And by covered, I mean my Book Bingo card (complete with notes and scribbles). The last time I wrote specifically about what I was reading for Book Bingo was way back at the end of June, so I'm just going to list the books I've read since then with links to goodreads so you can further explore anything that might sound good to you.

It was a good summer of reading, and I want to thank Mary for organizing Summer Book Bingo 2017 and giving many readers (myself included) lots of enthusiasm for summer reading.
So what's next? Lots of books, lots of choices! I'm leaning towards The Resurrection of Joan Ashby, but there is also A House Among the Trees, or maybe The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay? What a delightful dilemma to choose my next book!
Wishing everyone a wonderful (and hopefully long) weekend, hopefully with a little time for some good reading!
Hooray for your cover all!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! I am looking forward to taking some time for reading this weekend. Have a great weekend Bonny!
ReplyDeleteBRAVO! Well done! And, I strongly suggest Kavalier and Clay - listen to it - it is so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou are a well rounded reader and it's impressive to see a Bingo card completely covered!
ReplyDeleteI better read HOW NOT TO BE WRONG! Love that show us all the covers
ReplyDeleteAnd I just loved Magpie Murders! Oh well, I think my book taste is quite eclectic. For example, I think I am the only person who hated All the Light You Can Not See. Congrats on doing all that reading!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! (and I vote for Kavalier and Clay next - if you start soon you could finish before Hillary's book comes out next week) - just had a very nice time catching up with you... garden bounty, a finished hitchhiker and a re-start (I agree, the eyelets are much more interesting - and probably more fun to knit, too), daydreaming, eclipsing and a very fun 4-day cross country trip. Happy September!!
