You have "chosen" and "enamel" down twice ....
have left OFF "nightmares" and "popular"
I'm guessing this was a copy/paste error. Hope you have a record of those two missing words.
Wow, I must have been posting while asleep. I've edited to the correct words. Thanks for catching that!
I'm done! My first time completing the challenge!

limbo
Quran
I found everything except diarrhea, which happens to be in the audio I'm listening to, but I wasn't able to finish it in October.
Mod
Finished. Who would have thought 'yawn' would be so difficult.
Mod
I kinda have to guess at what will be the more challenging words and I've certainly been wrong before ... and certainly will be again in the future. LOL
For me ... I'm still looking for 'limbo'

You are NOT restricted to one book / one word; you may find as many of the words/phrases in a single book as you like. If you find all the words in one book you are really lucky!
This month's scavenger list are words that were found in

Optional/BONUS word list

===========================================
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.com's "look inside" feature to get a page number for you quote.
You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for finding the word/phrase.
EXAMPLE of a successful post:
Finger - The Summer Wives ✔ - 15May19 - pg 47 - "...instant before her fingers opened, I saw..."
Have Fun!
