message 551: by Barb (new)

Barb I'm getting hung up on all of those blasted Us! It's going to take me forever to fill in all those spots.


message 552: by Angie H (new)

Angie H | 75 comments 88 "E's"??? Yikes! I my as well throw in the towel! j/k but that is going to take me FOREVER!!!!!

Anita Reads | 35 comments Wait we're allowed to use both title and author? Well now I'll need to go back and see if I can use those books I've read again.

Right now I'm mostly in need of O, E and T's.
And soon I'm going to need some Y books, too.


message 554: by Candyland (new)

Candyland | 174 comments Ever since I started this I've been keeping an eye open for vowel books (author or title). If I see one, and it looks even remotely interesting, I snap it up. U's are the worst for finding things to fill them with, and E's are the worst because SO. BLEEPING. MANY.


message 555: by Barb (new)

Barb That's what I like finding an E author -- either first or last name -- that I like. It's a whole new set of books to knock out some of those E slots :)

E authors are the best. Especially if they write titles that start with vowels as well :D


message 557: by Barb (new)

Barb Oh but then I have to decide which letter to us it for LOL I'm in a real quandary when an O author writes a book with an I title!!

.."


that works for THIS challenge, but like Barb said, when you have the E authors who write a book starting with a vowel AHHHH decisions!!!


message 559: by Barb (new)

Barb And of course, I forgot that in this challenge, we can use each book twice! My comments were regarding other challenges where you can use EITHER the title or the author's name :)


message 560: by Candyland (new)

Candyland | 174 comments I was about to ask why you had to choose =P I use 'em for both! Where it gets tricky is when you have an author whose first AND last name are vowels. Decisions decisions!

Also, progress finally rears its head in the form of two finished flavors, as well as using up all my V's \o/

Barb LOL Congrats, Candyland!


message 562: by Angie H (new)

Angie H | 75 comments Great job, Candyland! :)


message 563: by Candyland (new)

Candyland | 174 comments Thank yew :) Thank yew very much!


message 564: by Candyland (new)

Candyland | 174 comments An observation:

Yesterday I was a bit under the weather (previous night's dinner bit back in the morning, migraine in the afternoon), and by evening all I wanted was some ice cream. So I went to the Target down the street from my house, and as I stood looking at the Ben and Jerry's, two things were going through my mind.

1) Finished that flavor, finished that flavor...

2) Is that flavor new? I'M NOT ADDING IT TO MY CHALLENGE.

Then I took my Phish Food and went home. Deeeeelicious. But seriously, does this happen to anyone else?


message 565: by Barb (new)

Barb ROFL I can't say that it has, but I don't buy a lot of ice cream :)


message 566: by Anita Reads (new)

Anita Reads | 35 comments I haven't tried that either. I'm not much of an Ice Cream eater either. I do love Italian Ice cream though, and that's what I usually buy if I want Ice cream. Also B&J is pretty expensive here in Denmark. I don't want to pay 50 kr a carton, when most ice cream is about 30 kr. and these cartons are bigger as well.

Yay, Joanne! It's great to see you here!


message 574: by Angie H (new)

Angie H | 75 comments Welcome Joanne to the craziness!! Good luck! :)


message 575: by Angie H (new)

Angie H | 75 comments LOL Candyland that is hilarious!! we actually don't get many of the flavours in the stores here . always the same ones. Half Baked has to be my favourite. When I was pregnant and halfway through my pregnancy my hubby bought me that ice cream! :)


message 576: by Joanne (new)

Joanne I went back and forth for a while but in the end just couldn't resist. I backdated to the beginning of the year and just spend over an hour updating the challenge.

Did you remember you can use each book twice? Once for title and once for author??
That is one of my favourite parts of this challenge...makes it seem like it is going faster (although it is still going to take forever!) lol


message 578: by Candyland (new)

Candyland | 174 comments I don't buy a lot of ice cream either, generally, but after the day from the Bad Place, all I wanted was ice cream, and by golly I was going to have ice cream. I've heard Italian Ice is pretty good, but I've never had it, though.

HALF BAKED :D That's my favorite, but they didn't have it.

Welcome aboard, Joanne! Settle in for the long haul!


message 579: by Joanne (new)

Joanne I did use each book twice Angie, that's why my list looks so much nicer than it normally would (twice as good, lol).

Thanks Candyland!


❤Stephanie ღ♥ღMrs Daryl Dixonღ♥ღ I have decided to withdraw from this challenge.
