You'll need to copy and paste the list again so that you can edit it as you go. Have fun!!

My Bingo Challenge is off to a great start :-)

Since the beginning of the year I've read both Death of a Naturalist (N4), Heidi (G4) and We Have Always Lived in the Castle (O2).

My favourite was by far We Have Always Lived in the Castle, a really great read, I highly recommend it.

Well done, i liked We have always lived in the castle too.

I've been wanting to read that last one for some time. Nice to know I'm in for something good.

I've updated my list of books read - I've really made a good start to this challenge as January has been a very good reading month. Since I started evening classes this week I'm pretty sure I won't be able to keep up the momentum.

My favourite read is still We Have Always lived in the Castle, though I also really enjoyed The Scarlet Letter

Yes, you have been reading right along here. Good luck with your evening classes! And hope that you still have some reading time in your schedule.

Best of luck with your classes!

Updated - still some to go but finished my first row:

B4: Children's Classic Heidi by Johanna Spyri Read January 2016
I4: Banned Book The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov Read June 2016
N4: Poetry Collection Death of a Naturalist by Seamus Heaney Read January 2016
G4: Classic from School The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne Read January 2016
O4: Mystery or Crime Classic Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers Read January 2016

Congratulations, Julie!!!

Great Julie!

You've read some great titles for you first row of bingo!

I read Whose Body? recently too and thought it was fun. What great progress you're making through this challenge--yay Julie!

Just three books to go for the full plate - namely:

B3: Classic of Africa
G1: Published in the 1600's
O3: Classic of Asia or Oceania

B3 and O3 corresponds well with two of my to-read books from my women's century challenge, and then I think I'll do a Shakespeare play for G1 :-)

Wow, Julie what a great list of books and you are moving right along with the challenge.

Looks like you have a good plan for your last few books, I hope you enjoy them :)

And I'm all done! My last read ended up being A Bend in the River for the B3 square. I really enjoyed this and the other reads this year - I love that challenges like this helps me broaden my reading

Great job Julie!

Congrats on finishing! I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge and that it broadened your reading, well done!

Well done, Julie. You have an interesting list and it's great that you enjoyed them.

Congrats Julie. Just completed it last night myself and am catching up on everyone's progress now.
