Thanks

Would this work for semi-truck?

"His headlights revealed the bottom of a flipped eighteen-wheeler, perhaps ten yards ahead."

It's a truck overturned on a highway. I had no idea semi truck would be this hard!

I know I would use it. An eighteen-wheeler is synonymous with 'semi truck'.

That works Cait.

Thank you! I read the list at the beginning and thought this seemed like an easier round but it's proving tougher than I thought. I've still got six I have to find, one of which is probably going to be in a genre I don't like touching lol

I'm in for this one.

",,, sing his favorite three opera songs dedicating them to his "secret love."

Sure hope this is okay for secret admirer?????

That will work Joanne

Paris wrote: "That will work Joanne"

Thanks! That means I got them all! Look forward to the new list.

Lucky. I need secret admirer and keep.

And I just finished the next list today....and it looks hard, at least for me. lol

I only remember seeing keep in 1 or 2 books ever. I may never find it again!

Paris wrote: "Lucky. I need secret admirer and keep.

:-o Uh oh!!

I can't find Keep either.

Ha! I read 4 books with the word keep in it before this list, of course I couldn't find it after this list started. I blame those books for keep being on the list.

Finding a keep is hard! There are really only a couple of genre's that are likely to have one - historical, or fantasy. I keep hoping I'll get lucky and find it in another.

Keep is messing me up too. I absolutely hate historical books so it's proving practically impossible to find unless I want to suffer through something I can't stand.

Which I guess I will because I refuse to not finish lol

I found keep in The Presence. It's not a historical book.
I think the story line is good, but I can't say I enjoyed it that much. I think Heather Graham's style just isn't for me. It's rated 3.97/5 so you may enjoy it though.
It's an old book that I found at my library when I was looking for a pink cover for another challenge. It was a nice surprise to find keep in it.

Done! Message 7

Looking forward to the next!

I have now tried and dropped FIVE books trying to find keep. I'm going to cry, I swear. This is the absolute worst word we have ever had.

Cait, I'm so with you. That's the only word I have left and I am having no luck. I'm sorry I came up with it.

I've gotten to where I am literally going book by book through my TBR and searching all the evenly vaguely historical or fantasy books for it. I always try not to do this because I enjoy just stumbling onto the words but this is an emergency lol

I'll let you know if I dig up any decent ones. Good luck <3 <3

Thanks. I'll let you know too. The series I read before this was by Lauren Dane. The first book was . I liked them all. And I'm pretty sure Keep was mentioned in all of them.

I FINALLY found keep!!! has it and is so far really awesome. Thank goodness!

Way to go Cait!

Done!! Thank goodness. That round was SO HARD. But at least it kept me busy all three months lol See you in a week!

I'm finished. See Message 14. That was fun!

I found them all except 'national park' and 'St Patrick's Day', which I will carry over to the next scavenger hunt.

I finished for this quarter
