This is fantastic. Ummmm can we play all 6 cards and see where we get a bingo first?
That might be an even better idea. Suuuure. Do that.
OK!soul is happy with lots of charts to go through and make into nice lines :3
Anything I can do to make your soul happy. :)

I think it might be more fun if you read books for other challenges and then looked for what they might mark off. That's what I intend to do. But you can do whatever you want. :)
