#BookBingo – Round 14

The last book by an Australian man I read filled the crime category, but I've finally read … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 14

I was pretty chuffed on Friday to see this Tweet: Book vlogger My Reading Days documents her progress so far with our bingo card. Crossing mediums like this, and also seeing other reviewers, who I don't even know, using the bingo card was rather thrilling. So much time goes into choosing categories each year, theming … Continue reading #BookBingo hits YouTube

For the purposes of bingo, themes of fantasy also encompasses paranormal and gothic elements. I know many will scream nooo!!!! It's not the same!!!! It really isn't, but since I was at risk of blowing bingo out to an epic size, I had to stop adding categories. And paranormal didn't make the cut as a … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 8
Challenge Check In – March
Since I’m doing a few challenges this year, I thought I’d do a monthly check in post by way of keeping myself on track.
