With the Queijo Coalho spell out, we need a Q. Does anyone have a Q in book that you've finished or are about to finish?

I'm still reading Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking and am not sure if I'll finish before the spell-out gets locked.

@Richard, you're right. The book is really good so far. It's nice to know introverts are being thought and written about

All these cheese challenges have increased my cheese intake. Today's cheese snack was cheddar cheese with salt and vinegar. So good.

Halloumi is great when it's drizzled with something. If it's got lemons on it, it's got me hooked. Honestly, anything with lemons has me hooked
Elizabeth and Richard, I'll keep your recipes in mind come summer in Australia. Halloumi salad does sound refreshing.
And yes, Karen, crispy halloumi... yummm

We have 45 minutes left until the end of month 1 and the start of month 2.
In case anyone is curious, we're coming 6th out of all the teams! Everyone is doing a great job :)

Does anyone have any reading goals for the next month? Any books you're excited to read?

I've finished my last book for month 1. I'm going to try read more BOM in the next month

I'll be finishing one more tonight before the cut off as well

I'll read Thinking, Fast and Slow for - 60 Read a book tagged "Education" at least 10x. I started the book a while ago but never got past chapter 2. I can't remember what I read so I'll start again

I've also started Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking for 61 Read a book that is in the Food for the Soul List

I had to google this before I put my book down. It is located in Europe but it’s not part of the European Union anymore. But I’ll take my book off when I get home Elizabeth and you can use your book there 😊

Yes! They’re the ones I found Karen! Thank you

I spent about an hour yesterday trying to find a book where the first word in the text is "They". I never thought to ask ChatGPT for help until it come up in this chat! It mentioned some books but I can't get them on KindleUnlimited. I'll keep looking until someone else manages to find one

so lucky!

ooh yum! Has anyone tried this cheese before?

Hello everyone!

It's so nice to see familiar names and some new names! Excited to play with you all and learn about Towers!

I haven't been to many of the big towers, but it is fascinating how they make such big structures that don't collapse. I think there's a documentary on either Disney+ or Netflix that shows big and complex buildings/towers and how they were built. I watched one episode, then forgot about it haha.

Anyway, I think my first book will be . I'll hunt to find others and a few chunky ones

Res!

Res 😊

Well done everyone! We came 11th which I think is still fantastic
Hope to see you around in other challenges 😊

Congrats to the winners and thanks mods!
