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!

NOTE - you may NOT use the book which is the source for the words in the scavenger hunt!

This month's scavenger list are words found in
Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
NOTE: You may NOT use this book for this month's scavenger hunt!

Basic word list
annoy
casualty
dizzy
emergency
flesh
incline

limbs (in reference to arms & legs, NOT branches of a tree)
overnight
pinch
razor
twins
ultimately
veins
yellow

Optional (BONUS) word list

qualms
stainless-steel



=============================================================

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 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!

Whoop, Whoop, WHOOP! Great work, Jonquil!

Challenge Complete! Thanks for the fun!

You're welcome, Donna. Great scavenging!

Actually finished the basic list for January!

Having difficulty - again - posting the scavenger hunt for next month.

I've decided to try to do it piecemeal ... so just posted an announcement, and I'll come back tomorrow to fill in the res. The thread is locked for now.

In the future I may be doing this earlier in the month, to be sure we have a thread I can fill in later - closer to month-end.
