2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Scattergories involves filling out a category list with answers that all begin with the same letter. Answers must fit the category and begin with the same letter! For our version of the game, use the first letter of the title of the book you are currently reading. Come back and retry it each time you start a new book if you want!

This isn't a reading challenge, just a fun little game! If you want to use it as a reading challenge though you are welcome to!
