•When you find one of the items, list the Book Title and Author (or link the cover), date it, & rate it. Then specify where the item is found within the book. For audiobooks try to put the chapter if possible. If not, then at least let us know you got it from an audiobook.

Millie wrote: "How do scavenger hunts work?"

You just have to find the items listed mentioned somewhere in your book or on the cover. Then when you find it you just list the book, date it and rate it and also notate where you found it in the book. If you need to see how it works, we have scavenger hunt number 9 that ends tomorrow that you can use as a guide.

It's really fun to see what you can find. I've never once found all the words when I've played, but I've really liked looking for them.

Nope I wondered the same thing, maybe we just don't have them over here or we call them something else.

[VNerdbooks]

Oh good, thought I was being thick lol

[Debbie]

I checked the dictionary that I have...nope not there....goggled it...oh a big sword I guess?

[VNerdbooks]

Historically, Katana were one of the traditionally made Japanese swords that were used in feudal Japan, also commonly referred to as a "Samurai Swords".

I think I found globe and mannequin, but I can't remember which book...

[Marla]

Samurai traditionally carry 2 swords, katana is the long curved sword (like Michonne on Walking Dead) and the short sword is a wakizashi (most commonly known for use in seppuku, ritual disbowelment, when a samurai is dishonored)

[Elishia]

oh thanks that helped me picture it

[Paris]

Thanks Marla! I was trying to think of a character that people would know that carried a katana. Michonne!

Good luck on this round everyone. There are definitely some difficult words on this one.

[VNerdbooks]

Hmm i think i may have to start watching the walking dead, still not sure now..... although there is always Katana to fall back on just in case lol

[Paris]

Vicci, you should watch The Walking Dead because it's awesome.

[VNerdbooks]

I watched the 1st one and i think maybe the 2nd but never got any further.
I got to the part when he found his way to the camp and i think his best friend is having it away with his wife. Never got any further though, I end up doing that with series, unless I get complely sucked in after a couple of episodes eg Dexter, The Following. I don't bother.
Me and my hubby have been told about Breaking bad as well, watched the 1st one and thought it was boring!

[Rosina]

would a stall in an antique centre be allowed for antique store?

[Paris]

Rosina wrote: "would a stall in an antique centre be allowed for antique store?"

I'll take that.

[Paris]

Vicci, so many people loved Breaking Bad...I couldn't get into it. Same thing with Mad Men, Dexter, The Following. I totally understand.

[Rosina]

Paris wrote: "Rosina wrote: "would a stall in an antique centre be allowed for antique store?"

thanks Paris

[VNerdbooks]

Yeah I was a bit like hmm... i don't get it with BB Haven't watched MM so couldn't comment.
I usually love the 1st season of something and then it turns into crap! Mentioning no names....Prison Break, (Swoon for Mr Miller)
Lost.... I mean WTF I was actually Lost watching that.
Heros loved the 1st season 2nd one mehh.
Flash forward I loved this and then found out that they didn't even make a 2nd season .... DAMN YOU NETFLIX !!!!!!

[VNerdbooks]

Paris, quick question
Number 5 Biscuit
Here in the UK a biscuit is the same as a cookie, is it the same on here or is a biscuit something else in the US? And would cookie count?

[Elishia]

You keep asking all the questions I've been thinking about.

[Rosina]

For #30 Green beret can either the solider or hat be acceptable?

For #13 Horror Movie will the name of an actual horror movie be acceptable?

[Marla]

Bonus 8 - Man of the cloth, so any minister, priest or chaplain?

Bonus 9 - Not to be stupid but what video consoles are pre-1990? Atari? What about old video arcade games like Pac Man, Centipede or Galaga?

LOL, see when you make the list so difficult, we ask more questions and struggle :D (I think I should've joined this challenge when they were easier!)

[Paris]

Biscuit will count as the English cookie but it has to say biscuit or the American(?) version just as long as it says biscuit. So just cookie would not count.

Rosina yes on both forms of green beret and yes an actual horror movie can be used.

Marla any man of the cloth will do. I'm gonna say no on the arcade games cause I'm looking for the actual console like Atari. I will post a link later for both of your questions when I can get on a computer.

[Paris]

Okay so here's a list of Video Game Consoles and what year they're from.

Man of the Cloth

[Marla]

Thanks for the clarification Paris, and right now, I will say I will never find the game system :D

[Paris]

I don't think I will either Marla.

[JenniferJ]

OK I got a few questions. Don't think these have been asked if so forgive me for the duplicates.
:(

For Katana would sword or Samurai Sword be acceptable or it has to say Katana?

What would An Overbearing Mom be? Would that be like protective or bossy or meddling?

Would wig work for A Toupee?

Would annual work for A Yearbook?

[VNerdbooks]

Ok Elishia this helps, thanks again Wikipedia lol.
A  biscuit in the United States and Canada, and widely used in popular American English, is a small bread with a firm browned crust and a soft interior. They are similar to British scones 

[Paris]

Jennifer..

Katana - I'll take katana or samurai sword but not just sword.

Your examples for overbearing mom are perfect.

Annual would work as long as its in the context of a school annual

For toupee I'd prefer toupee since its male specific but if the wig is on a man I'll take that.

[Apoorv]
