If you could lay out the grid you choose, and put as many as you can before we start, that'd be good Teresa. But don't forget, your books are all subject to change - so if you read another book and it fits in the grid, you can substitute that book :)
Great thank you, I'll set it up when I get on my computer. Good to know I can change a book if I need to 😊

It's time for another Mini Book Bingo
The Rules:
#1. Read a minimum of two (2) rows - either across or down but not diagonal (a total of ten (10) squares) - therefore 10 books!
#2. Where the squares overlap (if they do) you must read that square twice.
For example: I might say I want to read #1 across & #4 down - therefore the square which says "Aussie author" would have two (2) from that category:)
#3. Choose your rows; then list (and link) your books in this challenge thread.
#4. At least one Aussie author per row - Two rows minimum = Two Aussie authors. Three rows = three Aussie authors. Please make sure all Aussie authors are clearly marked in your lists :)
Feel free to read as many rows as you want (minimum two)
Make sure you check out the challenge guidelines here
TEMPLATE:
Easy - 2 Rows = 10 books (Minimum 2 Aussie authors)
Medium - 3 Rows = 15 books (Minimum 3 Aussie authors)
Hard - 5 Rows = 25 books (Minimum 5 Aussie authors)
Level:
0/?
Settle back and enjoy another season of reading fun!
