Alright everyone, did you fill out your Bookish Bingo Cards? Share your cards, and link up your posts below!
Recap of the rules:
Each month we will upload a new bingo card. You download the bingo card and mark off squares as you read books each month. At the end of the month, we will post our own bingo cards. Link up your post or post your own bingo card in the comments.
The monthly winner will be the person with the most marked squares. None of that across, diagonal, up and down, corners stuff. Just the number of squares. Be sure to include the books you’ve read for each of the squares. Only books read during the current month count. You may use the same book to fill multiple squares. We’ll announce the winner the following month to allow everyone time to link up their posts.
And to encourage more people than Julie and I to participate, we are going to have a quarterly raffle!

Great job Kristine. And yes, I used Grasshopper Jungle as an author because the main character is writing the journal/history.
I know I’m always asking questions. . . is editor/writer/author mean one of the characters is one of those? Lynn put that for Grasshopper Jungle — is that ’cause the main boy character kept that journal thing? (it’s been a while since I listened to GJ!)
Kristine Hall recently posted…The Couple Next Door
Either one of the characters is that, or maybe the book talks about someone who is an editor/writer/author. Or maybe the character mentions something that he/she might as well be a writer because of some event. These square topics are open to interpretation 🙂
Meh. :-/
I covered 12 squares.

I think 12 is great, Freda!
Yay, for third quarter! I agree. The last couple of months seemed to have gotten away from me, too. Good job, everyone!
Thanks, Rose!
