This is definitely a family favorite and I am pretty sure every member of my family could quote this movie word for word!

Some of you caught on that I had used this one before, but it is one of my all time favorites, so it had to make the list!

Lauredhel Omg didn't we have "dragoon" last year? Or was that a different challenge? 2mo

AsYouWish @Lauredhel Good catch! I looked back and it was two years ago, but I remember how much fun everyone had looking for that one, lol! Plus, I can‘t make it too easy, right?!💙💙💙💙 2mo

Lauredhel @AsYouWish haha I've found a book in my TBR that will work... 2mo

AsYouWish @Lauredhel haha I am using the book version of the movie, because I doubt I have any other book that word is in. It is going to be fun seeing what everyone comes up with!!!💙💙💙 2mo

julieclair We did have “dragoon”, and I remember being so amazed when I actually found it! 2mo

AsYouWish @julieclair I was amazed that people found it! I try not to pick words that are impossible to find, but I also like to challenge everyone and I was worried that one pushes it too far. 2mo

julieclair Challenges are good! 😘 2mo

Be honest - did anyone know that this movie existed?! If you have never heard of it or seen it, it is amazing!!! So cheesy and fully of 80‘s music, it is a definite go to movie for me!

Seeking_Serenity Hi! I hope you're doing well! I want to join you for next month if that's possible. So if you can tag me with the new post I'll be very grateful. 2mo

AsYouWish @Seeking_Serenity I have you added to my list!! If you have any questions please let me know!! It runs all year so you are more than welcome to go back and pick up any words we have done so far this year, if you want or if you just want to pick up from July that is awesome too! 💙💙💙 2mo

Seeking_Serenity @AsYouWish are there any rules to the challenge other than the obvious one which is that the book has something in common with the words? 2mo

AsYouWish @Seeking_Serenity No, if a book matches a word it counts! It can be an image on the cover or in the book, it can be the actual word or a variation of the word. I try to keep the words fairly simple, but every once in a while I will throw a tricky one in just so it makes it interesting. As I said before it is a year long challenge so if you find a word in October that was listed in July it counts! I am very flexible on how words found. 💙💙💙 2mo
