(11/3/17)
9. Delicious - For in the first few minutes of their meeting Nell had taken in his eyes, which were a really dark, almost navy blue, sparking with surprise when she had entered the room to catch him messing about with the family photographs, and then dancing enticingly at her, in a way that even now made her shiver with a delicious kind of dread. (loc 1014)
11. Family - "Because she's family, whether you like it or not," Patrick replied, causing Nell's stomach to knot even more unpleasantly. (loc 318)
14. Football - It was Sunday morning and the Blues and Twos five-a-side indoor football team had just come out of the showers ready for the first pint of the day down at the Slug and Lettuce, their local. (loc 1143)
16. Friends - "I end up sitting there, shaking like a jelly, unable to write a thing, knowing she's watching my every move, waiting for me to fail so that she can tell all her friends at the Writer's Circle what a thicko Nell Flanagan has got for a daughter." (loc 269)
17. Gathering - The English teacher gave her a curt nod of her iron grey frizzled hair, and gathering up an ancient black leather briefcase, that looked like a doctor's bag, stalked out of the classroom. (loc 210)
18. Grateful - "Thanks," Rob squeaked, shrinking back, his mouth fixed in a petrified grin that was supposed to be a grateful smile. (loc 536)
19. Happy - "Although, I'm not happy about spending the evening with Stacey whilst you go out on the town." (loc 229)
25. Memories - "My best memories are lying on my stomach in front of the TV with my dad in the armchair behind me, both of us guessing whodunit." (loc 4109)
27. Orchard - It was an odd place, which for hundreds of years must have remained little more than a rustic hamlet, until someone decided that the view from the top of the hill over the orchard laden landscape, was to die for, making the property developers move in to build in quick succession, many of the now classic chalet style houses of the late sixties, which made up the bulk of the village. (loc 2062)
29. Past - "I couldn't get past the first line." (loc 249)
32. Quilt - Patrick Flanagan's car when they reached it was parked in a lay-by on top of a remote hill, overlooking a patchwork quilt of North Cotswold countryside. (loc 1430)
42. Stuffed - It was the last day of term before the summer holidays, and Laurel had sat through most of double English with a head that felt as if it was stuffed with cotton wool, and eyes she had constantly fought to keep open, drugged by the inflated heat from the uncovered half of the window. (loc 158)
44. Thankful - He dragged them off to start again, thankful that the coach prevented anyone from seeing what he was up to. (loc 3413)
46. Together - Nell dropped into the seat opposite, pressing her lips together sympathetically. (loc 226)
47. Travel - "I'd travel," his father said. (loc 2246)
49. Welcome - "You're more than welcome," Rob replied, relieved that his plan hadn't backfired. (loc 2891)
50. Wonderful - His school friends had thought it a funny, ugly car, but because it was brand new, Rob had thought it was wonderful. (loc 252)
(11/6/17)
7. Custom - Introductory pleasantries thus suspended with, Jacques Van Damme came straight to the point, as was his custom. (loc 537)
10. Decor/Decorations - They found themselves inside an old furnace room and from there entered the servants' dressing rooms, which apparently doubled as storage space for everything from moldy files to Christmas decorations and catering paraphernalia. (loc 2720)
15. Fortunate - Ever since the day he'd fallen from City Hall's second floor balcony onto the hardwood floor below, and been fortunate enough that Wallace Pruym, the city secretary, was there to break the fall, things had gone from bad to worse with Bruges's former First Citizen. (loc 568)
26. Native - "It's called native advertising and viewability, Mom." (loc 2933)

35. Relax - "Just lie back and relax. (loc 2216)
(11/7/17)
1. Aroma - The sweet flowery scent of sweet pea, peonies and roses mixed with the exotic aroma of lily hung in the air, inviting passers-by to stop and linger outside, attracted to the bright bursts of color and the delightful perfume like bees to honey. (loc 1209)
39. Serving - They both ate two servings and finished the entire bottle of wine. (loc 1148)
43. Sweater - Beth sat down on the bed, kicked off her heels, slipped out of her black knee-length dress and put on a pair of linen slacks and a light blue angora sweater. (loc 209)
(11/8/17)
23. Magnificent - Watch this magnificent treasure treat me like a friend as well. (loc 354)
45. Thursday - Not too many people were there - an older couple facing each other on bar stools, a young guy by the front window drinking alone and texting on his phone, and a few guys at a table with their eyes glued to some sports replay on TV - but not completely dead for a Thursday. (loc 868)
(11/14/17)
4. Carving - "Everybody thought that slut carving was a zinger at Granny." (loc 8613)

(11/26/17)
5. Chestnuts - Every hotel room was ful, and there wasn't a parking space to be found down on Cypress Street, where shoppers pumped their chestnuts into an open fire of credit-card swipe-and-spend denial. (p 23)

39/50
(11/3/17)
9. Delicious - For in the first few minutes of their meeting Nell had taken in his eyes, which were a really dark, almost navy blue, sparking with surprise when she had entered the room to catch him messing about with the family photographs, and then dancing enticingly at her, in a way that even now made her shiver with a delicious kind of dread. (loc 1014)
11. Family - "Because she's family, whether you like it or not," Patrick replied, causing Nell's stomach to knot even more unpleasantly. (loc 318)

25. Memories - "My best memories are lying on my stomach in front of the TV with my dad in the armchair behind me, both of us guessing whodunit." (loc 4109)
27. Orchard - It was an odd place, which for hundreds of years must have remained little more than a rustic hamlet, until someone decided that the view from the top of the hill over the orchard laden landscape, was to die for, making the property developers move in to build in quick succession, many of the now classic chalet style houses of the late sixties, which made up the bulk of the village. (loc 2062)
29. Past - "I couldn't get past the first line." (loc 249)
32. Quilt - Patrick Flanagan's car when they reached it was parked in a lay-by on top of a remote hill, overlooking a patchwork quilt of North Cotswold countryside. (loc 1430)
42. Stuffed - It was the last day of term before the summer holidays, and Laurel had sat through most of double English with a head that felt as if it was stuffed with cotton wool, and eyes she had constantly fought to keep open, drugged by the inflated heat from the uncovered half of the window.

44. Thankful - He dragged them off to start again, thankful that the coach prevented anyone from seeing what he was up to. (loc 3413)

7. Custom - Introductory pleasantries thus suspended with, Jacques Van Damme came straight to the point, as was his custom. (loc 537)
10. Decor/Decorations - They found themselves inside an old furnace room and from there entered the servants' dressing rooms, which apparently doubled as storage space for everything from moldy files to Christmas decorations and catering paraphernalia. (loc 2720)
15. Fortunate - Ever since the day he'd fallen from City Hall's second floor balcony onto the hardwood floor below, and been fortunate enough that Wallace Pruym, the city secretary, was there to break the fall, things had gone from bad to worse with Bruges's former First Citizen. (loc 568)
26. Native - "It's called native advertising and viewability, Mom." (loc 2933)

45. Thursday - Not too many people were there - an older couple facing each other on bar stools, a young guy by the front window drinking alone and texting on his phone, and a few guys at a table with their eyes glued to some sports replay on TV - but not completely dead for a Thursday. (loc 868)
(11/14/17)
4. Carving - "Everybody thought that slut carving was a zinger at Granny." (loc 8613)
