It feels a bit funny starting a thread for the month of December more than halfway through the month... But the month is not over. There are still two weeks left to play Bingo.
I have played BingoDOG in my thread in the ROOT group. I have filled another square today, the book about books, with The Book of Sand, by Jorge Luis Borges. It is not so much a book about books as a collection of short stories of which many are centered around books. Notably, the last short story is the one that give its name to the book and it is about a book that contains every possible book...
I have tried to use only books that I owned before January 1, 2017, for the Bingo. I filled 14 squares. Even if I had used new books and library books too, I think I would have filled only two or three more squares. Some of them turned out to be very difficult...
Congratulations to all who filled their entire BingoDOG card!

I read two more Bingo books this month, thus covering my entire card! Piccadilly Jim by P.G. Wodehouse was published in 1917. And I'm using Eva Ibbotson as my "author abroad"...she was born in Austria but emigrated to the UK when she was nine. Her novels are all written in English, and most of them are set in England -- although the book I read for this square, Journey to the River Sea, is actually set mostly in Brazil!

On my fourth attempt, I read a book for the Science Related square on my all female authors BingoDOG card (second BingoDOG card using completely different titles): Sally Ride: America's First Woman in Space by Lynn Sherr. This completes my second card -- something I had not expected to do, and do not plan on doing again. I enjoy the Bingo cards more than the cats; I like reading something when I want to read it.

Only one more square on my Bingo card to be filled. For "set in a beach community/resort" I'm reading Smoke and Mirrors by Elly Griffiths. It's a mystery set in 1950s Brighton, England featuring a group of army buddies who gained a reputation for fooling the enemy with illusion and were known as the magic men. Now two of them are in a Christmas pantomime, the third a policeman. I love Elly Griffiths' books and this one is great.
