Tips for finding words - courtesy of Jennifer ♔Princess Penguin♔Using Google books:
~Go here https://books.google.com/bkshp?hl=en&...
~Type in the name of your book
~Select your book
~On the left about midway down there will be a search bar, type your word in there.
Couple of things you need to know...
~you need to check every variety of the word you want so, let's say GROUP doesn't show up you would also need to type in GROUPS/ED/ING
~Unfortunately, 99% of the books on Google does not list page numbers (at least in my experience)
Using Amazon:
~You search for your book
~Once on your book page make sure you are on a version that is paperback or hardcover (Kindle editions will not work)
~On the left there will be a picture of your book and it should have "Search Inside" above it
~Click on the book and the search bar will be inside
You will not need to search separately for plurals but you will still need to search separately for -ed and -ing
***
You can also search for words in all the books loaded on your Kindle.
On the home page, use the 'search' function.
~ type in the word and select 'search my items'.

Bonus
For our over-achievers who just need some extra words because the above weren't enough...
Unlike with the 10 words above - you must find the EXACT word to claim these bonus words, and I try to make them hard.
coin
dull
railway
shrugged
stitch
and a bonus bonus
audacious or US spelling
To prove that you have found the word, please quote the page, percentage or LOC (Kindle) and include the sentence in which it appears.
Audiobooks are allowed so long as you can quote the page/%/LOC and the sentence. (Eg Using whispersync or finding that sentence in some other way.)
You must find the actual word or the word's root word must be at the core with the meaning essentially remaining the same ~ just turned into a noun, adjective, adverb etc. No prefixes or hyphenated extensions. An extension is allowed where it is often the accepted spelling eg goodbye or good-bye.
Where a word has more than one meaning, either meaning may be used. Eg coast (beachfront) or coast (moving without effort) etc
Please post all entries, updates, final posts and questions in this thread.
RULING for the BONUS words
If you are one of those super-cray-cray/OCD/overly ambitious/organised or bored readers who wish to find words from PRIOR months that are missing in addition to the current month's words, you may use an additional three (3) words per book. These can only be allocated to prior month words.
So you may allocate three words per book to the current month's words, AND three words per book if those words are from PRIOR months' and have been carried forward.
