I am reading Murder in the Dark: Short Fictions and Prose Poems by Margaret Atwood which would do for Virago.I have just claimed 10.1 in post 293 for The Drowned World.
I would be happy with 5 across as I want to read for both 10.2 and 20.10 at some time.
If we have enough jumbo points, which looks possible, I like N down or 5 across so we can use our 15 point tasks. The tasks I have lined up with books waiting for me after the group read and the square peg are:-15.5
10.6
10.2 or 20.7 or 20.10
10.7
I will be reading 15 jumbo points, but I don't have any plans for canon points. The combo points definitely look achievable for 2 across or O down. I'm reading a book for 10.6 which could go towards 3 across. Really, I'm happy with any (or all) of them.

I intend to read Shantytown by César Aira who was born in 1949.
I have just rechecked my library catalogue and find that they have A Far Cry from Kensington (I couldn't find it last time I looked) so I can read that for our third group read. I will be going to the library later today to get it and a few others.
I will read The Drowned World for my square peg. I could also read a Margaret Atwood for the Virago part of 10.2. It doesn't look as though we will need it, but I will be reading Venice Is a Fish: A Sensual Guide for 10.6 and that would give us Lost in Translation points.I am also working on my 15 point books. I am part way through one which I could use towards this bingo, however we can only use one that we have already started and I am reading another that would give us 15 jumbo points for a later bingo. Which we use might best be decided further down the track when we see how we are going.
I haven't claimed square peg yet.
