Mind you, I have only managed to read 1 of the called prompts. How does this happen to me?"

LOL, LaurLa. I have read only half (3) of the chosen books, yet I have read an additional 4 not yet chosen!

CONGRATS!

Hmmm. I am assuming we can only make bingo from the weekly draws.

I seem to be in the place where I have a bingo, but that is only because I have already read one of the books that I had planned for this game whose number has not yet been drawn. In my defense, it was read after the game began and was planned for another game. Do I need to replace it?

Still, it was a good break :)"

So glad you had a good break. Everyone is looking forward to a new prompt draw!

Sorry that I have fallen off of adding new participants to the list. I think I have caught it up. Please let me know if you do not find your name in the list.

Noted. I am about to make that same decision regarding MM.

Total October goal is 8 😁"

NICE!

Well, still flagging on my reading. I have 14 to read this month with 11 of those carryover reflecting mainly July, August and September months. I am still reading two that I started in September and will count those for that month.

Rosemary, I am sorry to say that it will be another repeat. Tien, drew the prompts before she left on vacation.
