Book Bingo Card

I've signed up for ljbookbingo this year, mostly due to encouragement/nagging from clea2011, and pompom waving from fififolle.


Last year I kept a book reading list, which I think I'll do again this year as well, simply because I'm also tracking all the magazines and journals I read, and I suspect I'll also be reading several books that won't fit the bingo card, so I need a separate list for completeness.

Here's my bingo card. I have to admit, I've already spotted several squares that could be filled with books that are already on my to-read list, so that's a win before I've even started!
