Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 1816 comments AAARGH .... computer malfunction ate my excel spreadsheet where I was tracking this (and all other word search puzzles).

My own fault I hadn't backed up to the cloud since April. S*I*G*H

Lost all that data.

Well, I'll start over with this one, but I'm abandoning all the older challenges where I had only one or two words left.

Lesson learned - back up daily.
