This sounds fun! I'm in :)

The word can be anywhere in the text or on the cover. I will amend message 1 to say that.

I added a link in message 1 to the How To: Search a book for a word or item. I thought that might be helpful for some of you. Unfortunately, I don't have every device or app out there so I don't have directions for every one of them. At least the Amazon Look Inside feature can help and maybe just knowing that the search feature is likely on your electronic devices can motivate you guys to find it ; )

Are names allowed? (I know it's a no in proper Boggle, but thought I'd check...)

I've found over 200 words already, far more than I could ever read in 2 months. Now just need to find books with them in :D

Let's go with a no on the names. Good luck with those 200 words. LOL

No problem. I have 300 words now to choose from without resorting to names. It just jumped out at me because I am currently reading James Joyce and his name was sitting there staring at me, lol.

It is definitely not too late. Go ahead and jump in. There is still time to find some words.
