I will accept that because it is basically the same thing, although not the game exactly.

Hi Paris, will "Chopper" work for Helicopter?
Found "Tomorrow, if the weather clears, we'll put up a chopper....."

As long as she is hooking up with each guy only once it would.

QUESTION - Bonus Item # 9 Mason Jar

The characters are canning vegetables from the garden. There is mention of "jars" but not specifically "Mason" jars.

Would this count?

[Paris]

Yeah BC I'll take that. Not likely they'd be using other kinds of jars really.

[Yusra]

I have a question for you all..

Do you memorize the list or read it everyday.. I mean how do you know you don't pass by an item on the list while reading without noticing??

[♦Ashley♦]

I usually skim over the list each time I sit down to read. I don't doubt that I've missed some along the way tho.

[VNerdbooks]

Haha DR they become imprinted on your eyeballs after a while.

The worst is when you jump up because you've spotted one, and you're all excited, and then realise it was one that you didn't get in the last challenge, and that finished about a week ago lol.

[♦Ashley♦]

Hahaha V!! Guess what I just came across today?? Eggs Benedict ...thought of u ;)

[Paris]

I will also do a search in the book after i read it if it's a Kindle book. If it was a physical book i try searching using the look inside option on Amazon.

[VNerdbooks]

Noooooooo !!! lol

[Cait S]

When it's the full list I leave it open in front of me while I read. Sometimes I will see a word and be like "was that on there or...?" So that helps. But at this point I have my final six words memorized to the point of getting a momentary jolt of excitement when I see them OTHER places lol

[♦Ashley♦]

When it gets toward the final words I have them memorized to the point that I will be watching a tv show or movie and a word/picture will come up and I will get all excited until I realize tv/movies don't count lol!

[Book Concierge]

Ashley wrote: "When it gets toward the final words I have them memorized to the point that I will be watching a tv show or movie and a word/picture will come up and I will get all excited until I realize tv/movie..."

YES! And I listen to audiobooks, so sometimes I'll hear a word and then I'm looking for a place to pull over so I can jot it down ...LOL

[Marla]

Cait and Ashley, I definitely do this too.

And V Audio Nerd, I don't mix them up because, by the end of the challenge, I am so sick of the words that I couldn't find in the last scavenger hunt. And of course, you find one when you don't need it anymore.

[VNerdbooks]

Haha I have all of my audio books on my phone, so I also have a post-it note app, and let me tell you that is FULL lol.

[♦Ashley♦]

Would a yellow jacket work for Bee?

[Paris]

Sharon, those will all work for magic spell.

Ashley, yellow jacket would work for bee.

[Marla]

I still have not seen a tire swing from a challenge from last year, but I did just find a hot tub that I needed before...we never let it go...

The bad thing about the tire swing is we have 2 in our neighborhood and they would mock me when I drove by them everyday. :D

[Paris]

hahaha I love it Marla. I have the same issues with words from past challenges. I've done all of them so far (I think) and last round was the first one I ever finished. There are a lot of items out there that mock me. I think the worst is from the first round and it's Capuchin monkey. Jennifer was not playing around when she picked that one. lol

[♦Ashley♦]

lol!! good to know I'm not the only one that can't seem to find them all; )

[Marla]

I'm thrilled if I find enough with the Bonus points to equal the original list. I doubt I will ever finish the whole list within the time frame. And yet, I still play...glutton for punishment.

[♦Ashley♦]

Could I use manacles for handcuffs?

[Paris]

Ashley wrote: "Could I use manacles for handcuffs?"

Sure that'll work.

[♦Ashley♦]

thanks:)

[❀Tea❀]

Will this work for Mason jar? That's only one I'm missing and this is closest I got to it :P

...wall of shelves filled with gleaming jars, all carefully labeled. Strawberry preserves, grape jam, peaches, green beans, stewed tomatoes.

[Paris]

[Paris]

Holy cow. Congrats Tea. I really need to start paying better attention. I found mason jar last night and got really excited.

[♦Ashley♦]

Wondering if a character that is a con artist, but the book never calls him a "con artist" would work? He is referred to as an artist.
For The Lies of Locke Lamora

[Paris]

Ashley wrote: "Wondering if a character that is a con artist, but the book never calls him a "con artist" would work? He is referred to as an artist.

As long as his art is the art of the con, then that works for me.

[♦Ashley♦]

ok awesome!! thanks:)
He was definitely a con artist.
