Beware 1/10

I have a question - can we use 1 book for more than one item?? Say we read a book that has a Black cover and find the word Psychic in the book - can we claim both?? And is there a limit to what we could find in a book??
This will help me determine my level :)

Oooooh! I love scavenger hunts!

You can use one book or ten books to find the items on the list. So if all 40 happen to be in one book, then you've lucked out. lol.

I have two questions. Is there a maximum amount of words you can get from one book? Cuz I'm 24% through a Sookie Stackhouse novel, and I've already found, like, 14... Also, do you have to wait until you finish the book to post the quotes, or can you do it as you go along?

Amber, Paris already kinda posted the answer to this up in message 12. I'm sure you can edit your post and list the book as you go for each one of the 40 words you come across, but I don't see that you actually have to quote the book line to get credit for it.

What I did today was keep a piece of paper near me as I read and wrote down all the matching words it covered, then came in and edited my post and linked the book I read to the word. A Whole New World netted me 5-6 words alone, and I didn't use all that I found!

The lesson we all learned today was "Never let Amber post when she's only been awake for a few minutes"... Thanks for the reminder, though.

I have a quick question. Are variations of the word okay? Like "ghosts" would be acceptable for "ghost"?

I'm doing it that way, AmyI. I'm using The Spider for the Spiders entry. However, Paris does have final say.

Oh, I hope it's okay. A lot of mine were singular when the list says plural, or vice versa. Eep!

Yep other variations of the word will work.
