#BookBingo – Round 25

Dec 7, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / 12 Comments

Drumroll...this is the end! A full bingo card for 2019, finishing on the square: A book written by an author with the same initials as you For this one, I picked Bitter Leaves by Tabatha Stirling. But I didn’t actually finish it. I think my issue with this novel is mostly to do with the … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 25

This one is a double round. First up, I have: Written by an author over the age of 65 Bingo! Another row completed... For this round, I have the perfect choice in: Rosa: Memories With Licence by Ros Collins Ros writes in such a warm and conversational style, giving the reader the same feeling you … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 24

#BookBingo – Round 23

Nov 9, 2019Aug 28, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / 4 Comments

Book written by an Australian woman more than 10 years ago: I Have a Bed Made of Buttermilk Pancakes by Jaclyn Moriarty Lent to me by a friend at work, I Have a Bed Made of Buttermilk Pancakes was a novel I hadn’t even heard of. But I read Gravity is The Thing earlier this … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 23

Another horizontal line filled on my card. Bingo! Themes of Science Fiction: Rogue by A.J. Betts I know that dystopian fiction seems to have morphed into a genre of its own but it has its genesis in science fiction, so with keeping this in mind, I was able to easily slot Rogue, book 2 of … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 22

#BookBingo – Round 21

Oct 12, 2019Jul 21, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / 6 Comments

I've filled a horizontal line this round. Bingo! 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

#BookBingo – Round 20

Sep 28, 2019Jun 23, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / Leave a comment

This round gives me my second completed horizontal line - bingo! Romance: The Cinema at Starlight Creek by Alli Sinclair I don't read genre romance books at all, but I do read a lot of books that contain romance, particularly historical fiction. I've picked The Cinema at Starlight Creek for this category because it contained … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 20

#BookBingo – Round 19

Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton Winner of four ABIAs: Book of the Year, Literary Book of the Year, the Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year and Audio Book of the Year (Wavesound, narrated by Stig Wemyss). It’s also on the 2019 Miles … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 19

#BookBingo – Round 18

Aug 31, 2019Jun 23, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / 13 Comments

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

#BookBingo – Round 17

Aug 17, 2019Jun 23, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / 9 Comments

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

#BookBingo – Round 16

Aug 3, 2019Jun 23, 2019 / Theresa Smith Writes / 6 Comments

As soon as I read this particular novel, I knew I was going to use it for bingo because I instantly wanted to be able to feature it more than once here on my blog. That's how much I loved it. Literary: The Fragments by Toni Jordan I adored this novel, a literary mystery, with … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 16
