It will, but I'm prepared with my list of reads. I should be able to get down to <20 on the Megamix board before the challenge of library requests starts to interfere with my plans.

Shazam! You're in cruise control right now.
HomeInMyShoes wrote: "Shazam! You're in cruise control right now."I don't know, those 3 were stressful as they had to be read for a challenge before March... We completed the challenge though, so it was worth it I guess :P
I don't have anything like that. I only get buried in multiple library requests coming in that I worry about not being able to renew every now and then. Or not having anything useful to the challenge to read on hand because I'm waiting for library requests to come in. Haha. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. I should probably request one more book just in case...
Speaking of library, I ordered 4 books to be sent from a different library. Thinking it would take a while I borrowed 3 other ones (in addition to the one I was already reading). The books arrived the next day, so I now have 8 books I need to read...
^Avalanche! I have been known to leave books on the hold shelf until the very last day when things like that happen. :PI requested another book. Fingers crossed.
I thought I would do the same, but decided just to pick them up. All the books I borrowed aren't that popular, so I think I can just extend the time on them if needed :)

Bingo! achieved (genre) - 5 points
Woohoo! I think that's all the Bingos outside of the Megamix for you.
It is :DMegamix is proving to be tricky, i think ive managed to fill a square with every book ive read and still no bingo in sight!
^You're only one away now though and you're got it penciled in so you should be there in no time.
I'm hoping to finish off the bugger. I can almost, but not quite see the light at the end of the tunnel. Although my choices for genres are getting me in trouble. What I'm reading right now for short stories isn't going to quallity. Stupid reviewers. Why do they give such inaccurate information.We'll see. It has more than ten people calling it short stories and I'll decide on that near the end. If I can read the last couple of chapters/stories and not need the rest of the collection for it to make sense than it maybe I'll call it that. Otherwise, it is more episodic in nature than true short stories.
I hate that. Although, I have been considering using "serially published" or something similar as one of my replacement categories. There are lots of good books (old and new) that have been published in episodes.
My Bingo score has LEAPT from 5 to 40 out of 300 ;) I'm still a long way from filling even one board.

You're already 25% done the Megamix board."
Don't worry, I'm still feeling the pressure :P
Besides, I'm pretty sure it will get more tricky as you have less on the board left, so I'm sure there will be a lot of catching up to the ones "in the lead".
