Way long months ago, I launched into Reading Bingo feeling confident and happy and ready to roll.
Then I hit a swamp around September, and things moved mighty slowly.
But I got ‘er done.
Here’s my list:
A book with more than 500 pages
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo
A book written by someone under thirty
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
A book with a one-word title
Night by Elie Wiesel
The first book by a favorite author
The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
A book your friend loves
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
A forgotten classic
The Sign of Four by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
A book with non-chuman characters
Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand
A book of short stories
Wait for Signs by Craig Johnson
A book you heard about online
A Nice Little Place on the North Side by George Will
A book that scares you
Killshot by Elmore Leonard
A book that became a movie
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
A funny book

A book set on a different continent
The Dinner by Herman Koch
A book based on a true story
Cain at Gettysburg by Ralph Peters
The second book of a series

A book of nonfiction

A book at the bottom of your to be read pile

I really wished you could use one book for more than one square, because The Sign of Four could qualify for:
A forgotten classic
A book that is more than 10 years old
A book set on a different continent
The second book in a series
A book with a number in the title
A book with a mystery
If this had been Scrabble, I’d’ve been racking up the points on that one.
But I got it done the old-fashioned way, and I’m feeling good about it.
