✔9. Thing you should not touch ~ page 11, Tales from the Café by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (6/6/2025):
His hair was midlength and arranged untidily, he had a sunburnt face and he was wearing a sports strip that read “MEITOKU FC” with the number 9 printed on the back.
✔10. Thing that is blue ~ page 56, Tales from the Café by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (6/6/2025):
As he was looking at the screen, the woman in the dress returned from the toilet and stood in front of the table.
✔11. Item found in a backyard or park ~ page 97, Poison for Breakfast by Lemony Snicket (6/5/2025):
But I like to use a park as the antidote to worry, rather than as an excuse to worry further, and I never mind whatever animals I see in a park. I’ve seen squirrels and chipmunks, snakes and salamanders, butterflies and ladybugs.
✔12. A place where you buy things ~ page 920, Labor of Love: An MPREG Charity Anthology by various authors (6/9/2025):

✱ 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.
