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

I'm sorry, Tammie. I only know that because I signed us up as a group that the MOD sent me the template. But if there's something I need to do for you all to access it I hope to find out soon because I will be on a mini-vacay tomorrow through Monday. We're going to Oceanside with my daughter and her two daughters. We're trying to beat the heat wave here. It was 102 today and this week it's predicted to be up to 111 but thankfully it's a dry heat and not humid in CA.

BTW I am trying to add a meal etc. but I'm not sure about some things so if I mess up someone please let me know. I figured I would add what I think I know how so that those who've not played it before can see how it works but I obviously don't want to confuse anyone!

Tammie, I am definitely not part of a captains' group. I'm probably the most inept person with SS in this group! I did what you said, so can you access it now?

I signed us up as a team and I was sent the template but I don't know if I am the one to grant access or how I would do that.

I don’t think we need to do anything that will create extra work for anybody, especially for one person in particular. And I am going with the flow because even though we are competitive we also want to have fun and not make it a lot of work for anybody. I think, if I remember correctly, we can put all of our books on the spreadsheet but if we want to remove any at the end of the month or whenever that particular round is ending we can; however, sometimes we need those shorter books to complete something like fish and chips. But I’m good with whatever everyone else wants. We could just started off as is and see if we feel the need to create anything different.

Personally, I think that would be very helpful. :)

Angie has good ideas! She’s definitely a fantastic organizer. It’ll take me just a little bit to remember how to do everything but I think it’ll come quickly. I played the first time but I forget so easily. Trisha, it will only take you a minute to get it. I’m ready to start!

Oh no! Hmm…maybe we can make something positive out of it. We’re all smart!

Hello Team What the Fork! Dropping by from Team Wok on the Wilde Side to say good luck with the opening of your new restaurant! Hope you all love the challenge. :)

Kindle saves us! Lol I keep finding food in books and think I shouldn’t read them now but need the ones I am reading for other challenges.

We have our official name now! Woo hoo! I am watching my grandchildren so I cannot see the image that was posted but I can’t wait to get home and look at it on my computer!

Thank you, Angie.

Thanks, Anna.

Thanks, Trisha.

Looks like it’s either Tequila Mockingbird or Wok on the Wilde Side.

Please, everyone pick ONE of those 2 as your favorite and we will have our restaurant name!

Amanda might also have some names suggestions.

How about if everyone puts 2-3 of your favorites and then we do a vote. Mine would be


Tequila Mockingbird
Wok on the Wilde Side
Of Rice and Ramen

Ramen restaurants are becoming pretty popular!

I also like Turnip the Beet but that might be more for a health food restaurant.

Hello ladies! I for one am so excited to play this one again! It was quite complex but fun looking for foods and that vinegar! lol I am hoping I will remember a lot from the last time but if not, it'll come.

We have an awesome team! Amanda, I sent you a friend request. Everyone else, we're already friends.

I'll do a brief intro as most of you know me already.

I'm a retired high school teacher who taught English for 25 years, yearbook for 18-19 years, and multicultural literature for 5-6 years.

I'm a mother of 5 grown children, 3 girls and 2 boys. I have 22 grandchildren, 12 boys, 10 girls, and I have 5 greats, 3 boys and 2 girls but in December it will be 3 girls :) I also have 2 dogs, Jazzy, a bichon, and Rocky, a border collie/lab mix found in a box on the side of the road with his 4 siblings just abandoned at approximately 5 weeks of age. My daughter found the box and we rescued Rocky even though we had 2 other dogs at the time. Buddy has since died :( but we love our fur babies.

Favorite genres: historical fiction, mystery, psychological thriller/thriller, romance but not erotica. I've read erotica but I rarely, if ever, found any to be 4-5 star books for me.

OK, down to business! We need a team name other than TBD Soon! lol

I found a few so here goes:
Wok N' Roll
Gochew Grill
Thai One On
Thai the Knot
Lettuce Eat
Thai Us Up
Turnip the Beet
Lord of the Fries

Tammie's Ideas:
Tequila Mockingbird
Custard’s Last Stand
Lettus Eat
Garden of Eaten’

Any other suggestions are welcome!

We have our team finalized but no team name as of now:
