Sara's second attempt at Bingo (2022)

[Sara]

I'm giving this lovely challenge another shot hoping that 2022 is going to be a way better year reading-wise.

Really looking forward to seeing what I can accomplish this time — totally stress-free and just having fun!

Regarding G4: Group Bingo Participant Pick
I'd love to get some suggestions that contemplate:

- non-fiction in the form of epistolary or journals (letter exchanges, diaries, etc.)
- historical or literary fiction with character driven plots

Thank you!

[Lynn, New School Classics]

2. A Simple Heart by Gustave Flaubert
3. an epistolary novel by Honoré de Balzac Letters of Two Brides
