Also I just finished a book that works for Spell-it-out M for the United States if we want to use it to generate our next country?Ma'am (yes that's her name) - Solid Gold Murder
I switched one of my finished books for mini 1. - Amanda I switched yours (a grain of wheat) with (bad tourists). But not sure if it needs to be adjusted :)

I just finished mine too but I'll do yours so that if mine fits the next country we can use it :)

Panquehue originates in the Andean Aconcagua region of Chile. It is named after the Chilean town of Panquehue, located in the fertile Aconcagua Valley. It is made from pasteurised cow's milk of breeds raised exclusively in the Andes region. This ensures that the cheese is free of growth hormones and artificial ingredients.
Panquehue comes in several varieties, such as the semi-soft variety with a nutty, creamy flavour and a velvety texture, or a spicier variety with coriander, cumin, and red chili peppers. The cheese is traditionally paired with wine and crackers, although it can also be used in the preparation of cheese dips.
Here's the countdown for the end of the round: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...Please have any books you've finished on the sheet within 24 hours of that end!
Added my Airplane book. Might be too late. But I finished it early this morning and the Google Sheets app took to long to open and I fell asleep.
Sorry guys, this past month has been busy IRL. I was reading and when I had time to post my books to Goodreads, I'd add them to the shelf for this challenge, but was trying to be selective about the ones I added to the SS and then time just got past me. I don't think I'm going to discriminate based on page numbers in this last stretch and try to carve out more time to post to the SS each week.
Wait, we still have more time to add books?
Yes you can still add. I'm not sure there's technically a time when you cant add for the round they just wont be able to be used for some minis so it's best to upload as soon as possible. If there is a deadline it would be around 24 hours from the end of the round so that would be my preference!
@Trio Can you add "Not Written in the Stars" to your shelf?

I found a book that takes place in Denmark (yay). Non fiction is okay, right?
Yup so long as it's the primary subject matter of the book
Amanda wrote: "Yup so long as it's the primary subject matter of the book"the whole book does take place in Denmark... but it also has red, white, and blue on the cover. I left it in the books tab so hopefully it works somewhere

I'm going to put it under the World Wheel mini (red, white, and blue on cover) since Denmark's a level 1 country and it'll help us get closer to getting another country
@Rebecca Can you get a small quote containing the word "gravy" from "Love is a War Song"?

Halloumi
Halloumi is a Cypriot cheese traditionally made from goat's and sheep's milk, or a mixture of the two. Cow's milk is sometimes used. It's most appreciated as a grilling cheese because it maintains its shape when heated and grills well.
Halloumi is a white, layered cheese, similar to mozzarella. It is a semihard, unripened, and brined cheese with a slightly spongy texture. Its flavour is tangy and salty, and it has no rind. When eaten raw, Halloumi is plain and somewhat rubbery with salty notes. However, once crisped in a pan or on the grill, it becomes beautifully crispy and savory on the outside and sensually melted on the inside, similar to the consistency of a marshmallow when toasted.
Should I be focusing on finding location books or specific letters we are having problems with??
I still think mini 3 is the priority followed by mini 1! The letters for mini 4 are really just an overflow at this point (is how i'm treating it)But really, whatever fits best with what you want to read :)
Yay! I also just finished the last book for China
Headed to Egypt as well!7/25 and after for both countries
One of my books works for MPG mythology and character is a philosopher. I’ll leave with the character one bc that one seems more specific
Hi team! I will be gone from Aug 2-10 and have no idea if I will get anything read, so I'm to front load this round!

Monterey Jack
Monterey Jack originated in the Mexican Franciscan friars of Monterey, California. Around the 1700s, these monasteries around the Monterey region were making a semi-firm, creamy, mild-flavoured cheese from cow’s milk which was aged for a short period.
The high fat and moisture content in this California-born, semi-hard cheese helps it melt more smoothly than an ice cream cone in Death Valley, yet the mild flavour of this mild and creamy white cheese won't get in the way of other ingredients.

I just finished a book (Stiletto) that works for the UK country. Since it's getting to the end of the challenge, do you want to add that as the last book for our Mini 1 itinerary, and then move the Serbia books to the next itinerary? So that way we can start working on that one too.
Feel free to replace my Serbia! I might have to dnf because it’s not really grabbing my interest
