Tina ❣’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Can we get team 11's name changed to 'Tienuurtj'? It's the Belgium Dutch word for Elevenses which is morning tea around 10:30am

Oh I definitely will! I've been dreaming about going to Italy for years now.

@Lisa - That's almost every country on earth! Impressive! Have you locked in any country yet or is it still up in the air?

Yeah that's what I understand as well. We also have a maximum of 80 books we can read in round 1 which starts 9pm, 19th September (UTC Time) or 7am 20th September (AEST). I'm not sure which timezone you're in Rina, Susan and Carrie!

I'll have a play around closer to the date and find some books that will fit well for it

I like it too! I'll ask my Dutch friend how she'd pronounce it so we know

Oh that's alright. We could just be called Elevenses or the Dutch term for it.

What does everyone think?

Hi Carrie!
I had plans to travel to Italy this year but that didn't work out for obvious reasons. Switzerland's on my 'to travel' list as well

I didn't realise it was a thing let alone that it had a name! I thought everyone just got hungry then, so work places made a thing of it haha. Or that it was a leftover thing from school (recess, lunch...)

I came up with some names whilst waiting for out thread and got:
- Jamaican Me Hungry
- Lava Luau
- The Cheeky Tiki

One Coin upon reaching "Ocean Blue" level.

Mind if I join you guys? I'm reading 2-3 books at this stage

That looks kinda hectic! You must have had fun creating it Karen

And I agree Christina, does look intimidating 😂

Aww thanks team! Loved playing with all of you! You've all been a pleasure playing with and I'm really happy with how we went. 9th isn't too shabby! We did do super on the BOTMs 🥳

I'll definitely see you all around and I'm already seeing a few of you in Turf Wars and other challenges 🤪

🤔 I'm going to take a guess that the next challenge is something food related...? 🕵️‍♀️
