Vicki’s Comments (group member since May 01, 2018)

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

Does anyone know how to fix an error on the SS when you inadvertently DELETE all your foods when adding another? Normally I can hit the left turned arrow and that fixes/undoes what you just typed but it doesn't on the SS, so I have accidently deleted a lot of foods twice now and then have to relook them up (if I don't already have them listed in my phone) and type them all in again. Frustrating to say the least!

So far none of my books have watermelon in them. I thought sure that Country Heaven would but nope. :(

That book has a TON of ingredients/foods so if anyone needs any from it or any of my other books feel free to use anything. This is a team effort! Just please off any items you use. I'm going to HOPEFULLY finish adding my foods today. Then I'll work on meals. Country Heaven has a lot of more unusual things that I don't find in most books so you might want to look at my list. I think we could make a cool special or two.

BTW what is a SWINBOURNE item?

That sounds so fun! A cabin in the woods, your hubby (John is a GREAT name...my dad's and brother's names too but my bro is Jon)! I hope you have a fantastic time and relax!!!

Do we want to try doing meals with the minimum items in order to have more? Also, I only added some of my books because there it was closed off at the bottom of the SS for Round 3. I can add more if I’m allowed.

I read 2 short books, one is 106 pages and one is 110 pages.
The Young Case and The Somerset Case

Both by Diana Xarissa so the only letters we could use (if the page count is all right) are S and Y

You can, but you still need the minimum ingredients for..."

I'm a lousy cook! But I have so many cool foods that are like that description but I wouldn't know exactly what to put with it.

Thanks, Jenny...you always know what to do. :)

BTW can we add whole foods such as "pecan crusted trout" or "blue cheese cream sauce" if it was listed like that in the book?

I just added my 1000 foods to one book...slight hyperbole but I probably could. LOL

That one book has SO many less often found words, so if anyone finds something and it's not crossed off, feel free if you find something you need to make a meal. I'll be working on meals too. I have my other books to add the foods for so I'll be trying to finish that tonight or at the latest tomorrow.

POST #384 looks like the FUN is really beginning!

I added eleven books tonight that all have a page count over 300. If we want/need more books I can add those as well. I have a lot that are between 200-299. I'll add the foods for those books tomorrow. The Summoning won't add a number of items I can use, I guess because Jenny already use her maximum for the same title. Do I need to remove it or can that be fixed?

Hi Vicki! Yes, you'd have to choose the best-fitting noun (in your opinion) from ..."

Thank you :)

The rules say you'll post an adjective on Wednesday. Do we need to do something with the adjective?

Thanks, Tammie. I didn't realize we had SO long for this round! I don't want anyone to have to do my books for me. I'll get them done! I thought I only had until this Saturday, October 31, so I am thrilled and much relieved! LOL

This one looks different, so I'll give it a go since if I mess up I won't hurt any teammates. lol

When does this round end? I am having a lot of issues with my computer lately...so sorry guys. I'll get them on, I hope. We keep having to unplug our computer and plug it back in but if my hubby isn't home, I can't get to it to do anything. :(

I still need to get my books added. I’m sorry guys, but I’ve been super busy and I keep having issues with my computer. Ugh...so frustrating. I will add them soon!

Hey guys, I have several books to post too. I’ve been reading and updating for other challenges today, so tomorrow I’ll update this challenge.

What fancy words are we looking for?

Tammie, it would be a lot easier if we had an idea of how many fresh and frozen meals. I think you did an outstanding job and if we get lower points, we'll know for next time unless it's switched up.

I think Anna and I pitched in to help last night and we all made a great team, but you've done SO much for us! Thanks...one round of meals down. Now let's read to impress and improve our meals for round 2!
