Beloved Classic: The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne I have a lot of beloved classics but just in case I don’t read anymore of them this year, I figured I'd better lock this one in! This round gives me another full row filled across the top of … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 21

This round gives me my second completed horizontal line - bingo!

And for this fortnight we come to the dumbest of the bingo categories (I really don't know what I was thinking here when I created this square): Novella no more than 150 pages Short stories and novellas are of no interest to me at all. I've tried, over and over, I really have, but next … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 18

I have to take what I can get with this category as memoirs really aren't my cup of tea! Reading them puts the 'challenge' into reading challenge. Memoir about a non-famous person: Diving into Glass by Caro Llewellyn Fans of memoirs will think this is an incredible book; in many ways it is. Caro Llewellyn … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 17

Now, this category is a lot harder than it might seem because I really don't read all that much fiction written by men, occupational hazard I suppose, given my focus and work for the Australian Women Writers Challenge. 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
