Lori's First Ever 2021 BINGO Challenge

[Terry]

I have my copy of The Good Earth and can start that any time, but I was thinking that someone else wanted to join us and might have requested a later month. Do you remember if there was someone else? I could do Look Homeward Angel in October. I will post up something in Buddy Reads about both.

[Lori]

That sounds great. I can start anytime too. Yes, I think Allie and Carolien was reading it and was to join the discussion.

[Terry]

Okay. I just asked Katy to set both up for us. I will be finished soon with the books I am currently reading, so I will plan to start on the Good Earth after those.

[Lori]

That sounds perfect. I’ll do the same!

2 more completed with only 2 left for blackout!

N1 Nobel laureate
I read The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck.
I really enjoyed this and wondered why I put it off for so long.

G3 Nonfiction
I read 1776 by David McCullough.
This one was not for me. I wanted to like it as it was my first McCullough. I think I chose the wrong one to read first.

Congratulations 🎉
And, yes, great titles!

[Lori]

Thanks so much everyone! I have to say that this group and this challenge allowed my reading to go to a new level which I'd never known was possible. My ratings were so high because I had such a high caliber of books to choose from and this group helped with that too. I hope next year is just as good!
