My Halloween Bingo 2017 Summary Page
My reading mood always surprises me. When I think I'm going to spend some time finishing up The Camelot Caper, then putting some time into The Tokyo Zodiac Murders, I end up listening to all of The Nightmare Charade whilst playing such computer games as 'Plants vs. Zombies' or 'Garden Defense.'
But no matter, I had been expecting The Tokyo Zodiac Murders to be a slow burn of a read--which is surprising considering how easy it is to read, and how quickly others seem to be finishing it. But I did eventually finish The Camelot Caper this first week of Bingo--I'm still trying to find the time to start reading Blue Dahlia for the first called square, 'Ghosts,' but this is proving futile. I think that until I finish The Tokyo Zodiac Murders I'm going to have a hard time moving onto another book, so we'll have to do as much.
Meanwhile, I'm starting a new audio book, Garden of Lies, and wondering what e-book to move onto next as well.
With The Camelot Caper read for the 'Cozy Mystery' square, I have my very first completed Bingo square. Now to figure out how to get my next one.
Updated Marked Card:
This Halloween Bingo card is brought to you by 'Red Eyes Penni,' who will be marking the squares I have already read books for. Squares that have been called will be marked with a green square border. So squares I have completed (read and called) will have a Red Eyes Penni inside a green border.
Each square on my Bingo card are listed in the spreadsheet below, separated into groups of five for each row.
The book titles in the spreadsheet below will link to my review of the book. I will have reviews out for The Camelot Caper and The Nightmare Charade soon, and will update accordingly.
