Hi Ann! Welcome here and good luck with your first bingo challenge! :-)
I've read The Canterville Ghost and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, both of which I enjoyed a lot :-) Also I plan to read Siddhartha as well this year, so if you are interested we could do a buddy read ;-)

Irphen -- I have never done a buddy read before. Is it like a book club?

Welcome to the games, Ann, and congrats on your first entry.

It turns out that I have already read Alas, Babylon, so I am claiming a Mulligan and changing it to Anatomy of a Murder

I think you could compare it indeed. Youread the book at the same time and discuss about it :-)

C.S. Lewis wrote Sci-fI? I did not know that.

You have a wonderful selection for the year. I loved The Dry and Passing is well worth the read. Enjoy!

finished Passing yesterday.

Hope you enjoyed Passing.

Finished Forget Tomorrow yesterday.

lol. Got a chuckle out of that, Ann. Hope you enjoyed it, if not you can just forget it tomorrow.

finished The Dry over the weekend.

Bingo! On the bottom row. That foreign author requirement about did me in. I tried like three different books before I just powered through The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

Congratulations!
How did you like Grendel?

Well done on your Bingo, Ann!

Congrats on the bingo, Ann. Sorry you had to force a read of Miss Jean. I hate when none of the books I start seem to work for me.

I sort of read it in a rush and probably without giving it the attention it deserved.
