By ROMANCE READERS READING CHALLENGES GROUP (on Goodreads).
HI everyone! I just wanted to share this amazing word hunt challenge. This is one of my all time favorites, just because it's so fun and there's no pressure of completing/finding all the given words.
* (All credit goes to Romance Readers Reading Challenges Group on Goodreads. This is just my entry post.)
〷 DURATION 〷
1 - 31 December 2020
〷 LEVELS 〷
0-3 words : better luck next time
3-5 words : warming up
6-8 words : getting hotter
9-10 words : CHAMPION hunter!
The maximum number of words for each book is THREE. There is no page limit.
〷 RULES 〷
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 whisper sync 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).
