Completed 89/100

[Colleen]

Just 28 left! I will look for some words In if I stay tommorrow. I think these last couple words will be hard.

[elle]

yeah, I've found some of them but decided to put other ones, so if we can't find them at all, I can replace the ones I already put

the ones I haven't seen are green and red clothing!

[Colleen]

Yes! I also can't find the clover/shamrock one.

[Colleen]

Can you take off the line from daughter of smoke and bone for jeans. I just realized that I didn't count because I didn't finish the book. I found I found the word again in if I stay which I will post later.

[elle]

alright :) you didn't like it?

[Colleen]

No I really didn't like it. Have you read it?

[elle]

I have it on my TBR, but I wanted to get the other 2 books first so I can marathon them. Was it hard to get into? I heard that's what most people say ://

[elle]

I was thinking that maybe "red clothes" and "green clothes" could work, it's the same and the "-ing", "-ed", plurals, etc. could change

[elle]

weed pg. 10 “The big beach had softer sand and less seaweed”

liberty pg. 16 “Liberty and Bonnie told me Gat had pictures of her on his phone.”

crayon pg. 31 “I didn’t write back, but I drew Gat silly crayon drawings of the two of us.

soup pg. 39 “Of course, I feel no sense of my own mystery eating a can of chicken soup late at night, or…”

ballet pg. 68 “He’s been going around with New York City girls in ballet flats, taking them to Chinese food and out to see bands.”

hunt pg. 21 “When I lay down next to him, our arms touched, mine bare and his in an olive-green hunting jacket.”

[elle]

only 19 left :)

[Colleen]

Sorry took me a while to answer.
It don't think it was to hard to get into. I don't really like angel books so I think that contributes a part in why I didn't finish. Also I just found it kinda boring and I wasn't caring about the characters or anything.

[Colleen]

We are so close! Here is jeans:

jeans: pg. 183 " it wasn't like one day he stripped off the tight black jeans and band tees in exchange for suits."

[Colleen]

Do you know a book that has a camel?

[Colleen]

Also I found jeans in if I stay.

[elle]

Oh I get it :/ I kinda like angels, so maybe I will like it! I hope so!

Okay, which book are you reading next?

I don't remember if I saw camel in any of the books I read.. Maybe in The Bane Chronicles? A lot of things happened there XD

[Colleen]

I started reading code name verity today so I will look for words in there but I don't think to many of those words will be in there but who knows. Do you think city of bones has it?

[elle]

City of Bones with a camel? I don't think so :(

[Colleen]

Lol I didn't think of that :P that would be interesting though.

[elle]

Haha like the llamas in TBC

[Colleen]

Lol. For the green/red clothing does it have to be the actual word clothing or can it be like green shirt or red pants?

[elle]

I'm going to change 2 words of ToG :) That way I can have 10 for We Were Liars and 10 for The Great Gatsby

[elle]

I don't think so :/ maybe we should ask, because it is really difficult

[Colleen]

Ok :) what words are you changing? also I started reading the giver.

[elle]

Now we got hot cocoa and fountain :)

[Colleen]

Here is the only word I found in
Parachute: pg 52 "and I'll get a special little parachute that just fits you,..."

[elle]

16 more! :)
Popsicle could be a trouble, too :/ haven't seen it

[Colleen]

Here are 3 more words i found in

Pancakes: pg. 5 " Who wants pancakes?"

Sleet: pg. 12 " Neither sleet not rain nor a half inch of snow will compel me to dress like a lumberjack."

University: pg.22 "But some old literature professor from the university had died and bequeathed his hamburg to our school."

[Colleen]

Did you find any other words in we were liars?

[Colleen]

Rache wrote: "16 more! :)

I haven't seen that one either. Or camel or clover :P

[elle]

I already got the 10 in We Were Liars :P
I found clover in Looking for Alaska, but I'm not reading that yet

[Colleen]

Lol it's pretty late here :P
If I can find three more words in either the giver,if I stay,or wonder we will only have 10 words left. We are so close!!!

[elle]

It's 1 am here, and I should go to sleep xD
I know! But things are getting harder

[Colleen]

Here are 2 words i found in.

1) reunion: pg. 2 "We haven't had a family reunion in almost ten years."

2) air conditioning: pg. 32 "I'm sorry my car doesn't have air-conditioning."

[Colleen]

Rache wrote: "It's 1 am here, and I should go to sleep xD

Yup. I still haven't seen the word decorations :P

[elle]

I saw that one somewhere :/
I'm reading and the only word it has is air conditioner :(

[Colleen]

Do you like John green?

[elle]

I've only read The Fault In Our Stars and yeah, I liked it :P you?

[Colleen]

I have only read the fault in our stars and I thought that it was okay. I don't plan on reading anymore of his books though...I have been spoiled for looking for Alaska and it just put me off.

[elle]

ugh spoilers :(( And why not his other books?
I do want to read the other ones but I was planning to read them way later, but Paper Towns is becoming a movie, so I want to read it before I go and see it
