Deb, is doodling okay for doodle? If not, I'll delete it. I can also be on the lookout for the word doodle, but so far I've only found with -ing. Is -ing acceptable for any of the other words that could be turned into verbs? Thanks!

That is absolutely acceptable. :-) Unless specified, I like to be flexible by allowing variations of words.

Another example: Instead of the words "Video game", I'd take Pacman, Minecraft, Candy Crush, etc.

Hope this helps! I like to try and keep the 'hard ones' for the hard scavenger hunt. ;-)

"Tari wrote: "Is -ing acceptable for any of the othe..."Deb replied: That is absolutely acceptable. :-) Unless specified, I like to be flexible by allowing variations of words.... Oh thanks so much, yes it helps a lot! I kind of thought forms-of were usually ok, but each challenge is different and I just like being sure. I can probably knock off a few more words now that I'm sure on that detail. Can't remember which books I originally saw them in, should have asked then, but I get in a hurry lol. Thanks again!

•When you find one of the items, list the Book Title and Author (or link the cover), date it, & rate it. Then specify where the item is found within the book and a blurb from the sentence.

Most do copy and paste the list, but everyone has a different way of marking off 'found' items. You are most welcome to play around and see what option works best for you when it comes to tracking. :-)
