[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much!

[shipperslist]

Ohh congrats! I'm woefully behind because life and writing but...still trying to get it done.

[smallhobbit]

There's plenty of time left. This is far quicker than I managed last year, it just worked out that most of the books I read filled a category, which was very pleasing.

CONGRATS!!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

OMG In 5 months!!! Wow! That's amazing.

[smallhobbit]

Yes, I was surprised. I used my two substitute categories, but didn't need any extra Free Spaces, so I was very pleased.

Congratulations! And it's not even June yet!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you! I was surprised at how quickly I completed it - this year's books all worked well for the different categories.

They all look very interesting!

[smallhobbit]

Most of them were. They're all reviewed, briefly in my monthly book posts.

Wow! Congratulations on finishing your Book Bingo! It looks like you have some great choices here, I been meaning to read Murderbot.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I can thoroughly recommend Murderbot, and I'm not a sci-fi reader in general.

Congratulations!!

This looks pretty cool. I did one a couple years ago frum my local library. ( I tried doing “ Book Monopoly “ as well, didn’t get far)

I need to read more- I recently started The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and am not far in.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. Every year kingstoken produces a bingo card which is great fun to complete.

I began reading more during lockdown when I was working from home and could get up later, so could read later at night! Now I'm retired it's even better :)
