Hi Zoe, welcome to the challenge, your list looks great! Feel free to swap books around if you need to and good luck!

Welcome to the challenge Zoe. You've got a nice plan so far. Have fun with it.

Thanks :) It should be fun!!

I'm thinking of reading the Tibetan Book of the Dead for Asia's classic.

I haven't figured out how to do links yet sorry.

At the top of the comment box you should see 'add book/author', click on that and search for the book you want to link.

Good luck with your bingo challenge :)

Good luck wit..."
Thanks :)

Some great books on that list Zoe! (on my TBR list)

I'm currently reading 1984.

Also, there's a few of us intending to do a buddy read of The Woman in White in May - join us if you can :)

The Woman in White is a great story.

Thanks - I look forward to the buddy read. :)

Finally I have a one line Bingo! My approach has been so scattered that it took 18 books to get it.

Congrats Zoe!

My approach is scattershot too. Always takes a LOT of books to get my first bingo. Once I've completed something like 18 books to get my first bingo, then I reach bingo all over the place after that.

Zoe, you weren't alone in taking so many books to get your first bingo. As Andrea says, they should turn up more often now. Congrats!

Well that took ages! I ended up swapping Don Quixote for The Misanthrope. I'm still reading Don Quixote - but goodness it is a slog.
