Lansing Community Library Winter Reading Program Book Bingo

Here’s my adult bingo card so far:

B I N G O

A Book Related to Science Fiction A Book Related to Science An Author Whose Name Starts With a “M” A Dystopian themed Book An Author Whose Name Starts With a “B”
A Fairy/Folk Tale Book A Non-Fiction Book ***

***
Classic Literature A Book About Time Travel
An Audiobook An eBook A Suspense Novel A Book about a President Historical Fiction
A book That Was on Display in the Library A Caldecott Book (Winner or Honor) A Book That Was Made into a Movie A Biography A Book About Kansas

A Green highlight means I’ve already read a book that fits that category (and possibly more than one category).  I’ll figure out where to put them once I finish a couple more books.  To see what I’ve read so far this year (2015), visit my GoodReads book challenge page here.  Or click here to see what I’m currently reading.

A Yellow highlight means I have books I could read right now that fit that spot.

Looks like I need to find a book about a President to read.  Any ideas?

Never before have astronomers been able to see individual stars inside an external spiral galaxy over such a large contiguous area.

The resulting album, “How to load the dishwasher,” is organizational porn at its finest. It might even help settle some debates in your household.

I’m pretty sure the debate will rage on in my home and others.

Posting for my hubby who just happens to be my favorite dishwasher loading task master extraordinaire.
