oh. I didn't know that how can I find out the word count?
Miranda wrote: "oh. I didn't know that how can I find out the word count?"I had already linked it on page 1, but here it is! the website is called arbookfind and comes in super handy for these challenges, although not all books are on there of course.
another way of making sure a book is long enough for frozen meals is checking the audiobook. if it's longer than 5 hours it works for frozen and fresh meals, if it's shorter than that we can only use it for fresh meals.

I had tumeric last time so I’m hoping I come across it again but I though there is no way for bamboo and then it just shows up during this audio!
Oh wow I'm surprised too! Both bamboo and turmeric are hard words to find!I had mushrooms in HP7 earlier today :)

Yay! :)
Finished up
Gonna add it here in a minute.
^ I'm pretty sure wordcounters only estimates word count, therefore we won't be able to use it unfortunately

I still need to add Daisy Jones & The Six to the spreadsheet and I’ll have Truly Devious done today. I’ll get them added this weekend, things have been busy and I’ve been sick 😷

I'm hoping to finished up another book this weekend.. Kristen I love this series so far it's been amazing
I should finish HP7 Sunday or Monday, and for some reason I have lost interest in Hocus Pocus, but will try to find an audiobook to get me through it more easily!I've also been struggling with a cold the past few days, but it's not too bad anymore. Hope you're feeling better, Amanda!
great!!! i hope you are both feeling better, nothing worse than feeling loaded with the cold!! xx

I’m just starting Hocus Pocus today, I’m feeling is the halloween mood so fingers crossed I like it lol I hope you’re feeling better! I’m doing better besides my normal chronic illness issues. This weather change is just getting to me I think.
Hey, I'm the friend Christina told you about! I'm so sorry I'm only checking in just now, but this week is just crazy. I'll have more time by Tuesday again, just have lots of due dates at Uni until Monday. I still don't get the challenge a 100%, I hope that'll change soon haha
Welcome Daniela!! Im sure you will get the hang of it, i was pretty confused at the start too!! Any questions just ask xx
kirsty gray wrote: "Welcome Daniela!! Im sure you will get the hang of it, i was pretty confused at the start too!! Any questions just ask xx"I just don't get what exactly we have to do. We have to put together our own meals? But like one book is one meal? just so confused xD
For now just keep a note of the book and any characters that are in it, then as you read every time you read any food item keep a note of it and the page number, then once youve finished the book you input it all into the tracking spreadsheet we have and then we make up the meals from there x
So dont worry about the meals just now as you can use multiple books to make a meal x

If you use audio books keep track of the chapter name/number :)
Just got confirmation on Hocus Pocus & The All New Sequel so it can be used for a 500+ page book which will be great since Christina and I are both reading it!

Ok, so I have to read a book for uni, I'll be done with it today. It's a theater play with 116 pages. No food items so far, but I can use it for spell-outs if I understood correctly?
Oh and I saw
is a BOTM. I have it basically laying on my nightstand, waiting for me to finally start reading it. So that'll be my next book

this book I'm reading I'm having a hard time staying interested in. but I'm determined to finish it. sorry ladies
Just finished up
boy was it hard to keep going and it didnt have many good foods in it.gonna add here in a minute.
I finished my play and should hopefully be done with Fahrenheit 451 by the end of the weekend. The book is quite short after all
oh and other question, I might've missed it. do I need a shelf for this challenge?
Kirsty, I just saw you read Coraline! did you like it? I'm thinking I might read it next as it's quite short or listen to the audiobook!
Christina wrote: "Kirsty, I just saw you read Coraline! did you like it? I'm thinking I might read it next as it's quite short or listen to the audiobook!"Yes i really enjoyed it! Quite scary for a kids book!!!!!!
Christina wrote: "Kirsty, I just saw you read Coraline! did you like it? I'm thinking I might read it next as it's quite short or listen to the audiobook!"That is one of my favorite books! I read it in 4th grade and have been in love since :)
I used Daniela's play that had no ingredients in it, Miranda's One Tiny Lie which had hardly any ingredients and my current read Anne of Green Gables (the graphic novel) for 3 spell-it-outs. it wasn't easy, but I think I made it work in the end.I also worked on meal descriptions, but could use help with the drink ones especially lol. got absolutely no inspiration there haha!

do the names have to have the ingredients in the name or should we just be creative?
Nope just be creative qitht he names, i think the more creative the names and descriptions are the better as its a criteria for the reviewer isnt it??
is there a tab in the spreadsheet to see which meals/drinks we are having trouble with naming? I'm up to helping with finding names, but I need to know what the meal/drink consists of xD makes it easier
If you go onto the 1st page of this thread and go into team spreadsheet, one tab will have kitchen meals created round 2 where you can see the meals and whats in them and then if you go onto shopfront for round 2 thats where you need to put a name to each meal with a brief description xx
I see, so f.e we want a description for chardonnay - it could go along like: juice that makes the moms party?

I have 3 books I need to add to the spreadsheet and I should have Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man done tonight. I’ll get them on the sheet ASAP. I’ve just not been feeling well 😓

That’s awesome! Super excited to have a full team ☺️ And thanks for checking the word count for me, I hadn’t had a chance to get on the website yet but I was pretty sure it was under the 40K.
