Way to go Jennifer!!BC, so close. I hate those ones where you swear the next thing you'll see is one of the words you need and then they skirt around it or it's not the right season. Good luck getting that last one.

I found another one that might work better. Would this work? "prestige ocean-view property"
Yeah I'll take ocean-view property. Odds are it's pretty dang close to the beach, unless there are no trees or other buildings nearby, then it could be miles from the beach, but that's not likely.

I found a skipping stone! ... Of course it's in a 600+ page book and I have about 500 pages to go before I finish ...
BC, I would feel bad for you but I have a sneaking suspicion that I know whose idea it was to put "concierge" on the list and that is the ONLY word I have left...and it's been that way for a month. :P

Would this work for skipping stone?"The stone ripple around it like he'd just dropped a pebble in a pond."

Since we're getting close to the end, if that's all you can find, I'll take it, but I'm looking for more than a ripple in the pond. So if you find something better in the next 26 days, then cool.
NOTE!!!We are getting close to the end of this round of the scavenger hunt. If there are any items you'd like to see on the next round please PM me with those items. I'm always looking for fun and interesting things to search for.
I'm finished! 50/50 in my first ever scavenger hunt, I'm so excited haha This was a blast, I cannot wait for the next round!Post 13

Yeah that works Ashley.
Arg! I'm stumped on an Emerald - the only thing left to find and I'm not sure any of my books will have it!

UPDATE Message # 3 - Challenge Completed - sort of - 31Dec14I have actually found ALL of them, but haven't finished the final book yet (word # 10 - skipping stone) - and won't finish it until next month. (It's a big book and "heavy" in tone, so I keep putting it aside for faster, easier reads during the holidays.)

I've found everything EXCEPT the skipping stone.
But I have about 6 weeks left to look for that ...
Thought I had it today when I was reading about a kid searching for a stone as he sat by a stream. But it was winter and the water was covered by ice, so clearly this wouldn't be a "skipping stone" ... and he didn't find it beneath the snow anyway ....
