Well, Bev, I am just about pea green with ENVY! I may be picking your brain (or pinching from your list) for next year! ;)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! What an accomplishment! U ROCK!!! :O)
Thanks, Lu Ann! Pinch whatever you need from my list for 2015. :-)
ReplyDeleteSuper fantastic! Are you the first to cover both cards? I know there are at least two others who have covered the Golden Bingo card. Any more than that?
ReplyDeleteMy Golden card will be covered in two week's time. But I'm fairly certain I'll not be able to do the same for the Silver card. I read too many new books this year, most of them all well over 300 pages. One was a whopping 600+ pages and took me almost ten days to get through. Could've read five Golden Age or Silver Age books in that time! Ah well...
John: I haven't heard from anyone that they've covered both yet. I know of one who has covered a single card...I'm wondering who the two are you know.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly impressive! I just finished my one Gold bingo and was very excited. Until now.
ReplyDeleteI am going to bookmark this list for future inspiration!
