The Inheritance Games
My reading should pick up this weekend. I have a second job as the secretary to our Elks lodge. Tomorrow is the annual audit from the head Elks of our state. So I've been tied up with meetings and making sure all our ducks are in a row.
I will get all of the books updated to the spreadsheet in the next couple of days. I will be busy with several doctor appointments tomorrow so it will probably be Friday or Saturday. Just wanted to give you all a heads up. =)
I’ll have a couple books to add tomorrow.

Sorry, bad cold this weekend. I'll do some updating today. My skin tone ear buds that I wear at work have stopped working. That's really cut into my audio book time.
Good news is that I did read a book over 500 pages.

pg 180 "a hundred shades of cinnamon and sage, clove and cardamon" "flecked with motes of pepper and parprika" "sacks of garlic and jars of ruby peppers" "little puffs of saffron and salt"
pg 6 "jarred honey or fried apples"

Sorry about your earphones. That's no good. But congrats on the book over 500 pages! We definitely need more of those. I should have another one finished soon. =)
Mary C wrote: "Is there anything we are in need of more than anything else?"Right now probably books over 500 pages. We only have a few and that means that we can only use those books for the desserts and alcoholic beverages portion of the menu. I will try to read more books over 500 pages if I can squeeze them into my TBR.
Do we have a blurb for our restaurant? Also I have started a 500 page book.
Mary C wrote: "Do we have a blurb for our restaurant? Also I have started a 500 page book."
We don't have a blurb right now but if you all want to whip something up then we can add it. I am not good with that kind of thing so I didn't put anything on the spreadsheet.

Say Cheese and Die!
I guess we didn't do so well in the first round since we never actually allotted all of our books and created meals on the meals tab. Oh well. We can do better in the second round. Sorry that life got a little busy and I didn't get a chance to mess with the spreadsheet before the month was out. I will try to keep on top of it more this month.
I have no idea how to go about that or I would have helped.

I'm having surgery on my foot tomorrow. I might not be on much for a few days.

Pooja wrote: "ok I want to clear one thing because I am confused . The books we had read last month for that we will not get points ??"There are points on the summary page of the spreadsheet for September but we didn't create all the meals and assign all the books for the meals. As of now you, me, and Mary are the only ones that have submitted any books on the team and one person has quit. I thought that there would be someone else to help me with the spreadsheet and I had planned on assigning everything at the end of the month but my daughter was in the hospital and I didn't get to it in time. So I'm sorry about that. I am keeping up with things better this month. I'm trying to assign things as books are added. I am not sure if there are standby players or not for the three people that haven't posted anything but if one of you ladies could ask a mod that would be awesome. =)
The spreadsheet is all updated so far for this month. =)
Pooja wrote: "take care @mary cit's ok @vanessa just take care of your daughter.
I will ask mod if we can get others players in our team ."
Thank you. =)
Pooja wrote: "I got a reply from mods it says that we have to ask in thread for players . so i will write there if anyone interested to join ."That sounds great. Hopefully, someone will want to join us. =)
Pooja, here I am! :)I'll need to read through the rules and see where I need to jump in. I read ~ 3 or 4 books per week. I'm excited to join the team and I love the team name!

It's good to have you, Michelle! Most important is to keep track of any food or drink items you come across in your books and the characters' names. You can make a completion post with all the info and someone will add it to the spreadsheet or you can add it to the spreadsheet yourself if you are comfortable doing that. If you have any questions just let us know!

Shatter Me
Hi. I've been reading. I'll update soon. I have to keep my foot up and the meds make me sleepy. (They basically rebuilt my big toe) But I've been making notes and I'll update soon. It's just harder to do the posting and links with my leg elevated.

I just updated the spreadsheet with everyone's completion posts. =)
I'm going to try to do some updating. It's hard because of the way I have to sit with my foot. But I've got another week like this.
OK, for some reason I can't add links to the spreadsheet with my Surface Go. So I'll just type in the book titles.Scratch that. I can't edit from this computer. I'll have to log into my work computer and update from there. I can do that from home.
The First Starfighter: Game 1Unfortunately, the only food and drink references were "we ate at along table" type stuff. So hopefully you can fit it into a spell out.

As long as you list the title and author name then I can look it up so you don't have to bother linking if it's too tedious for you. I hope that you are feeling better. -hugs-
