Your challenge is to find the words/phrases shown in the above post in the TEXT of the books you are reading this month.

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 word list came from:
The Yellow Wallpaper and Selected Writings by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

NOTE: You may NOT use this book for this month's scavenger hunt!

Basic Word List

wallpaper

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’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!

Great scavenging, Karen!

All words, basic and bonus, found!!

Whoop Whoop WHOOP! Great job, Koren.

I was able to get all the basic words, I think the first time this year. Frustrating to find one of the bonus words on May 1, too late!

I never close the challenges ... so feel free to complete them at any time. (I, myself, recently found a word form a Dec 2020 hunt!)

Finished the April, 2022 Bonus Words! Yea!

Well, that didn't take long! Great job, Marilyn.
