Barbara, your next words are:

#3 intimate - familiar; close; dear; private
#9 intoxicate - 1) to enliven; to excite; to elate 2) to feel drugged or drunk
#24 inure - to accustom; to harden by use or exposure

Those are some exciting words, Barbara!

[Katharine]

I am tempted to use often, it feels too easy and this is supposed to be a challenge; plus, odium and odorous are not really so difficult. Actually, I think I have a book that will fit all three: Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine. I feel great odium at the thought of burning books, as is a central theme in Caine’s book. The book is odorous because it is a hardbound book I have taken great care to preserve its new-book smell and the some of the descriptions are so well done, they evoke an odorous response in me. Finally, I’ve read the book once before and thoroughly enjoyed it and would like to read it again before reading the second book in the series; thus fitting often.

[JoAnne]

went with ohana - the new to me word!

#9 branch - 1) a part of a tree that extends from the trunk 2) an office that is located some distance from the headquarters 3) a stream or river that flows into a larger one 4) to move away or divide from the main body into branches
#19 break - 1) an opening made when something is torn or broken 2) a pause; a rest; a time away from school 3) to cause to fall apart 4) to violate; to disobey

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Meira, your next words are:

#10 split - 1) a tear or a break 2) to break lengthwise 3) to share
#11 spoil - 1) to damage or injure; to ruin 2) to become rotten or decayed 3) to overindulge or corrupt by coddling someone

Lanelle wrote: "#7 loving - affection or fondness
#15 lucid - 1) bright 2) easily understood; clear
#23 lull - 1) a quiet interval; a pause 2) to soothe; to calm..."

wow - interesting words
will let you know shortly

[Beth]

My words were crave, creep, and creak, and I think that Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer fits all three.

It's about a weird science fiction place with strange cravings, things that creep about, and creaky lighthouses. Very spooky in a tropical kind of way.

#3 igneous - produced by fire; volcanic
#5 ignoble - unworthy; of low character
# 22 illustrate - 1) to explain by examples or verbal images 2) to provide with pictures or designs; to show

I picked #18 cinnamon and read . The hero, Hugh, makes his wealth in the spice trade; he uses spices as currency and stores them in chests. The most valuable ones include cinnamon, ginger, cloves, pepper and saffron. I also found #10 chunk, as Hugh’s wife collects chunks of stones and crystals.

Here are your words from page 300:

#4 soap - a substance used for cleaning, manufactured as bars, flakes or liquid, mixed with water
#15 sock - 1) a short stocking made of soft material to cover the foot 2) to punch
#25 soil - 1) the earth where plants and organisms grow; the top layer of the earth 2) to make something dirty

Final clue... page 337, definitions 2,7 and 20

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Barbara, your final clues from page 337 are:

#2 truck - a large, heavy vehicle with a least four wheels used to transport heavy materials or large quantities
#7 trumpet - a horn; one of the brass instruments, with several keys valves and a flaring bell
#20 tuck - 1) a pleat, fold or gather 2) to wrap snugly

I am a musician. I play several instruments and have sung in many choirs over the years. I had to change the definition for trumpet. My dictionary's version said a trumpet has several keys. Umm, no. Trumpets have valves.

Also, there is another definition for trumpet - to proclaim widely or loudly. (Which brass trumpets do quite well :)

My husband is a trombonist and plays for local bands. A few years ago, he came home from a music store very excited. The music store had a display of the new pBone. He has since bought one for himself and our grandson. Plastic is much lighter than brass!

It's interesting how some books are just as good the fourth time you read as the first time, and other books just aren't good re-reads.

Katherine, your next words are:

#1 measure - 1) a standard or test 2) dimension, size or capacity 3) step, action, proceeding, maneuver 4) to take measurements; to gauge; to scale; to calibrate
#4 mechanic - one who repairs cars or other machines

I like all of those words. Is there one that stands out to you?
