Bea is not available this month, so I am posting the August Scattergories letters for her. Sorry for the delay, but I am on the West Coast of the US, so I am always a ways behind everyone else.

At any rate, here are the letters:

P, S, F, B, I

And at this point, P and I are retired.

Happy booking everyone!

Hurray for new letters! Double hurray that my plan includes mostly novels instead of mostly nonfiction. I should easily catch up now.
