Sure. I'll take that Vicci.

[K~Terror]

Why do I feel so ripped off now to read a whole entire book and find NO new scavenger hunt words... Shouldn't every book at least have ONE??? It should be a requirement! LOL!

@Vicci Audio Nerd - Thanks for the reminder on Open Minds!

@Vicci Audio Nerd ..."

Haha...I feel the same way!! Just finished an audio book and didn't find one single word. I was temped to listen to it again because I didn't believe there was not one single scavenger word!

Post updated:)

True! I wasn't sure if I was annoyed with the book for not having a word - or annoyed with myself because surely there WAS a word and I missed it!

QUESTION: re: BONUS #2 Stroller

Would "pram" work? Characters are living in England in 1930s and refer to pushing the baby "in his pram."

[♦Ashley♦]

I have a passage that states "His eyes changed color with every shift in the light." Would this count for someone with different colored eyes?

[♦Ashley♦]

Also, for red shirt/top, would red dress count?

[Paris]

BC: Pram would work. Yes.

Ashley: are his eyes just going from like green to hazel or something like that or are they really changing to a more fantastic color? What I'm overall looking for is either two different colored eyes or uniquely colored eyes (like purple, gold, silver, etc).

Also, as long as the dress is red on the top then that would work.

Thanks for the questions!

TY:)
I don't think the eyes are what you are looking for, but the dress will work.

Question re: # 32 Red shirt/top

Would "red coats" qualify? The reference is to British solders who were easily identified by their red coats.

Sure BC. I'll accept that.

[Jonquil]

Sprinkler and blind date took forever; but I'm done!!

Wait...all done, as in all of them? Congratulations!!! I'm super jealous. I have yet to finish one of these. lol

[Book Concierge]

QUESTION re 38. Pool Table

Would "billiards" work? (The book doesn't mention the table, just that the characters play the game.)

[Paris]

Yeah that works BC

[Book Concierge]

Question: #4. Sundae

Would "banana split" count?

[Paris]

Book Concierge wrote: "Question: #4. Sundae

Sure, I'll take that too.

[♦Ashley♦]

Paris, would just mention of a scavenger hunt work? or does there actually have to be one. This is the context: "She going to do one of her, uh, what do you call it, not scavenger hunt- Treasure hunt"

[Paris]

Argh. I know you messaged me about this Ashley, but I wanted to answer here. Yes this would work. Also, I'm sorry that I didn't see this. Goodreads drives me bonkers sometimes.

[♦Ashley♦]

hahaha no problem:)
I figured you didn't see it.

[Paris]

I'm down to my final five items: caviar, sucker, watermelon, pearl necklace and bonnet.

We got a little over a month left, how's everyone doing?

Also, if you have any items you'd like to see on the next hunt that starts in October, please PM them to me!

[♦Ashley♦]

I've got lighthouse, s'more, sprinkler, pool table, old car and kilt left....I better get reading!

[Paris]

I just got kilt. I thought that one would take me awhile.

[K~Terror]

I need to update my post - was so happy to find mustard yesterday!

I'm down to caviar, sucker/lollipop, watermelon, s'mores, blind date..

[Book Concierge]

I have only two left -
S'mores
Hot Tub

I'm reading a bunch of older books right now, and I have a couple of nonfiction ones in the pipeline so I doubt I'll find those words anytime soon ...

[Book Concierge]

Whoop Whoop Whoop ... found "hot tub"

So the only one I'm still missing is "S'mores" ...Anyone know any good books featuring Girl Scout camping trips?

[K~Terror]

That's awesome! I am still looking for s'mores too...

And caviar, blind date and watermelon...

[V_Nerdbooks]

Grr s'mores is going to be my eggs benedict this time I think.
incidently that came up in a book I read a couple of days ago, I nearly cried lol

[V_Nerdbooks]

P.s what the hell is a s'mores anyway??

[K~Terror]

LMAO!! No doubt! I about threw a party when I found "mustard"... Had no idea there was such a strong affinity to mayonnaise until trying to find me some mustard...

[K~Terror]

Omg! You haven't roasted marshmallows over an open fire just to squish that gooey goodness between two graham crackers and Hershey's chocolate???

[V_Nerdbooks]

Hmm no ......Grahams crackers??? we have crackers for cheese, don't fancy them with marshmallows though??

[K~Terror]

Yuck - no regular crackers for cheese! Graham crackers are sweeter crackers... Usually honey flavored... We make a lot of pies on graham cracker pie crust!

[V_Nerdbooks]

Gahh you guys have such cool foods!
that's it, I'm moving!

[K~Terror]

Where is reliable global commerce when you need it? lol

[♦Ashley♦]

I just made some s' mores yesterday. The summer is not complete without one; )

[V_Nerdbooks]

Okay I have to find these elusive crackers and squish some marshmallows in them and cover them in chocolate.
They sound like something we have here, can't think of the name though........I'll be back lol

[V_Nerdbooks]

Nope, I've just Googled s'mores and they look disgusting haha! I won't be making any of them, I will not be looking for crackers yeuch!

[K~Terror]

To have them is to love them!!

[V_Nerdbooks]

I'll let you keep s'mores and raise you.... Cadburys chocolate :•D
