Claudia | 103 comments I have 4 books with around 290 pg. should I add these or do you want to wait for books with more pages?


message 553: by Claudia (new)

Claudia , we have spaces for 3 books left and we need 14 items to finish all the mrals written down ..( have highlited them green )

Your 3 books will only give 12 items
...Has anyone got 1 x 300 book so we can cover all 14 items ???

Trio | 259 comments I do Janeylou - I was going to ask you if I should post it
Other Birds is 304 pages. I read it on 26 Oct.

it has: marshmallow, sweet potato, crab, cornmeal, turkey, mustard cream, endive, and corn (so far).

I also read In the Weeds on 28 Oct, it has 410 pages. I will have to scan it for foods, but there were definitely some there.

Janeylou | 1134 comments Trio, if you put one of your 300+ books in for 8 items then Cladia can use 2 of hers to cover the 6 items left .
Its sandwiches, pasta, quiche we need for and they are highlited near bottom if list .
Then we'll be finished and i can just check over tomorrow

Thanks girls x


message 557: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments Wow--what great work! And I'm glad you like my descriptions. They're fun, and I can finish them out when we get all our books in.


message 558: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments okay Janeylou - I put it Other Birds and added 4 things to sandwiches, 2 things to quiche. So I left 2 spaces for Claudia.

There are lots more food words, so if the 6 I picked don't work, or if I did it wrong just let me know.


message 559: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Trio, you still have another 2 items you can use with that book, so pop them in


message 560: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Trio & Claudia , there are 8 items still waiting to be added with your last books
Claudia you have 2 books = 8 items
Trio you still have 2 items to use , so whoever gets there first

Its last day tomorrow so needs to be done by then

message 565: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments I just added another meal, a special, from a book I read today. We have room for 1 more book, and I can maybe read a 300 page one before end of day tomorrow. I have a few in my queue for another challenge.

Janeylou | 1134 comments 👍👍👍

Shall we do a mix of spell.outs and hunt items again for next month as i know thers a mix for peoples favourites , but will try to use less 'i & u'


message 568: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments that sounds good Janeylou!


message 569: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments Yes -- as we finished the "assigned" stuff, I found that it was sometimes easier to spell than scavenge--Psycho had no food in it, but lots of vowels!


message 570: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Has anyone got a 301-500 pg book to add for the remaining 6 items ..if not ill add a book for 4.items and have to remove a meal


message 571: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments I do not--I can put in 4 items, however. I just can't read another book today!

Also, I just joined this challenge: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

It's a spelling hunt! at least 1 160pp book/week.

There's a spot for comments so if you do sign up add us. I don't know if we can edit out sign up (I'd just say since Kirsten and I both have kinda common names maybe put our GR ID in as well?)


message 583: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments Paris Daillencourt Is About to Crumble
Lightning Born

are on my list. Lightning Born is short, though. I'm also going to read Jay Hogan's Southern Lights series--the first had hella food. I have some other foodie books in my queue as well.

I felt the same way! Lots ok UK writings I think. I felt like there was a lot of "I don't give a fig about x" and I don't hear that in the US as often. (Although, I looked up the origin and looks like it originated in Spain!)

message 591: by Claudia (new)

Claudia | 103 comments sorry, that it took me so long.
Janelou, I took your last book out and added a >300 book , to finish the one open meal and I added another one
I also added 3 games

message 592: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Claudia , the extra meal is great but we can only have a maximun if 20 games so want be able to use them sorry..if you want to add some more items to your. quiche instead ?


message 593: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 1134 comments Actuall youve used 1 item too many so just add 2 items to quiche


message 594: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten | 573 comments Imma work on handing off the meals after dinner and trick or treaters, fyi.


message 595: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments I ate so much candy, I feel ill 😝 - I almost never eat those regular American candies, and I ate Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, Junior Mints, and Reeces.


message 596: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 696 comments I was beyond surprised that apparently the candy choice of kids is KitKat. Lucky for me that means there are a lot of reece's left lol.


message 597: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments I bought those tiny boxes of Junior Mints and my daugher kept insisting that noboy would want them... they were the first to go hahaha!


message 598: by Trio (new)

Trio | 259 comments Just FYI, looking over that list of books with FIGS in them... I have a sneaking feeling Bey Deckard's book is actually referring to figging though, and not figs 🤣😂😂. It is a great pirate story however, and I do recommend it.
