Book bingo Seven 2020 Set in a place you dream of visiting (Ireland)

Welcome to my July post for Book Bingo with Theresa  and Amanda. This month, I am checking off a book set in a place that I dream of visiting. For this one, I chose The Good Turn by Dervla McTiernan (released in February this year) which is set in Ireland. I have already been to… Continue reading Book bingo Seven 2020 Set in a place you dream of visiting (Ireland)

Books and Bites Bingo Fairy Tale Collection: Snow White and Rose Red: And Other Tales of Kind Young Women by Kate Forsyth and Lorena Carrington

I’m moving through this challenge a bit slower than I’d like – for several categories I do have the books, I just need to read them. For others, I’m waiting for the right or specific book to arrive. One square I might struggle to fill is the book I keep putting off, as I don’t… Continue reading Books and Bites Bingo Fairy Tale Collection: Snow White and Rose Red: And Other Tales of Kind Young Women by Kate Forsyth and Lorena Carrington

Books and Bites Bingo Book to movie: Nim’s Island by Wendy Orr

My next square is the one for book to movie. For this option, there were many, many options from Harry Potter to Jane Austen, The Book Thief and Northern Lights (The Golden Compass), which is now a television show and will be marking off my book to television category later this year in another challenge.… Continue reading Books and Bites Bingo Book to movie: Nim’s Island by Wendy Orr

Book Bingo Five 2020 – Coming of Age

May, and round five of 2020 book bingo with Amanda and Theresa! Many of the posts have been from books I have read in January and earlier in the year, yet something about checking off the categories during the quieter times of the year is really satisfying, as I know that by checking off the… Continue reading Book Bingo Five 2020 – Coming of Age

Books and Bites Book Bingo Travel Memoir: The Strangeworlds Travel Agency by L.D. Lapinski

A travel memoir is one area I wasn’t sure what I would find – but as with all my challenges, I have been finding fun and inventive ways to interpret the categories I thought I might struggle with. This time I am marking off my thirteenth square and gaining a BINGO for the first row.… Continue reading Books and Bites Book Bingo Travel Memoir: The Strangeworlds Travel Agency by L.D. Lapinski

Books and Bites Bingo – Scary: The Monstrous Devices by Damien Love

Choosing a scary book was hard for me – I tend not to read much horror fiction that most people would classify as scary. So I always knew I would struggle with this square and how I would interpret it. As I move through this bingo, some squares have been open to interpretation, others not… Continue reading Books and Bites Bingo – Scary: The Monstrous Devices by Damien Love

Books and Bites Bingo Written by someone called Jane

Ticking off another square – this time a book written by someone called Jane. It might seem a touch obvious to go with Jane Austen – which I did. But in a pinch, it worked, and as I am working on getting some discussion around Jane Austen’s books in a reading group. And Persuasion was… Continue reading Books and Bites Bingo Written by someone called Jane
