A fun selection of genres to read through! I also like the substitution list. Re: graphic novels...if you aren't substituting out on those I can heartily recommend the graphic manga classics. I have enjoyed Pride & Prejudice, Dracula and The Jungle Book so far and have Macbeth to enjoy x Out of the ones I read so far the last two are the most accurate.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you for that recommendation - I shall see how I get on - and bear it in mind for later in the year.

Go, go, go!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I've read two books, but they would only count for Female Author and Published before 1985, so I was in no hurry, since they will be easy squares to fill.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Oh, when you get a moment (no rush), would you re-send me (again) that LiveJournal page where the person talks about making the bingo square and the covers as markers? With the online program? Or if you remember the name of the online program, let me know. I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. I had it bookmarked on the computer that died.

[smallhobbit]

The program is called BeFunky (www.befunky.com). I think you'll probably remember what to do once you look at it again.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you! Nice icon!

[shadowhive]

Oh nice! Good luck! (I’m not sure I can recommend any for it but I did put a few books in one of my snowflake posts)

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. For the moment, I have my own lists I'm working through, so I shall see what they cover - it's normally later in the year when I try finding books to specifically fill the holes.

[moth2fic]

I did that one year. It was interesting, especially finding books I would not otherwise have found or read. But it did see me spending time on books I didn't really appreciate and not have time to read things I wanted to. So I'm sort of ambivalent about it. Good luck!!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. There are 6 categories where I could potentially have problems but using 2 substitutions and 2 additional free spaces means it will be quite close and I'm almost certain to pick up a couple of things on the way as I come across books I want to try. I managed last year without problem because I use audio books as well.
