2014 Book Bingo Reading Challenge Final Results
Even though the year is over, I’m calling it done for the 2014 Book Bingo Reading Challenge. Here is my final scorecard:
Here is what I counted, by column, starting with the left. Any reviews are linked.
Five books from my TBR pile:
The Time Traveler’s Wife , Audrey Niffenegger
Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare , Stephen Greenblatt
The Widow’s War , Sally Gunning
Mr. Timothy , Louis Bayard
My Cousin Rachel , Daphne Du Maurier
Mix It Up:
Non-fiction: Into the Wild , Jon Krakauer
Classic: Agamemnon , Aeschylus
Re-read: The God of Small Things , Arundhati Roy
Free space: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain
Contemporary: This Song Will Save Your Life , Leila Sales
Series:
Two Books: Voyager and Drums of Autumn from the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon
Three Books: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J. K. Rowling
Five Books (actually 7): the entire Chronicles of Narnia— The Magician’s Nephew ; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe ; The Horse and His Boy ; Prince Caspian ; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ; The Silver Chair ; and The Last Battle . For this part of the challenge, I am counting the first five.
Genres:
Fantasy: I count one of the overages from the five books series above, The Silver Chair, C. S. Lewis
Free space: I count the other overage from the series above, The Last Battle, C. S. Lewis
Historical Fiction: Girl in Hyacinth Blue, Susan Vreeland
Mystery: Ghostwalk , Rebecca Stott
Romance: Eleanor & Park , Rainbow Rowell
New Releases:
Two books: Jane Austen’s First Love , Syrie James and Prince Lestat , Anne Rice
As you can see, I achieved Bingo twice with the Mix It Up and Genre columns. I came close with the bottom row. If only I’d read a few more new releases. I also came close with row 2, but I’m not sure how I could have done it given I’d maxed out the TBR boxes. As far as I understand, I would probably have needed to read seven books from my TBR pile to mark it off, and I didn’t do that, for sure. Not too shabby, any way.
