Bingo Challenge

Virginie has no willpower and cave in too [COMPLETED]
Mod
I started to look through my TBR list and match books with categories, it's quite fun!I'm trying to not use a book for two challenges (in this group). I only have the Incomplete series (so far....) so I'm limited to #1 in series and standalones. Categories 6 and 24 are, of course, exceptions.
Welcome aboard don't worry about competition my progress with this is snail speed so you have plenty of one to catch up

I recommend you start there. I didn't realize White Sand prose was so big. I guess books just fly by when you're enjoying them :-P I still need to pick a book for the written by someone under 25 category. That one's proving the hardest for me. I need a list of books to choose from.

was written by a girl when she was just 18. I just learned that watching The Great American Read on PBS. I've never read the book but I've seen the movie. It starred all the young, male heart-throbs of the day.

This is a great excuse to finally pick it up and read it. The movie has been on my to watch list for years, too ;-)

I'll try to fit it into my June reads (ha!).

That's the plan :)
I'm quite excited about this. I hated the White Sand graphic novels so I'm thrilled there's an alternate way of getting the story!
More Cosmere woohooo!
I had difficulties finding the book by an author under 25 as well. I saw someone use Children of Blood and Bone. I probably wouldn't have read it but hey! still better than Eragon :p
Anything is better than Eragon. I read that one a few years ago. It was so cliche and vanilla. Such a boring book.

Finished Children of Blood and Bone for the "author under 25" category, giving me another BINGO!Only one category left: a book over 800 pages
Yeah! And with a Sanderson, no less :)
Saving the best for last is always a good plan.
