=============================================================
Unless a variation is specified above, words must match exactly, with the following exceptions: I will accept a plural/singular version, or differences in spelling between British and American English (e.g. honor or honour). But those are the ONLY deviations allowed. So, if you are looking for "vivid" - I will NOT allow "vividly."
All books used must be a minimum of 100 pages long - Page length determined by HARDCOVER 1st edition. If there is no Hardcover, then the most popular paperback governs page #.
You may read in any format - text, audio or e-book. If using audio or e-book I suggest using Amazon’s "look inside" feature to get a page number for your quote.
You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for finding the word/phrase.
EXAMPLE of a successful post:
recognize - The Borrower ✔ – 22Dec21 - pg 45 – “…adopt me, to recognize me as…”
Have Fun!
