David wrote: "I've got a book for next week also that has a bunch of tags but those last scavenger words bowtie, opal and partridge are going to be tough."They are! I might read a classic English detective story for bowtie, a treasure hunt for opal, and a cozy mystery for partridge. Who knows where these words hide haha!
