I don't know about the rest of you, but I LOVE the annual memes people post on their threads. I'd like to see them all in one place so everyone can find them easily and see the answers from people they don't generally "follow" on LT. I didn't see a thread about it, so I figured I'd start one here.
For anyone who doesn't know about the meme, you basically answer a few questions using only the titles of books you have read in the past year. Sometimes it's a struggle or a stretch, but sometimes it works out perfect. Case in point, one of my answers last year: Your favorite form of transportation: The Library Book. :D
The questions are below. We still have over three weeks of reading left, but I wanted to give you a chance to start thinking about it. Maybe you'll be inspired to pick up a book off the TBR pile, just because the title would be a great answer. LOL

Great answers so far! I'm working on my list. I usually wait until the very end of the month when I know I'm not going to finish any more books this year. Sooooo many good possibilities this year. I read a bunch of The Chronicles of St. Mary's which are awesome on their own.

>19 sturlington: You gave Spinster only 3 stars - does that mean it was just OK or was it less than OK?
I think we should do a half-year meme or maybe a fiscal year meme in June/July. Mine always end up being darker than I intended, even when I try to do them when I'm in a good mood. It doesn't help that I read a lot of urban fantasy - with vampires and werewolves, everything is either Dark, Night, Blood, or Death. LOL. There's only one more book I'm likely to finish this year, so I'm going to go ahead and post my meme now.

23sturlington
>20 BookLizard: You can't go by my stars. They are my personal weird system for tracking books' significance to my reading life. If I didn't like it, it will get one or two stars. Three or more stars is a recommendation, for the right reader. My reviews are a better guide to the quality of the book, though.
I did like Spinster and would recommend it if you are interested in the subject matter. So the three stars reflects its narrower focus.

I'm really enjoying everyone's answers and marveling we don't have more duplication. I waited to read the majority of the memes until I had decided my own because I didn't want to be influenced by other answers. I see some books in more than one category, which is pretty normal for these. It's always interesting to see what we find to fit. I had some great runner-ups, but I didn't post those this year.

>49 thornton37814: HA! When I saw your answer "Describe yourself: The Family Tree Problem Solver," I thought you couldn't fix my family tree, but when I read "What is life for you: Tracing Your Ancestors in Lunatic Asylums" I thought you might get it after all.
I'm loving the snowmen cartoons and everyone has such interesting answers.

Food would have to be The Lemon Table on the grounds that my other foodie sounding titlres are a bit icky or insibstantial. The Scent of Almonds for instance, would not be too sustaining.
