(12/9/19)

2. Attack - In the sixteenth century, the librarian Girolamo Sirleto would place Valla's attack on the Donation of Constantine on the list of prohibited books he drew up for the Holy Office; such works as the histories of Zosimus - "the pagan who had had the bad taste to blame the fall of Rome on Christianity," in Anthony Grafton's arch description - he hid, according to a frustrated French reader, in the "deepest and most obscure part of the Vatican library." (p 115)
3. Beauty - And what the Word means to society - whether it is the breath of God or the Muses, the domicile of beauty and the good, the howling winds of commerce, or some ambiguous amalgam of all these things - this is what the library enshrines. (p 17)
4. Breed - Increasingly, it was in a new breed of pamphlets and journals that the most important intellectual disputes took place. (p 142)
5. Calm - "There is something imposing and almost sublime," he opines, "in the calm and steady dignity with which the ponderous engines continue their ceaseless toil." (p 182)
6. Care - The first Umayyad caliph, Muawiyah I, appointed a sahib al-masahif, or curator of books, to care for his royal library, into which went not only sacred writings but works in the liberal arts and sciences; it became a flourishing universal library along Alexandrian lines. (p 89)
10. Entertain - A single issue might entertain such questions as "What sort of Government is best?"; "Why can an Owl see better by night than by Day?"; and "If it be lawful for a Man having buried his Wife, to marry her own Sister, the first leaving issue behind her?" (p 143)
11. Faithful - The Buddhists, whose body of teachings emerged in the first century A.D., late in the Han dynasty, realized that carved texts allowed rubbings to be made, providing ready copies for the faithful. (p 61)
12. Fight - According to the Egyptian classicist Mostafa el-Abbadi, al-Quifte may have invented the story to justify the sale of books by the twelfth-century Sunni ruler Saladin, who sold off whole libraries to pay for his fight against the Crusaders. (p 35)
13. Food - It's a depository for seeds, for the preservation of genetic diversity in food crops. (p 311)
15. Gentle - Wotton's later mentor was not of gentle birth; but like Cicero, Bentley had risen from affluent but common origins to the summit of the English intellectual world. (p 132)
17. Hide - Among Widener's dusty stacks are tunnes; one leads to the government document depository, in which I have read Indian censuses recording how many houses are made of mud and grass, or how many basket weavers and hide tanners reside in each village in Uttar Pradesh or Kashmir. (p 10)
18. Hiss - I run my finger along them, making a dry rhythmic hiss against the grain of stiff fabric. (p 298)
20. Independent - The notion that words, like plants and stones, have existences independent of our uttering them - that they have power and do things in the world - is a commonplace in many traditions. (p 18)
23. Kind - To remove one scroll, a reader or library assistant would have to had to shift all the others on the shelf; as a result, only a kind of generalized order would have been possible to maintain. (p 43)
44. Unwanted - But Sirleto was not content merely to secrete away unwanted books; he burned them, too, putting the torch to a set of Byzantine texts denouncing the Roman church. (p 115)
50. Yard - When a schoolgirl drops in looking for information about the origin of the yard measure, however, more pedagogical pressure should be applied, though lightly; only point the way to the likeliest sources, wait for the young reader to go astray, and then set her right. (p 214)

(12/14/19)

1. Affection- Bananas are regarded with affection, she says, because they are relatively affordable and always there in the shops, even in winter. (p 81)
7. Chase - In 2018, at the age of ninety-five, the great African-American chef Leah Chase, from New Orleans, expressed her consternation at seeing a sign in a building advertising VEGAN SOUL FOOD. (p 198)
16. Hair + 30. Outside - In recent years, epidemiologists have started searching for traces of our diets in blood serum, hair samples and even toenail clippings (toes are less exposed to outside environmental contamination). (p 44)
19. Hunt - The calories hunt uns down even when we are not looking for them. (p 15)
22. Jump - The city leaders aim for all Amsterdam schools to be healthy, but 120 of them have registered to be special "jump-in" schools that place an extra emphasis on health, from physical activity to eating. (p 461)
26. Loving - If Korea was helped by its vegetable-loving food culture, it also benefited from a range of government initiatives which consciously set out to soften the blow of the nutrition transition. (p 98)
28. Nine - By 2015, that figure had dropped to one in nine - even though the overall population had risen astronomically during the same period. (p 32)
31. Quick - Across the board, across all social classes, most of us eat and drink more than our grandparents did, whether we are cooking a leisurely dinner at home from fresh ingredients or grabbing a quick takeaway from a fast food chain. (p 19)
32. Rescue - The same food that has rescued us from hunger is also killing us. (p 36)
33. Reward - We don't expect to pay much for our meals and we therefore offer the people who work to produce them scant reward. (p 180)
34. Rub - If you are in Spain, perhaps you take a piece of bread, toast it, rub it with pungent garlic and salt, pour over good olive oil and pulped tomatoes and relish a five-minute feast of pan con tomate. (p 238)
35. Scratch + 47. Water - Across the world, a new movement of keen hobby cooks are starting to teach themselves the skills of baking sourdough loaves from scratch and there has been a modest revival of artisanal bakeries selling slow-risen bread, made from nothing but flour, water, salt, leavening, heat and a baker's touch. (p 172)
37. Stroke - A series of systematic reviews of the evidence by some of the world's top nutrition scientiests - the kind who are not funded by the sugary drink or bacon industries - have sifted through all the data and found robust causal evidence that regular portions of certain foods do significantly lower a person's risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke. (p 27)
39. Tail - "My mother would have a heart attack if she saw you trimming beans like that!" hissed cookery teacher Nikita Gulhane one April afternoon when he asked me to top and tail some green beans to add to a potato and coconut curry. (p 232)
43. Treats - When most children in the 1980s switched on the TV, they would be greeted by adverts for sweets and treats, fizzy drinks and cereals. (p 99)
46. Wash - Pick a bunch of green grapes, wash it, and put one in your mouth. (p 9)
49. Wild - IN our hunter-gatherer past, if oyu wanted a taste of something sweeter than fruit, you called a group of brave comrades together and went on a long, perilous expedition, scrambling up rocks, hunting in crevices for wild sticky honey. (p 15)

(12/18/19)

42. Toys - From a young age, yellow is associated with sunshine and children's toys and consequently we have to come to equate this color with cheerfulness. (p 184)

(12/22/19)

21. Jaw - Tom Emmott, "a big burly man of middle age with a shifty eye and a truculent jaw," was a bit of a blackguard in Colonel Melchett's opinion. (p 28)
45. Veterinarian (Vet will work) - St. Mary Mead also had a builder named Cargill who "bluffed a lot of people into having things done to their houses they never meant to do"; an automobile mechanic named Jenkins who was none too honest over batteries; and a vet, Mr Quinton, whose peccadilloes, if any, have gone unrecorded. (p 26)

(12/27/19)

24. Kitten - "A kitten. (loc 1946)
48. Whiskers - Small mice with long tails and twitching whiskers were off limits - expecially if they brought their relatives inside. (p 895)

(12/29/19)

8. Claws - Hannah ran her fingers over the gouges from the dog's claws. (loc 1639)

(12/31/19)

9. Coat - "Yet an immense field is floating about between the Maledives and Ceylon [Sri Lanka], seemingly like the Sargasso Sea is in the Atlantic, only in the one case weeds and in the other pumice, for miles and miles the sea is covered with a thick coat of pumice, on top of which are numerous crabs and beneath are very many strange fish making it a home and shelter." (p 314)
14. Fur - At that time, Ranald MacDonald was a boy of ten, the son of a Clatsop princess and a Hudson's Bay fur trader, at Astoria on the other side of the Columbia River. (p 264)
27. Mate - I found four "Creap caps" - lids from Japan's answer to Coffee Mate, its name a conflation of the English words "creamy powder" - uncountable plastic fishing floats and octopus traps, and thirty toy wheels, which, I must confess, I enjoy collecting. (p 367)
36. Stray - The times and the neighborhood were rough; a stray bullet form the street once passed within a foot of Dad's crib. (p 192)

40. Tame
25. Lick
29. Odor

DECEMBER 2019 - SCAVENGER HUNT
CATS
·Post 24 *FINISHED*

47/50
AFFECTION - #3 (loc 1421, 61%)
I moved in for a kiss before I remembered affection was off the table. Dominic was already in motion and nearly fell over when I moved my head to avoid his lip-lock.
ATTACK - #1 (loc 2398, 72%)
The other giant was under attack from a handful of death dealers and a familiar shape she'd know anywhere: Darkyn.
BEAUTY - #5 (451, 36%)
I wave my arms wide and give him a moment to take in the beauty that is my pink minivan.
BREED - #1 (loc 1379, 42%)
"First one there gets the Toughest Demon Award," Rhyn said and pushed the smaller Dark One out of his way. "No half-breed can take what belongs to me," Darkyn snapped. Never should've mentioned the Toughest Demon Award.
CALM - #4 (loc 705, 55%)
Nick meanwhile is as calm as a priest at midnight mass.
CARE - #1 (loc 195, 6%)
"She'll be a delicious chicken cupcake." "Chicken and cupcakes do not go together!" she snapped. "What do we care? We drink blood." "We're not going to eat her!"
CHASE - #2 (loc 1163, 45%)
My chest heaving with the desire to give chase, I force myself to stay in place, and I grasp Christopher's shoulders.
CLAWS - #1 (loc 2260, 68%)
"Cute claws," Rhyn said, assessing her. "Can you use them?" "She did." Darkyn nodded his head to the side to indicate the dead. "Great fucking work, mini-demon," Rhyn exclaimed.
COAT - #3 (loc 910, 39%)
"Please tell me all potions don't taste like tar-coated turds." Dominic swallowed audibly. "Unfortunately, most do." "Great. This witch stuff is really fun."
ENTERTAIN - #1 (loc 869, 26%)
"Any reason why you refer to yourself in the third person?" "Bored. Karma started it to entertain her and then forgot how not to talk about Karma like that."
FAITHFUL
FIGHT - #1 (loc 2095, 63%)
"You picked a fight with Peace?" Gabriel demanded. "I'm sure I had a reason." She shrugged.
FOOD - #2 (loc 605, 23%)
Chopping food with a knife like a normal person is old hat. Being able to do it with your tail? Of course that's more fun.
FUR - #7 (loc 2497, 95%)
"Nothing would bring me more pleasure than making fun of those god-awful fur hats on your heads, but I sense the panic in you, and this mountain air has given me…feelings.
GENTLE - #7 (loc 1324, 50%)
Millie went out with a group of people after dinner to check out the boutique, now that the road was clear and the snow had slowed to just a few gentle flurries.
HAIR - #3 (loc 364, 16%)
"How old are you two? I swear, Dominic, if I catch you pulling her hair I'm going to smack you both."
HIDE - #1 (loc 2137, 65%)
"Eh. Karma can hide herself. I reflects emotions and sometimes the faces of others." "Like a chameleon." "Maybe. How many legs does it have?"
HISS - #2 (loc 1557, 61%)
Mitteeku rears up in reaction-and his horns catch in the chandelier. "This rotation is teveking cursed," he hisses-and I can't help it. I laugh.
HUNT - #7 (loc 2292, 87%)
I had no idea Joy would actually hunt down the recipe and make them for me.
INDEPENDENT - #1 (loc 2515, 76%)
She was far too independent and obstinate enough to prove whatever point she felt needed proven, at any cost.
JAW - #2 (loc 258, 10%)
He's standing pretty much like I am: his eyes are round, his jaw is half slack-he's basically ogling our stranger in awe.
JUMP - #2 (loc 452, 17%)
With a suddenness that stuns me, he stands and shows his teeth-make that his FANGS-and I jump.
KIND - #1 (loc 1071, 32%)
"What is a funnel cake?" Past-Death debated for a moment, uncertain what it was. "It's a vegetable," she decided. "Not sure what kind of tree it grows on."
KITTEN - #4 (loc 704, 55%)
As if I'm attempting to climb him with the same curiosity and enthusiasm as a kitten climbing a Christmas tree.
LICK - #1 (loc 1522, 46%)
Her hand was covered in his blood. She stared at it, resisting the need to lick it clean. She wiped it on her dress instead and rose.
LOVING - #4 (loc 245, 19%)
He's loving every moment of this. But also… Son of a nutcracker, how did he know that?
MATE - #1 (loc 50, 1%)
And…he had begun to think that the ruler of Hell had a soft spot for the mate he claimed.
NINE - #2 (loc 1946, 76%)
But I don't do the whole nine hours of cooking and two days of clean up afterwards.
ODOR - #3 (loc 410, 18%)
My nostrils filled with an acrid odor. The air around us pulsed with energy, pressing in.
OUTSIDE - #2 (loc 1618, 63%)
"All righty! One risky trip outside coming up." So that's how I end up smuggling an alien into my car.
QUICK - #1 (loc 2571, 78%)
"You get one shot at this," he said calmly. "A quick death followed by mercy. Or-" The death dealer drew his weapon and charged with a shout. "-we can do it this way."
RESCUE - #5 (loc 694, 55%)
"And the folks at the Reindeer Falls Animal Rescue have sent over a few volunteers to join our judging panel today!" It turns out the dogs will be judging us.
REWARD - #4 (loc 364, 28%)
"Don't you think an Advent calendar for the countdown to banging your boss is kind of sacrilegious?" "It's not a countdown to banging. It's a reward calendar. For doing my job well despite the hardship of dealing with Nick."
RUB - #5 (loc 456, 36%)
Think about the spirit of the season and how lovely it would be to rub up against Keller in front of a fireplace when he's naked and I'm naked and yeah, okay, I'm not doing a great job thinking virtuous thoughts.
SCRATCH - #1 (loc 2771, 84%)
Harmony was glaring at her from across the hallway, arms folded. The scratch marks on her cheek made past-Death wonder if she'd had a run in with a certain demoness.
STRAY - #6 (loc 182, 17%)
Jillian left some boob tape to ensure it stays put. Body tape. I'm sure it's called body tape. I think? Still, I laugh 'cause we all know the only thing you use body tape for is to ensure a low-cut top doesn't stray where it shouldn't.
STROKE - #1 (loc 480, 14%)
Gabriel severed his head with one stroke of his massive sword and sheathed the weapon before kneeling beside the body.
SWAT - #2 (loc 1233, 48%)
But there are no sirens, no SWAT team swarming the area, no military helicopters and news vans lined up.
TAIL - #2 (loc 253, 10%)
Deftly bringing his tail into his lap like it's the most natural thing when one sits down. I suppose if you have a tail, it would be.
TAME - #6 (loc 435, 41%)
"I suppose holiday sheets are tame, all things considered," he agrees, taking another look around my room.
TEASE - #3 (360, 15%)
"I'm beginning to think your magic is the strongest when you're pissed off," Dominic teased. "But let's not test that theory."
TOYS - #1 (loc 1748, 53%)
Past-Death replaced the axe at her waist and drew the sword, intent on trying out all her new toys.
TREATS - #5 (loc 707, 56%)
But I have been donating homemade dog treats to the shelter for well over a year. If I'd gone home during this round it'd have been pretty humiliating.
UNWANTED
VET[ERINARIAN] - #7 (loc 1679, 64%)
"Mountain man Jason, might you also be the town vet, as well as a widower who is raising his daughter all alone?"
WASH - #2 (loc 1967, 76%)
I watch him wash his claws, and then I watch him in bemusement as he uses his claws to slice the netting that covers the meat.
WATER - #1 (loc 1414, 43%)
"Karma thought only water nymphs had pink hair," Karma said, studying her pink-dyed hair. "Someday, someone is showing me what a water nymph is."
WHISKERS
WILD - #2 (loc 2249, 88%)
Online shopping for gifts turned out to be Mitteeku's very own Christmas present. He went wild.
YARD - #3 (loc 1117, 48%)
"Let's head to the beach," Dominic said as we ran across the yard. "What about the bubble bath?"

Carryovers
9/18
Military
COMBAT - #2 (loc 2105, 82%)
"Once you reach an age fit for mastering your weapons, you are trained to command them in combat."
ENLIST
TROOPS - #7 (loc 1383, 52%)
I look away from him for a few seconds to check out what's happening on the screen, smiling when I see Bing Crosby singing to the troops.
Oktoberfest
DISTRICT - #3 (loc 1510, 65%)
As my parents had discovered it was easier to leave me to the care of a nanny than fight with the school district over excessive absences.
FAIRGROUND
MALT
STEIN
YEAST
Attic Treasures
COMIC [BOOK] - #2 (loc 1637, 63%)
"I don't mean to startle you. Are you familiar with the costumes of superhero and comic conventions? They are called 'Cons.'"
FUTON COT - #2 (loc 375, 15%)
"Mom. You don't smoke." "Yeah, but I'll have to trade my cellmate something so she doesn't shank me and steal the good cot. Prison rules, you know?" "Nope. Don't know." I shrug. "Me either. I'd say we need to watch more TV, but today," I gesture to the alien in our living room, "it feels like we have entertainment covered."
Burger Choices
ANCHOVIES
CHEDDAR - #2 (loc 1550, 60%)
I snap. Not my voice-just my ability to let our alien go on believing that anything to do with cheddar chips is necessary to a teenager's survival.
GUACAMOLE - #7 (loc 1244, 47%)
"Is that guacamole?" "I thought it was, but it tastes more like oatmeal she dyed green to be festive, with raisins, brown sugar, tomatoes, and onions," he says, gagging a little when he lists the ingredients.
SWISS
TARTAR SAUCE
Cooking
AL DENTE
PARE - #7 (594, 22%)
"Do you know if the bed and breakfast has a tea sommelier on hand? I'm going to need a good paring with my nighttime Xanax after the day I've had," Millie sighs.
Music
ALTO SOPRANO - #7 (loc 566, 21%)
"Did you give me a pot chocolate?" I screech. "No," Millie reassures me. "But also yes. Look how happy it made you! We should sing again. But let me take the lead-my soprano is better." "Oh my God, Millie!" "You're right. You should probably just hum."
