I still notice food words in books!! I thought it would fade with time but alas it still has not. That was a really fun challenge.

Same!

[Steven]

Karen, that challenge was so much fun!!!

and yes, Lisa, I've noticed so much vinegar since then!!!!

[Christina]

Yup food words are still a "trigger" for me too lol, although I don't think I've EVER read a book with vinegar in it.

[Vicki]

I must agree that I also still notice food words, especially those books with a lot of them. I was hoping we’d have that challenge again. It was really fun!

haha
I feel like I've missed out as I helped to manage that one rather than playing it. Now I will start to notice vinegar more often ;)

Now it seems every second book has a vinegar.. Is there a chance that Restaurant will return? I better start making a note of where it pops up then for future reference. 🤣

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I’ll check with the gang and see if we can bring it back later this year 😉👍

[Sonia]

YEY!!!!!!

[Gunit Kaur]

I am glad I found this link!

[Cat]

Not news about the next NBRC challenge, but I was excited to discover that the Manx language has a word for "sticky beak", as in peering into windows / being nosy. And it's "skeet"

Which made me very happy when I linked that immediately to Rita Skeeter!

[Sonia]

What is the Manx language?

Funny! Great connection!

[Cat]

Isle of Man. Teeny island in the Irish Sea, between England and Ireland. It's a Celtic- Norse mix, so some Gaelic type words and some Norse stuff. It's an endangered language, but the island is awesome. Claims to have the longest continuous parliament system, rivals New Zealand for first women's vote, and is an odd mix of old and new- big area of income is online gaming, poker stars had a massive presence. Plus film industry. And of course tax haven dodgy financial dealings

I'd been wondering about that too

i think it will be tower teams in Nothing But Reading Challenges....I'm guessing..

[Gunit Kaur]

I am guessing tower teams too...

[megan]

WOBBLE!

[Audrey Jane]

Haha, indeed time for Wobble to make a comeback :D

what group is that in Audrey??

[Steven]

I think Wobble has been permanently retired by all former, current, and future NBRC mods. Lol!

[Emelie]

I'm always longing for Tower Teams

What's the best thing about it, it'll be a new one for me this year???

Shhhh don't tempt the fates like that.

We were pretty sure that Tower Teams would be retired with its mamma, because nobody would be able to tame the beast.

And that was... 6 editions ago?

Aww, RIP Wobble !

I didn't say that. I said not to tempt fate.

Wobble had a very fun concept... but it was a nightmare to run. Besides, very long challenges tend to feel an obligation. I rather have two different challenges, with a little break in the middle than a big one like wobble.

But that's my two cents. Not my call to make anymore. I'm pretty happy to be in the sidelines. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be miserably trying to keep up with such a long long challenge.

[Jenny]

ARGHHHHH!!!
I don't recognize the teaser picture in the newsletter!
Does someone know what it is?

[Sophie, The other one]

Hehehe, I do, but I'm not telling

[Judith]

Yes, there are at least 6 someone's who know what it is.

Nana-nana-boo-boo!!!

[Steven]

It's an apartment building called Muse in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida.

Architecture maybe? Beaches? Something to do with the word muse?

Glad we are thinking the same! And are being oh so mature about it.

[Cat]

[Melindam]

They also said get ready to "feel inspired" so that combined with "muse" feels like the right path . . . though what that actually means I have no idea!!! Haha.

So are those the 9 Muses of Florida or Ancient Greece? :)

The June BOM theme is mythology...

[Steven]

I just realized they also might have just meant a TOWER for tower teams. LOL

[Steven]

I am not sure they'd repeat a theme. We had a mythology themed Tower Teams for TT IV. I was on Team Poseidon.

[Melindam]

But the 9 Muses makes kind of sense, if last year it was TT8, right? :)

[Jenny]

9 muses are...
Calliope- epic poetry,
Clio- history,
Erato- romantic poetry,
Euterpe-music,
Melpomene- theatre- tragedy,
Polyhymnia- dance (and geometry and rhetoric),
Thalia- theatre-comedy,
Terpsichore- light poetry and dance, and
Urania- astronomy.

At least according to one website.

(I want astronomy as the James Webb telescope might be sending out images by the time TT starts!!!!!)

Euterpe would be my muse of personal choice, but they all sound cool. :)

[Sammy]

9 muses sounds like fun... Calliope was an online name I used for a while years ago. :)

[Sonia]

Is there a muse for smutt mm books? If so, I want that one!

*giggles*
