Haha, I’m very happy the prank had some success!

[Melanie, the neutral party]

What sold it was instead of making it a new thread/ topic, you inserted it into an already begun conversation.
Bravo!!

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

It's nice and only fair that someone pull a prank on us after all our silliness ^^ Well played, madam!

[Anna]

Also, not to beat an excellent prank to death, but it was almost as if YKK had been studying me and planning for this for a while. Not only is it absolutely something I would've done (added it to the shelf in 2020, I don't remember if I did or not), but forgetting to remove it and noticing a full year later, because someone pointed it out to me, is probably one of the worst things I can think of XD But then I think we're pretty similar in liking things to be neat and organized, so maybe it was actually very easy to do spur of the moment :)

[YouKneeK]

It was actually completely spur of the moment. Some evil little corner of my mind perked up at the “it's not on the shelf” comment and whispered to me about how very easy it would be to sow confusion. ;)

[Anna]

I will send you some of the mint chocolate brownies I have in the oven as a reward for a job well done!

[CBRetriever]

oo0000oo

mint and chocolate = my favorite combination which was very difficult to find in France as they don't seem to like the two flavors together

[Anna]

I will bring some to the clubhouse!

[YouKneeK]

They sound delicious, but since they were described as a “reward”, I think I’ll just wait to see if CBRetriever suffers any ill effects first!

[Anna]

XD

[Anna]

Actually, your reward is this lime I put in a coconut :) You're welcome!

[YouKneeK]

LOL, you are evil!

[Anna]

The 2020 April Fools poll was almost a bunch of books that were somehow related to funny SFFBC moments from the previous year. One of them was Key Lime Coconut & Murder. I'm glad I got to "use" it a year later, since we changed the poll to more SFF looking things :)

edit: The woman being poisoned in that blurb is not at all relevant to what we've been discussing! XD

[YouKneeK]

LOL, that’s hilarious. I think I’m relieved we read Bunnicula instead!

[Bonnie]

So, this Bunnicula is a real book? That we should (or can) read?!

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

yes! it's a delightful children's book.

[YouKneeK]

And did read, too! :)

[Melanie, the neutral party]

It is a fabulous SERIES. Read them all.

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

it was fun to walk down memory lane in that thread <3

[Anna]

I got a grocery delivery today, and I ordered a new to me chocolate, and it is so cute! It's also delicious, vegan, organic, fair trade, and it has a lovely hazelnut crisp, so I'm definitely bringing this to the clubhouse! I'll stock the pantry with all three flavors! But the fox one (hazelnut) is definitely my favorite! ^_^ The bunny is plain "milk" chocolate, and the polar bear is white chocolate with vanilla.

[Hank]

Well I finally made it. 300! Funny enough my review for 300 was the first one where apparently my review and opinions for More Than Human are clearly wrong!

My contribution to the clubhouse...

[Anna]

Congrats Hank! ^_^

(I need more of that foxolate, it was delicious.)

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

Woo!! 300!!

Clearly wrong?? I've been avoiding the spoiler threads so that I could jump in soon. But now I'm curious lol

[Hank]

I would have linked my review but I couldn't figure it out quickly. Somone (random person) decided someone on the internet (me) was wrong and jumped in :) The part that made it funny was that apparently I was wrong just having an opinion.

Congrats Hank!!! BTW if you are attracting random dissenting commenters to your review, in my view it means you are doing something right!! My review of Watership Down had several people defending the honor of good, moral rabbits. smh...

Moral rabbits and their honor XD

[Hank]

Here's to more reviews that get some controversy!

WOW! Congratulations, 300 seems superhuman!

Does the Tequila come with lemon and salt? Then I'm in (if it's not in one upper, very exclusive level of the clubhouse)

[Hank]

I usually go with lime and ice but for you Sabrina, lemon and salt for sure.

[Sabrina]

We have a ritual in Switzerland, not sure if it's known in other parts of the world too: lick the salt, trink the tequila and then bite into the lemon :-)

Those rabbits were murderers and that story was scary!!!

PS: Congrats on the 'fame' Hank. Don't let it go to your head ;)

Child's play. Forgive me if my memory is not entirely accurate here, but in my misspent youth (well, 18-to-25 demographic) the improved version had one licking the salt from the nape of one's date's neck, drinking the shot, and biting the lemon wedge from
said date's lips. It was named "(some other nationality) shots" -- I can't remember! Probably named erroneously, but I'm guessing not Swiss!

Congrats on 300, Hank! At least it will be memorable. ;)

So what I’m understanding from your contribution is that reading 300 books from our group shelf is enough to drive you to drink?

[Hank]

@Mike Seems like a well spent youth to me

@YouKneek The books weren't all good, I need some help with a few.

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

oh my! SFFBC after hours club has started it seems! haha

[Eva]

I prefer the "lick cinnamon, drink brown tequila, eat slice of orange" version.

Yay for honorable rabbits, lol!


I've also once had someone tell me that I had no business criticizing a famous fairytale king's interpersonal behavior and resulting suitability as a romantic partner. 😄

[Mike]

58.

[YouKneeK]

Today is the day… I hit my 200th book with The Black Company. It seems these days our “reward” for reaching a milestone is that we have to provide food and drinks for everybody else, rather than having gifts showered upon us? I’m not sure this is fair! I don’t cook or bake, except in moments of rare and usually soon-regretted insanity, but I’ll do my best to come up with something...

For my fellow oddballs (if there are any of you out there) who don’t drink alcohol, soda, coffee, or tea, but have an irresistible addiction to carbonation, I present you with a variety of flavors and brands of sparkling water! Straight from my own fridge. I really wish I’d had the lime and coconut varieties at home for this picture. :)


And for dessert, I’ll meet you all at The Cheesecake Factory! Alas, this picture is from the website and not a thing sitting in front of me. Even though there’s a Cheesecake Factory pretty close to me, I haven’t eaten there in years. I need at least 9 of you to come split one 10 ways with me. I think that’s the only way I could justify the 1380 calories, 98 grams of fat, 58 grams of saturated fat, and 87 grams of sugar in one piece of this thing!

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

it's ok, we didn't have soda, so we can have a whole cake.

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

and congrats! what a milestone! and yes we celebrate like hobbits here haha

[YouKneeK]

Haha, thanks! I like your logic. I haven't had soda in... years. So does that mean I can have one of each cake?!

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

as a very serious Health Professional (aka web MD browser) i say yes

A tragedy :( You'll have to read the next 100 books very quickly so that you can rectify this!

[Hank]

Congrats YouKneek! I too am addicted to carbonation so I totally approve. My soda stream is going fairly constantly.

[Michelle]

Congratulations!!

and I'm up to 127 - soon (this year) to get above 130

Congratulations! What a milestone! I'm up for dessert, I love cheesecake and I'd love to visit The Cheesecake Factory. The Big Bang Theory has made me curious and so far I've never had the chance (living in Switzerland).

[YouKneeK]

Thanks Allison, I will now be consulting you for all my health and nutrition concerns. I, um, may not actually follow your advice though!

Haha Anna, I got tired of those flavors actually, and mixing them together did NOT help, so it may be at least another 100 books before I’m ready to buy them again!

Thanks Hank, Michelle, and Sabrina!

Sabrina, as a fellow cheesecake fan, I really do recommend visiting The Cheesecake Factory at least once if you ever get the chance! Just maybe don’t eat the whole piece of cheesecake all in the same month. ;)
