Not sure if I will be able to get to every single one of these books, but I will try my best!!!

Good luck Hermione!

Wish you good luck!

You are already off to a good start, Hermione. I'm sure you will finish, but mostly hope you enjoy all the reads along the way.

It's never too late to start playing reading Bingo! There are plenty of ways to be a winner. Glad you have decided to join us.

This looks like a great list for your bingo plan!

For a classic involving art (or in this case, involving "the arts"), I recommend The First Violin by Jessie Fothergill. I read it recently, I really enjoyed it, and I was surprised I had never heard of it. I ran across it when I was looking through the group’s favorites of 2022, to fill out I5 for my own bingo challenge. It has a strong theme of music throughout.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement :D

Thank you for the recommendation!!! I will definitely take a look at that:)

No problem! If you're looking for something a bit lighter for the "classic involving art" category, I just finished reading Buried Alive by Arnold Bennett, which I really enjoyed. The main character is a painter.
