Happy New Year, everyone!
Similar to the other Scavenger Hunt Challenges, but this one will be a bit more challenging to find all of the words and is published semi-annually.
• Most items are specific, but if in doubt about an item – just ask!
• You may use a single book to fulfill multiple items
• When you find one of the items, list the Book Title and Author (or link the cover), then specify where the item is found within the book and a blurb from the sentence. For audiobooks try to put the chapter if possible. If not, then at least let us know you got it from an audiobook.
The Twist
For each bonus word you find, you can replace TWO (2) of the regular list words! Be sure to list which 2 words you are choosing to replace.
Good Luck & Happy Reading! ☺
