#7 of - 1) from 2) as a result of 3) belonging or related to, so I read Chasing the Omega. After Alice was bitten by a wolf, she decides to join a pack.

My next set of numbers are: 9 and 5, 20, 8

[JoAnne]

I read Texas Fierce (The Tylers of Texas) by Janet Dailey 9/17/17 4stars (Steve is a plumber)

next up

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Nancy85, your next words are:

#5 accommodation - 1) an adaptation; an adjustment made to assist someone 2) a room, group of rooms, or building in which someone may live or stay
#8 accomplish - to finish; to complete a task or reach a goal
#20 accuse - to say someone has committed an offense of crime

accommodation made me think of a main character owning a Bread and Breakfast place. If it was a cozy mystery, that would fit accuse as well.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

JoAnne, here's what I found on page 199:

#16 mayhem - commotion; disturbance
#22 meal - food served and eaten; the occasion for eating
#25 meaning - 1) the definition of a word 2) the significance of an action; signs or symbols

I had to chuckle when I saw your 3rd word. Anyway, if you can find a book with a food fight in it, you could take care of mayhem and meal :)

Meal is probably what I'll go with.

I picked #23 league - 2) sports teams organized to compete against each other and I read Shielding Lily on 9/18.

Ren gets drafted into the NFL (National Football League) and goes to play with the Minnesota Vikings.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

I decided to read Five Little Pigs for snout - the part of an animal's head projecting forward containing the nose and jaw. I thought it was the first time I'd read it, but it seemed familiar some how. Anyway, of course it was good. I love how Poirot tries to understand people and their motivations.

Agnieszka has already picked numbers from page 241 for me:
#9 pinch - 1) a very small amount 2) to squeeze between the finger and thumb 3) to make something feel tight
#16 pioneer - one of the first to explore an area or field of study; an innovator
#22 pistil - the part of a flower that produces seeds

I think I'll read one of the Pink Carnation series.

Happy Hour at Casa Dracula - Marta Acosta 9/18
(all the characters did in this book was snack, snack and snack some more. geez it made me so hungry)

How about page 222, definitions 3,9 and 14

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Barbara, your new words are:

#3 octopus - a sea creature that has eight long limbs
#9 odometer - a device in a vehicle used to measure distance traveled
#14 offend - to hurt someone's feelings; to insult

So I was curious to see if there were any octopus books out there, and I found this odd picture book by Jon Scieszka. I need to get myself of copy of it!

Octopi are oddly beautiful but I'm not sure I want to read a book about them. Hmmm I'll have to see what I can find.

[Jammin Jenny]

My words

#8 bakery - a place where pastries, cakes, and breads are made and sold
#11 bald - having no hair
#20 balm - 1) something that relieves pain 2) a soothing ointment

I read Sugar Cookie Murder. The MC owns a bakery where she makes excellent cookies and other sweet treats. She often uses chocolate which can sometimes serve as a balm when a murder happens...there weren't any bald people in this story...

Next words...

Page 200, words, 3, 7 and 11

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Jenny, your next words from page 200 are:

#3 meat - the parts of an animal's body used as food
#7 meddle - to interfere
#11 medical - healing; therapeutic

Do any of those definitions suggest a book to you? (I'm thinking of medical books.)

[Jammin Jenny]

I'm getting ready to read Lock In and it has a medical theme, and I'm sure there's meddling afoot because it's a sci-fi thriller, and maybe they'll eat some meat!

Lanelle wrote: "Two cool characters, Trea!

Your next words are:
#4 eligible - fitted or qualified to be chosen
#7 elocution - the art of public speaking or reading, especially with reference to the graces of intonation, gesture, etc.
#20 embarrass - 1) to confuse; disconcert; nonplus 2) to impede; complicate

For some reason, elocution made me think of George Bernard Shaw's play, Pygmalion, and the musical My Fair Lady. "Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait...""

It took me a while, but I found a book that fit embarrass. Cooking with Kandy had several instances of the characters being embarrassed in one way or another.

My Next Requests:
Step 1: 209
Step 2: 5, 20, 24

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Trea, here are you next words:

#5 monumental - massive; enormous; exceptionally great
#20 Mormon - a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, founded in the U.S. in 1830 by Joseph Smith
#24 morse code - a way of sending messages using flashing lights or a pattern of sounds

One of my favorite books is Wired Love: A Romance of Dots and Dashes by Ella Cheever Thayer. It was published in 1880, and the main character is a telegraph operator. It's the 19th century version of meeting someone 'online'.

That sounds so good, too bad it's not available in Germany :-)

BTW: I'm listening right now to = about two people leading an email relationship after Emmi misspeled an email address and landed in Leo's mail box. It's such an amazing book and it's the first time I really loved and enjoyed an audiobook.

Went with mayhem and meal. Lots of mysteries to solve along with a murder caused mayhem. Lots of get togethers and good meals on Ben and Nell's deck, at the yarn shop and at various restaurants throughout town.

I read Murder Wears Mittens (Seaside Knitters Society, #1) (Seaside Knitters Mystery, #12) by Sally Goldenbaum 9/21/17 4stars

#17 enough - 1) as much as needed; ample 2) to an adequate or sufficient degree 3) the required amount

Do any of those definitions make you think of a certain book?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

I finished my book for pistil - the part of a flower that produces seeds. I read The Seduction of the Crimson Rose. This series of books is a lot of fun. Each one has their own tale to tell. Some are serious, and others are lighthearted.

Could someone pick some numbers for me, please?

Sure! For Lanelle: page 119 - 2,11,25

Thanks, Kari. Here are my definitions:

#2 exclusive - restricted to a particular group of people
#11 exempt - excuse from an obligation or rule; to make immune
#25 existence - 1) state of being actual; life 2) reality 3) all that which lives

Off to look for a book where the main character belongs to some sort of exclusive club.

I read A Christmas Affair (Ransom Canyon) by Jodi Thomas 9/22/17 4stars
I went with Christian - Two of the churches, which implies they are Christian, donated their lights to decorate the gazebo for the lighting ceremony.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

JoAnne, your next words are:

#5 artillery - the mounted guns in an army; the soldiers in charge of such guns
#15 ashore - on to land
#22 asphalt - a tar like material mixed with sand or gravel for highway surfaces or pavement

I like all of those words. And they are very different from each other.

[[deleted user]]

I choose #5 accommodation - 1) an adaptation; an adjustment made to assist someone 2) a room, group of rooms, or building in which someone may live or stay, so I read Crown of Midnight where they lived in a castle.

My next numbers are 10 and 5, 15, and 19

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Nancy85, here's what I found on page 10:

#5 acquire - to get or to buy; to gain possession of
#15 action - 1) something done 2) the process of doing
#19 actual - real; existing in fact

actual made me think of a biography or autobiography.

I'll probably go with ashore and asphalt. Book I started is set on an island off the coast of CA so those will go best.

[Kari]

#6 engrave - 1) to cut into a surface 2) to leave an impression

#23 ensue - to make sure or certain; to follow up..."

I read . Gav is a serial killer, until Kat makes him realize he’s killed enough people and needs to stop. They fall in love and can’t get enough of each other. Engrave might also work according to the first definition since he “cuts into” the bodies of his victims.

[Kari]

Next words please:
page 321 - 3,7,18

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Kari, your next words are:

#3 tailor - one who cuts out and makes clothes
#7 tale - a story

#7 is just too easy :)

Here's what's next, JoAnne:

#6 forlorn - sad and unhappy; lonely

#24 forum - a public meeting place and market square

My dictionary didn't have another definition for formal. It is also an evening gown. I remember wearing a formal to my high school prom.

Actually, this was a very easy one. :) I went with "wrestle" and read , a book in the Jack Reacher series. As usual, there was lots of grappling and hand to hand. :)

[D.G.]

Next please: :)

page 157
#2, #7, #21

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

D.G., here are your next words:

#2 hungry - to desire something like food
#7 hurry - to move quickly; to hasten; to rush; to be quick
#21 hyena - a large, carnivorous wild dog that lives in Africa and Australia

I think my dictionary is wrong. I don't think there are any hyenas in Australia. Does anyone know differently?

[D.G.]

Yup, your dictionary is totally wrong. Hyenas are not "wild dogs". They are a completely different species!
