The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

                                ~BINGO While we wait for UNO 2024~

This was our February 2015 mini challenge!

◈ Books with a read date between January 9 - January 25, 2024 count
◈ As a group, get "BINGO" by reading books for five squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to create a line (there are 12 possible lines)
◈ Only one book per square
◈ "Free Space" square means you can read any book
◈ The usual book length rules apply, Books must be more than 160 pages in length and Children's books and Graphic Novels can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 40,000 words using arbookfind.com
◈ Let's see how long it takes us to complete the Bingo square? ;)

Once you have finished a book enter the details into the spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... and also post in this thread! :)
