2014 Book Bingo Reading Challenge: Card Covered





Back in February, I completed my first two Bingos for the 2014 Book Bingo Challenge, hosted by Kristilyn from Reading in Winter and Anne from Creativity’s Corner and met my challenge commitment goal. But, as we all know, I'm a glutton for challenges and I knew I'd be making the effort to cover the whole card. With my most recent book review, I filled in the last square on this year's card. If Kristilyn and Anne offer another round in 2015, I'm sure I'll be back for more. Thanks for hosting, ladies!
