Completed Challenge: Bestie’s Book Bingo

Well, it only took me six months to complete this challenge! The one category I had to dig around for was the Celebrity Book Club Pick, partly because I don’t usually follow celebrity book clubs, and partly because there were quite a few other that didn’t appeal to me, so I was glad that I was able to use The Dictionary of Lost Words for this. This was a fun challenge, and I enjoyed taking part.
