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.

#BookBingo – Round 23
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.

#BookBingo – Round 22
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 hits YouTube
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

Book Bingo! The Messenger by Markus Zusak
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. The Messenger was recommended to me recently by two … Continue reading Book Bingo! The Messenger by Markus Zusak
Bingo! The Beguiled by Thomas Cullinan
Bingo Saturday is now getting down to the pointy end of the categories. This week, after much procrastination over which square to tick off, I finally settled on the following: A forgotten classic What exactly constitutes a forgotten classic though? The more I thought about it, the more grey this category became. In essence, I thought a … Continue reading Bingo! The Beguiled by Thomas Cullinan
Bingo! The Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton
It’s bingo Saturday once again – that rolled around fast! The square I’ve filled for this entry is: A book with a mystery Mystery threads itself right the way through this novel so it seemed like the obvious choice for this bingo square.
