The Challenge Factory discussion

Scavenger Hunt XVIII

Duration: April 1st to June 30th, 2016

•This “Challenge” works in conjunction with the other challenges you may participate in during this time frame.

•While you are fulfilling the requirements of your other challenges, be on the lookout for the following items - they may be on the cover or mentioned in the book. Most items are specific, but if in doubt about an item – just ask!

•You may use a book to fulfill multiple items (you do not have to read 50 books for this challenge...do not worry!)

•When you find one of the items, list the Book Title and Author (or link the cover), date it, & rate it. Then specify where the item is found within the book. For audiobooks try to put the chapter if possible. If not, then at least let us know you got it from an audiobook.

•Books that are used must be read during the period of this challenge, the challenge does not start until 4/1/16, but you can get your lists together early. Good Luck & Happy Reading! ☺

I go back to work tomorrow. I had today off for my last appointment with my surgeon. It will be the first thing I do when I get there. I just wish I could post from work....Maybe I'll send it to my email on my phone, copy it and try to paste it on my phone. Not always easy, but it'll be worth it.

If it's not there....I will probably cry. Just a warning.

I'll be here to comfort you. Since you listened to me cry about Keeps :P I'm so anxious to find out, I imagine it's twenty times worse for you.

Hi Denise! Yup, you're in the right spot. You just wait for Paris to post the list of words to find and then put that in your comment. If you haven't done it before and you'd like to see how some people format theirs, you can check out the last round here- Scavenger Hunt

((I linked to my comment because it's the one I had open but there's lots of different ways to do it :) ))

Thanks very much Cait!

The list is now up. Sadly it wasn't on my work computer, but thankfully Google Docs keeps a history of your revisions and I have my list of words to use saved in a Google doc. My last revision was removing all the words from my list that I planned to use this time. Thank goodness! No crying needed today,

YAY!!!!

Question: Is 'Check' a noun, verb, adjective, or any use of the word?

Cait wrote: "PepperP0t wrote: "Well Cait, if you're gonna be all sweet, we can't tease her."

Lol! I have to! This is my favorite challenge across the board, I've gotta keep it going ;)"

at least you gave her a list before she starts crying. (*looks over shoulder.*) Oh, What a great dress. Have you lost weight? Cute shoes. Thanks Paris or such fantastic words for the challenge. You're so talented.

Any form of the word check will work.

hahaha you guys are cracking me up. I'm glad people enjoy this challenge. This was always my favorite challenge and I had to make sure it kept going when I became a mod.

Hopefully you enjoy this round. I tried to give a good mix of easy and difficult. And I always make sure that they are items we haven't done before.

Not quite the gift box I had in mind, but if we get to the end and you can't find an actual gift box, I'll take it. So hold on to this as a maybe.

Does the spelling matter for sculpture ...I found a sculptor. Also does taxi cab have to have the full word? Or will u take just taxi?

Just taci works. I think svulptor is the person that svulpts the sculpture so that wouldn't work unless it truly is a misspelling and they are talking about an object.
