I read the Classic western with O Pioneers! by Willa Cather which I gave 5 stars. I simply loved this book although it didn't end as I would like. This is only the third book by Willa Cather I have read and now I count two as favorites so I obviously need to read more of her works.
I have another bingo with completion of my Group Participant Pick with Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya which was recommended by Brina. I gave it it 4 stars and I thought it was an excellent book so thanks to Brina for the recommendation.My review

One more read for my bingo board. I read The Alienist by Machado de Assis for Classic of the Americas. It is a short novella that I gave 4 stars. My review

Completed B1 Classic of Asia with Love in a Fallen City by Eileen Chang, a short story collection which I rated 3 stars.Only 3 books until I black out my bingo card now.
I have added the Classic Science or Philosophy square with The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois which I gave 4 stars. Here is my review.
