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

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 Progress Report One – First Bingo
I should be doing this for each bingo line I hit – with the regular book bingo, it is being included in the relevant post. For this one with Monique, I am trying to update as I complete a line. My first BINGO of the sheet is the top lime – which I actually completed… Continue reading Books and Bites Bingo Progress Report One – First Bingo
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

Books and Bites Bingo Has “the girl” in the title: The Girl She Was by Rebecca Freeborn
It’s been a while since I’ve posted something for this book bingo – I have been reading but many of the books I have been reading haven’t managed to fit into many of the squares at the moment, and finally, I found one. I thought I was going to have a few other options for… Continue reading Books and Bites Bingo Has “the girl” in the title: The Girl She Was by Rebecca Freeborn
March 2020 Round Up
March was a strange month – it started out as normal as could be, though we knew about the coronavirus, and then a few weeks into March, everything changed, and by the end of it, they had changed again with strict social distancing rules. Despite this, I got a lot of reading done. My stats… Continue reading March 2020 Round Up
Books and Bites Book Bingo: A Book with a door on the cover: The Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valour by Ally Carter
For my eleventh square, I chose a book with a door on the cover. This was always going to be a challenge, and the book I chose for a book published over 100 years ago – The Secret Garden – would also have been good for this square. However, I realised I had to use… Continue reading Books and Bites Book Bingo: A Book with a door on the cover: The Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valour by Ally Carter
