Good luck, Irphen (⁠ʘ⁠ᴗ⁠ʘ⁠✿⁠)

I almost filled the entire Bingo Card this year (except for three) but I didn't manage my buffet at all so this year I'll only go for #13.

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

Have a good year. Enjoy your planning, good luck.

[Irphen]

Thank you!^^

Wow impressif! I must confess i kind of abandonned the Bingo Card, just focussing on this one is already hard enough cause I keep going on with my unplanned random reading mood XD

[Irphen]

COMPLETION OF CHALLENGE 7!! :-)

Well the year is moving on and I'm not really moving fast in my reading progress! XD But I did manage to complete at least one section so far; Challenge 7: Expand your Horizons!

On there I had 1 non-fiction, 1 fiction & spirituality, 1 climate change fiction and 3 fantasy.
I enjoyed all of them but special mention to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!! ;-)

[Wobbley]

Yay, well done completing this challenge! And an extra bonus that you liked all the books. :)

[Sara, Old School Classics]

Congrats on both finishing #7 and exploring some new authors. Your making nice progress on the others as well!

Congratulations! The only author on your list I have read is Frank Baum. It's always fun to learn about new authors this way.
