Hi Bev,
ReplyDeleteHere is my list for the Golden Age Bingo. I have managed to complete lines one and five. Despite the arrival of a baby girl in February that thwarted my thirty book target i am pleased with what i have completed and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge as well as the fact that it had got me back into good reading habits. Thanks once again and happy new year to you. Regards Clint.
