WORD GENERATOR SCAVENGER HUNT

A scavenger hunt is a game in which the organizers prepare a list defining specific items, which the participants seek to gather all items on the list.

But instead of me making a list we'll make it more interesting and use a word generator!
Go to one of the websites listed and generate a list of minimum 6 words. Then read books and try to find those words in your book. When you do, please post the TITLE, PAGE and SENTENCE.

Duration: 1 month / set
Books to read: At least 2 (max. 5 items per book)

Random Word Generator 1
Random Word Generator 2

*** Q&A ***

Q: Is there a maximum of words?
No, you can do as many as you want. If you're up for finding 100 words in a month then go for it!

Q: Do we have to find the exact word?
Preferably yes, but it can be hard sometimes. You have to decide it for yourself.
Plurals are always accepted (ie. book / books).

*** EXAMPLE ***

I used Random Word Generator 1 and got these 6 words: talk, dozens, fist, flamethrower, almighty, diversion.

I read A Thousand Pieces of You and found:
talk - page 32
"He’s like some kind of caveman from back before people could even talk."
dozens - page 110
"We are alone in a room that stretches for dozens of feet (...)"
fist - page 150
"(...) it’s all I can do not to clutch it in my fist."

also
Say You're One of Them by Uwem Akpan
diversion - page 129
"Confused, Jubril shifted his attention to the safer diversion of woman-watching."

and so on, until I've found all of them.
