The Lost Challenges discussion

✱ Please use the TLC STANDARD RULES when participating in this challenge.
If you are not familiar with these rules, please click on the link and read them over. ✱


The general rules of Scattergories are that you are given a list of categories and a time limit. Then the letter dice is rolled and you have to come up with something that matches the letter and the category.

The object of this challenge is the same sort of thing as the board game. We give you a list of 12 categories/words and a letter and you find items that MATCHES the letter and category in your books. The goal is to find all 12 items. You may use a book to fulfill as many categories as it fits (you don't have to read 12 books this month...don't worry!)

The first 6 categories will stay the same, the second 6 will be announced each month. You may use the same words, BUT you must use different sentences.


Please remember to add a link to the book, the author and give the date you finished reading it.
You also need to post a partial sentence and page/loc# for items 7-12.
