I printed my Book Bingo card while on vacation, and have been making some progress. I haven't matched up books to every square, but keep telling myself that those will be easy squares to fill. I know Book Bingo is meant to broaden my reading horizons, and it does; I just have real difficulty reading something I hate, so I took a bit of license (so far) and refreshed twice before printing so I would have the coveted "Mentioned on the Gilmore Girls" square. This meant I also got the somewhat dreaded "With a mythological creature on the cover", but I'm calling Aslan on the cover of The Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe mythological because I'm the boss of my card. I've also got "Thriller/Suspense", but I'll worry about that one later.
I'm currently reading The Son and The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper, so I may have a bingo in the next week or so. The Son is wonderful so far, just a bit long and difficult to keep track of the extensive family tree and non-linear storytelling. Only 18 more books after that for a complete cover!
I love your take on your card! And, thank you for introducing me to Mary! XO
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to fill in some of the squares, but I think with time titles will come my way and I'll get several Bingos if not a complete cover. So far so good!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED The Son and can't wait to hear what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteI have some squares yet to fill, too. Getting close to marking off a couple more squares, though!!
ReplyDeleteyes - summer reading is supposed to be fun! love what you're planning and can't wait to see who's the first to cry BINGO!
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely the boss of your own bingo card! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so far behind! :-) That's okay though...like we say...it's all for fun!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I highly recommend Brain on Fire! Read it last year, tried (but failed) to get my book group to read it this year.
