Thanks. Bingo challenges are always fun.

Have fun Janet!

Enjoy the challenge for 2018 Janet.

Thanks Terris. Thanks Katy for getting this together for us.

I reserve the right to change my choices but I think I have my list set up. This will be a year of good reading.

Looks like it...I'm liking your list for some ideas.
Have fun!

Isn't it awesome that we can include The DaVinci Code and the Hunt for Red October in classics Bingo???

You have some great books here. I've never heard of the Capote book you listed, but I might try to locate it now. Good luck!

Great choices! Good luck with your challenge!

They certainly will be considered classics for future generations.

Finished my first Bingo.

Congrats!!
You’re reading plenty, quietly over here :0)

Completed the challenge today. Finished with The Woman in White which had several memorable characters(Marion Halcombe, Count Fosco, and the hilarious Frederick Fairlie). It was perhaps stretched out a little bit too much so I only gave it 4 stars. Close to a 5 star read though.

You've read some great books, Janet! Congratulations on finishing your Bingo. I agree with you about The Woman in White. I thought it was a great book, too, but I also felt that it dragged on just a bit.

I loved The Woman in White. Congrats on finishing! What was your favourite book from the challenge?

Lots of contenders but I think Tess of the D'Urbervilles could be number 1.
