Thank you, Kari.

My new definitions are:
#3 tense - 1) full of excitement 2) tightly stretched; taut
#10 tenure - the period of time during which an office is held; occupation
#16 termination - the ending

The definition for termination seems rather... lacking. Here's what I found on the internet - the action of bringing something to an end.

I'm trying to remember if I know of any main characters who are undertakers. I can think of some books where they have been mentioned, but none as a main character.

My words were...

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

I read The End Time a sci-fi book set in a world where people eat the meat of pinkies (which are humans without brains), and if you have enough money you can get a medical procedure that can tell you when, how and where you are going to die. The MCs meddle with the government after one of them gets the procedure, and a great chase ensues! I gave the book 3 stars.

#1 dismay - an uneasy feeling of alarm
#10 dispatch - 1) a message 2) promptness 3) to send off to a destination
#17 dispose - 1) to get rid of 2) to adjust; to settle

I wanted to read (book 1 of ) for a while now and was glad to finally find a reaseon why it has to be now - I started it yesterday and finished today. It's a nice enough cozy and I'm looking forward to read the next book in series sometimes but it's not that great I want to do it now :-)
As I suspected I was able to place all three words - my starting point was the blurb:
Twice divorced NY model, Lalla Bains, now runs her dad’s Crop-Dusting business in Modesto, California where she’s hoping to dodge the inevitable fortieth birthday party. But when her trophy red ‘58 Cadillac is found tail-fins up in a nearby lake, the police ask why a widowed piano teacher, who couldn’t possibly see beyond the hood ornament, was found strapped in the driver’s seat. That sounded to me pretty much like body disposal (#17) - and that wasn't the only one and only kind :-)
Lalla's best friend is the town's sheriff and as I expected dispatch (#10) was important to the story as well and Lalla's father was dismayed (#1) to learn his son is gay and of course the entire town was dismayed after they learned the identity of the perp :-)

I hope my idea is working for you as well, Lanelle - I decided to go with #7 irrelevant a book that's unrealistic and really irrelevant for my life and most most of our lives ;-) but so fun I decided to re-read it (as well as the other two books in series I already own) book 1 of the . I love Alex' kick-ass-attitude and how she realises she doesn't as much as she really thought.

I you think this doen't work I'd go for something non-fiction for #3 in the first sense - to enlighten - that's usually the reason most of the non-fiction are written at all :-)

Isle/Island is something I'm usually struggling to find each time I need it for a challenge and I want to spare those few I have when I need them more urgently *grins*.

I wanted to read something by Rachel Grant for at least a year now - I think it's time to do it now - I'll read either or the first one in the Evidence series - in both the female MC is an archeologist and she has either to find a treasure to prevent harm to a loved one or while on an excavation she's in harm's way - so both have to do with hidden treasures.
I got this author recommended several times as one of the better and very interesting writting romantic suspense - so let's see if I like her as much as I think :-)

I love it so much. It's a very difficult topic and written like a biography - great style, very dramatic and emotional and has very much potential for people dealing with really hard times. In the beginning I was rather secptical - very often I didn't like books with so much hype about - and was glad I love this one. Next year I'll read the other one of his book my library has - there're not that many Y-authors :-)

thanks Agnieszka
Maybe I'll add it back to my TBR pile and when I have time to delve into it I will. I may even own a copy that someone gave me. Will have to check.

[Jammin Jenny]

My words were...

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

I read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. In this story, a teenager with autism (perhaps aspberger's) finds a dog stabbed with a barbecue fork on his neighbor's lawn. He begins to meddle in the investigation because dogs are important to him, and someone shouldn't get away with murdering a dog. He goes to a special needs school where his teacher helps him learn some medical techniques for calming down if he gets anxious or scared. One night when he is at home eating his dinner, his dad gets mad and slams his fist on the table and his meat touches his veggies so he can't eat them anymore.

I really enjoyed this story and thought it gave great insight into the mind of an autistic person.

I would like all of these
my first thought for #3 molecule was Chemistry or scientist and there're some books in the area especially nano-technology - if you like Christian suspense Stealthy Steps book 1 of the Nanostealth series
#10: the Lincoln Rhyme series - Amelia Sachs' (female MC) favorite quote (of her father) is: If you're moving nobody get's you - or so similiar / my second thought war speed & racing
#22: there're so many author's using initials instead of first name or if you want to stick closer to monogram itself I think of historical fiction especially those including nobility - they love their monograms - especially for the dowry :-)

I hope you don't mind me pipping in *grins*

I read Hot Sauce and found a scene where #10 momentum is involved. The hero is run over by a car and he describes the accident: “I race into the street to get away and a taxi slams into me. I roll over the hood and shatter the windshield. The driver hits the brake, shifting the momentum, and I roll right off onto the concrete.”

I picked #12 glitter and read Dinner for One. Fleur and Bastien use a glitter gun when they work on an arts & crafts project. This entails “outlining the paper with swirls of glittering paint” and making a “mess of glitter and paint and bright construction paper and poster board”.

I went with humiliation. I read Cowboy Dreamin' by Sandy Sullivan, Allison Merritt, Stephanie Berget, Paty Jager, RaeAnne Hadley and D'Ann Lindun 10/10/17 4stars It's an anthology and each of the stories has some humiliation in it. I'll update this post as I finish reading each story.

GONE COUNTRY by Allison Merritt - Jake and how his bandmate died at his guesthouse; Willow when she was pregnant and single
TIED TO A DREAM by Stephanie Berget - Frannie is humiliated when right before she's to get married her fiance marries someone else who's rich and her daddy owns a big ranch - Guess Frannie couldn't compete!
