The Challenge Factory discussion

Welcome to the Bonus Hunt! It's almost time to break out the cider, flannel, and cocoa!

This challenge will run from September 1 - October 31, 2025.

Most items are pretty general, but some are specific. If in doubt about an item – just ask! I try to be pretty flexible on most of these, since I want everyone to have fun. They may be on the cover or mentioned in the book.

The Rules:
• List the sentence in which the word (or phrase) is found and its location in the book.
• You may use a book (or even a single sentence) to fulfill multiple items (you do not have to read 40 separate books for this challenge!)
• Books that are used must be read after the period of this challenge has started.
Note: Variations of spelling are always accepted.
