Congratulations, Kristīne! It's so exciting to see your bingo card all filled up with checkmarks, and I bet it feels like a big accomplishment to you too. Did you find any unexpected favorites in the genres?

[Kristīne]

Thank you! I enjoyed the Bingo Challenge, it was fun to read from genres I usually avoid, and to my big surprise one of such genres - Historical Fiction - gave me a new favourite, "The Killer Angels".
