This sounds like a great fun although some of those boxes look like they will be hard to fill – good luck!

I can give you ideas if you want to join, easier than it looks, you just need 5 in a row, vertical, diagonal, or the 4 corners plus any other one

I didn’t manage to get bingo in 2015 (and with time running out I don’t think I will) but I had a lot of fun doing this challenge and I can’t wait to do it again in 2016! Merci !

I am looking forward to starting this challenge! I have never done it before and it looks quite complicated, but I am sure I will pick it up as we go along! I am also hoping this will encourage me to start blogging about books too.

Thanks for joining Laura. Tell me, what does look complicated?? I’ll make it clearer for everyone. Right now, it says, “BINGOS may be claimed by completing 5 spaces in a row–horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You may also claim a “Four Corner” BINGO by reading a book for each of the four corners plus 1 more space —any space you wish.”

Do subtitles count? I would like to use The Conversation: The Night Napoleon Changed the World by Jean d’Ormesson for C4 (With Famous French Person In The Title). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17592149-the-conversation
I would to use The Age of Desire by Jennie Fields for E1 (Historical Novel Set In France). It is told through the points of view of two women, one of whom lives in France. Is this okay? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13092691-the-age-of-desire

absolutely, yes to both! The Conversation is very good by the way. Enjoy!
