question

Disregard my rambling, I have to go look to see what the "Look at the crowds" item column is in the store front

No Melissa, it got weird at around meal 90, it was doing it to me last night. I will fix it for you


All fixed

Melissa, for Pastry in meal 97, can you use the Y character from Crown of Midnight, Please. Or tell me who the Y character is, and I'll make the change.

You used Archer Finn in tea #27 and fish #80 (sorry I only noticed bc I was trying to find what letter to trade for the Y). You can only use a character as first or last name one time. So I fixed that and using the Y will use your missing letter from there

Thank you

I got a C from Nightmare to finish it for you (Keely I think) and I'll finish my book and audiobook tomorrow so I went ahead and added them in case I get home from work late tomorrow. (And used up their letter count)

I noticed Tuna is one of the words we can use for extra points in Round 2. Did anyone else see that part in the restaurant rules? And what the other words are?

Chana Masala only has 1 S so I moved the extra S to the next meal
:-)

Also, I had 1 letter left in Vile Secrets and am reading a book with lots of A characters so I can do it as spell-it-out to

I can finish the sandwich for 85 if you are ok with it having lime on it instead of lemon??

that makes more sense. Especially since I couldn't find anything over on their side except that round 1 was Sept 1-30

I kind of answered my question, Round 1 ends Sept 30. But are we allowed to keep adding to the restaurant after the 23rd for Round 1?

Well crude, work has been so crazy that I didn't get all my books used up...so are we starting round 2 as of the 24th? And do the books we didn't use up in round 1 just stay that way? I don't remember that part from two years ago.

The notebook finally fell out of the crevice in the chair it was stuck in so here I go...anyone know why my books aren't linking to Goodreads? I have been having to add the link myself

I have bread and pepper (as in salt and pepper) in my list, when I catch that notebook...

ill go through and work it all out if need be.

Ugh, the little notebook that I write words down in, fell between the gap in my recliner and is either stuck still or fell where I can't find it. So I will add my meals in as soon as I get that located. LOL!!!

So I finished up the sandwich and the curry (you had used up the Woods book, so I hope that was ok). If anyone comes across a lemon, can you please add it to the Fish n Chips in meal 4. I bet there was one in Arctic Wild but it was an audiobook so I couldn't go back and look.

@Heather, lol. One of the people that didn’t join this time had us all in line. I thought those things had to be that way.

I am not trying to be a pest, really 😀

So on the Menu items, the min number is what has to be used. Curry and sandwich were not 10 last time (I see we didn’t do it last year).
