Livejournal Scattergories

Snagged from multiple people a few weeks ago (the list has been sitting in Wordpad on my desktop for a little while now).

Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the following...They MUST be real places, names, things...NOTHING made up! If you can't think of anything, skip it. Try to use different answers if the person in front of you had the same 1st initial. You CAN'T use your name for the boy/girl name question.

50 Book challenge

I decided to try the 50 book challenge (50bookchallenge) this year, since I've noticed a definite drop in the number of books I read these days. In part, I blame the internet and fanfic... the former taking up the spare time I used to use for reading and the latter filling the mental niche that books used to solely own. But the thing that caused my bookreading to take a major hit last year was the car accident. I had a few months where holding a book to read was very difficult (and, in the beginning, pretty much impossible) and I plain and simply got out of the habit.

I'm not off to a particularly fiery start this year, either... but I got a bit stuck on one book and kept thinking I should finish it before seriously moving on to another. I finally got smart, put it down, and picked up one of the other numerous books that I had on my Teetering Pile (several of which I'd already started reading previously).

So, without further ado, ( the first six books of the year. )
