Just finished some of my audiobook and we have another guess!

Could be (view spoiler), and even if not that, “of” seems likely for the middle word, should we guess F next?
The F was in the right spots, so I guessed an L. We can get another guess (and guess the title) with another .4 hours of audio or book finished. I finished my audiobook this morning and probably won't start another until tomorrow.
I’m listening to a 31 minute chapter right now before my meeting so we can move on! Once I’m done I’ll add it and guess.
Nice work! I’m close to finishing a book too, go team!

Titles will contain a word relating to food or drink.
Great job on getting #7 guessed! Added my pages read for yesterday.
Finished my audiobook on my flight and drive! The hours from the book and the completed book, I believe we have 2 more guesses!
I requested an N, because why not? I'll be driving the next two days so will report hours and books on the spreadsheet but might not be paying attention here much.
Thanks Traci! I'm on vacation and minus some hikes, all I plan on doing is reading, with a couple naps thrown in. So hopefully, I'll put up some extra numbers in the next few days.
Hi everyone sorry been a bit MIA. Our cable and wifi are down at home and are dealing with cancelling it and going with another provider (this is just the latest in a string of issues we have had and are tired of dealing with them). I dont want to use up my data too much but i do have wifi at work so will try to post as I can and input my pages/audio hours as i can. Great job everyone on our progress, we are killing it!
Any thoughts on puzzle 8? I was thinking of guessing a B or maybe Y?
Yeah I was thinking maybe bread was in there. But I didn’t know if I was just thinking weird things.

Do we have any guesses? Sorry I have been confused about this the whole time. Maybe a R, S or T next?
I don’t think we can do R, S, or T in the lightening round unless we’ve exhausted all other consonants. I’m cool with a G or M. I’ll finish another book today and about to drive a few hours. So I’ll be able to put up another guess soon.
Mod
I guessed an M, and I think P, G, C and Y are all reasonable next letters if anyone has a hunch one way or another for our next guess. Hopefully there will be an M!
No clue what this one is, but I just added some numbers and completions. I think we now have 3 guesses?
The only foodish thing I can think of so far is spice.
Let’s guess C, in case that’s right.
I think it's Confused SpiceAnyone know if there is a punishment for guessing the puzzle incorrectly?
Ok, if it's wrong, I guess we lose a letter guess. Do we want to try?I'm heading out on a drive/hike, so if the group agrees, please guess for me. Hopefully, I'll have another book completed on the drive!

This is a hard one and that seems to be really good guess. Seems like an obscure book but if no other options we may as well try.
Unless I hear an objection I will post the guess in a little bit.
I looked through a bunch of listopia about food and found nothing else that would fit. I went ahead submitted the guess crossing fingers and toes it is correct.
I’m sure it’s right, but I’ve never heard of it! We have a bunch of guesses racked up for the next puzzle when we get it. Great job team!
Yeah it was correct! And we have a lot of guesses! I’m going to guess N.
Mod
Book titles in this category contain someone's first and/or last name.
I guessed an M, and it might be that the first name is Mary? Does the title jumó out to anyone? If not, I might guess a Y to make sure. Could also be Mark...
Mod
I'm done driving and will update today's hours before I go to bed. Good job on Confused Spice, definitely never heard of it!
Awesome into the last puzzle! Great job team! And we still have 3 guesses to start the day.
I have a guess and am going to ask for L.
The L's fit. I think it's Mrs. Dalloway, so I put in an M and D. Seems like wheel of fortune guesses pop out at me when I'm trying to sleep and can't.

You've finished the Read-a-Thon! Don't forget to update the community spreadsheet with your reads, and submit your raffle entries for the individual challenge if you are participating!
Well you all are some great wheel of fortune players! I am not that familiar with it and was impressed with the strategic letter picking.
Congratulations to my teammates who were so good at this! I just provided pages and books read for clues.
Woo, congrats, Capulet teammates! And thanks Emily and the rest of the mod team, this was such a fun idea and structure for a readathon!
Nice reading with you Capulets! Thanks for all your hard work Emily!
