Yes you are. Looks like a good set of books read so far.

Looks like you're doing great :)

This is my first bingo challenge so I'm sort of figuring it out as I go.

I'm doing the same thing. I don't like to pre-plan too much, especially in the early stages, as it's fun to read what you like, then see if you can fit any into the bingo squares.

I've read a couple of the same books, but still need to finish The Island of Dr Moreau, which I'm finding quite dull so far.

Best way to do it IMO.

I really wasn't a fan of that one to be honest.

Yeah, I didn't want to make it stressful by figuring it all out ahead of time and making myself stick to a plan.

Slowly but surely making progress

Good for you.

Another one down

With finishing A Tale of Two Cities tonight, I managed to get a level-one BINGO.

I honestly wasn't sure I'd get one, so I'm happy.

Congrats...that is great! And a great book to do it with, imo...
I read for Bingo too this year... :)

congrats Sarah...

Well done Sarah!

Congrats Sarah on your bingo :0)

Thanks all! :)

Congrats Sarah!
