Last bingo for 2018 and the final category I needed to fill was: A book written more than 10 years ago For this final bingo I've selected The Messenger by Markus Zusak, first published in 2002, so it more than fits the bill for this category.

Last week, on bingo Saturday, I wrote a post about how I'd forgotten about bingo in amoungst the flurry of end of year events.

Bingo! The Perils of Too Much Fun
So far, November has brought on a lot of social activity for this introverted bookworm.

Book Bingo is getting even more challenging with only a few squares left.

Bingo! The Missing Man by Peter Rees
It’s bingo Saturday once again – that rolled around fast! The square I’ve filled for this entry is: A non-fiction book I don't read anywhere near the amount of non-fiction as I do fiction, but I'm trying more and more to slot titles in with regularity. Peter Rees has done an extraordinary job with putting … Continue reading Bingo! The Missing Man by Peter Rees
