(9/2/18)

3. Banana - "It had grown teeth the size of bananas." (p 128)
5. Bowl - "You shouldn't let him talk like that," Hilary said from the sink, the sound of the water running into the bowl competing with the music now blasting from Noah's room upstairs. (p 17)
6. Brownie - Just walk to the end of their street, Bugs Close, cross Brownie Hill and tramp across the field where Masie played football every Sunday morning. (p 49)
10. Cone - "And while they're at it, they're also projecting a sonic cone around you, filtering out the noise." (p 197)
16. Eat - Rob wanted to eat his breakfast in peace. (p 121)
22. Honey - The water tasted like honey, thick and sweet. (p 217)
25. Kids - She'd retired early, giving up her job at the local Co-op to help look after the kids. (p 13)
26. Kinds - While Bill thought he was all kinds of brilliant, she could see how easily her tutor rubbed people up the wrong way. (p 89)
27. Layer - She'd at least expected the deck to be dusted by a thin layer of hailstones, but they were gone. (p 34)
29. Make - She'd seen the pictures online, like something from the cheap horror films Noah's dad used to make her watch. (p 18)
32. Mess - "Excuse the mess", she said, beckoning them in. (p 89)
34. Nuts - Bill hadn't quite worked him out yet, from the strange things he said to the nuts and bolts she kept finding wherever he'd been. (p 116)
39. Pure - A baseball bat made of pure light. (p 194)
43. Sauce - "Did you want red or brown sauce?" (p 124)
47. Taste - "I could still taste it, though, when I licked the carpet." (p 172)

(9/5/18)

8. Chill - While the reminder of Bambi's skills in the boudoir made her shudder, his mention of the abyss gave her a chill. (p 17)
21. Gooey  - Nor could he grab on and hold her, his hands went right through the rainbow colored cloud and emerged gooey. (p 83)
24. Joy - "They'll be screams of joy." (p 85)


(9/13/18)

1. Almond - These incluce almond-shaped handaxes, knife-edged scrapers, and stone points that were probably hafted to spears. (p 408)
2. Artistic - Inventiveness, "artistic and religious sensibilities," and capacities for abstract thought were, according to Boule, clearly beyond such a beetle-browed creature. (p 417)
9. Chocolate Other absent calcifiers are Lima lima, a common bivalve; Jujubinus striatus, a chocolate-colored sea snail; and Serpulorbis arenarius, a mollusk known as a worm snail. (p 217)
12. Delicious - The frogs were also served delicious fresh meals - "so fresh, in fact, the food could hop right off the plate." (p 19)
13. Dessert - Because it seemed like the thing to do, I ordered the Menu Cuvier - your choice of entrée plus dessert. (p 65)
14. Dish - The apes seemed to graps quantity as well as the kids did - they consistently chose the dish containing more treats, even when the choice involved using what might loosely be called math - and also seemed to have just as good a grasp of causality. (p 429)
15. Drizzle - Here in the Southern Uplands of Scotland, though, I'm told by one of the geologists I'm hiking with, this counts only as a light drizzle, or smirr. (p 171)
18. Frozen - Several common North American frogs, including spring peepers, are able to survive the winter frozen solid, like popsicles. (p 29)
19. Fruit - Pretty much every square metre of the BDFFP has been studied by someone: a botanist tagging trees, an ornithologist banding birds, an entomologist counting fruit flies. (p 304)
28. Lemon - Among the fish that I think I may have spotted were: tiger sharks, lemon sharks, gray reef sharks, blue-spine unicorn fish, yellow boxfish, spotted boxfish, conspicuous angle-fish, Barrier Reef anemonefish, Barrier Reef chromis, minifin parrotfish, Pacific longnose parrotfish, somber sweetlips, fourspot herring, yellowfin tuna, common dolphinfish, deceifer fangblenny, yellow spotted sawtail, barred rabbitfish, blunt-headed wrasse, and striped cleaner wrasse. (p 245)
31. Melt - Huge ice sheets advanced across the Northern Hemisphere, only to melt away again some hundred thousand years later. (p 281)
35. Occasion - Nature does, on occasion, "change course", and at such moments, it is as if the "thread of operations" has been broken. (p 86)
37. Party - (Rhino horns, which are made of keratin, like your fingernails, have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine but in recent years have become even more sought-after as high-end party "drug"; at clubs in southeast Asia, powdered horn is snorted like cocaine.) (p 384)
38. Peanuts - Later, I watched the BBC crew restage this experiment with some five-year-old children, using little plastic containers of candy in place of peanuts. (p 428)
40. Quality - Zalasiewicz tells me - doubtless exaggerating - that I have found a "museum quality specimen." (p 177)
42. Rocky  - The Beagle made its first stop at St. Jago - now Santiago - in the Cape Verde Islands, and Darwin, eager to put his new knowledge to work, spent several days collecting speciments from its rocky cliffs. (p 95)
44. Scoop - He stood completley still and then, with a heronlike gesture, darted to scoop up the frog. (p 45)
45. Social - A few years later Newton and Darwin became correspondents - at one point Newton sent Darwin a diseased partridge's foot that he thought might be of interest to him - and eventually the two men paid social calls on each other. (p 122)
46. Strawberry - it was about the size of a strawberry and covered in little pimples, or tubercles. (p 150)
49. Vanilla - The guano from thirty thousand gannet pairs has given the island what looks like a coating of vanilla frosting. (p 116)

(9/15/18)

23. Ingredients - Antivirals and antibiotics degrade after a few months, so you'll be mixing your own medicines from dry ingredients.
(p 42)

(9/21/18)

33. Mint - Just then Krystle walked over to their table with a large chocolate mint shake. (loc 1410)

(9/25/18)

4. Batch - "I figured someone must have brought in a batch of them, since I hadn't bought any chocolate cookies." (p 65)
7. Caramel - "The bakery makes scrumptious pumpkin breads and caramel apple cupcakes we can cut up and serve on toothpicks." (p 109)
17. flavor - The wine had a nice, rich flavor. (p 270)
30. Marshmallow - "Marshmallows?" (p 432)

(9/25/18)

11. Dairy - "It was a life-size plastic horse from the dairy over on Mill Brook Road." (loc 847)

(9/28/18)

50. Whipped Cream - Maybe I'd splurge on a mocha with whipped cream. (p 84)

(9/29/18)

41. Raisin - Eight ounces of raisins (p 128)

(9/30/18)

48. Topping - Ty did his best to ignore him, finding any excuse to do so - straightening tack in the tack room, topping off the barn cat's food an water bowls that were still nearly full from when he and Heather had come through less than an hour ago, sweeping a floor that didn't need to be swept. (p 125)

Welcome Rosa!

It was so weird - I did this list and then I started finding gooey in the books I read afterwards! I knew it would be a hard word!

I remember seeing gooey in a recent book in reference to cinnamon rolls and now I can't recall which one it was. Hazards of too much reading!
