Our reading time is too precious. <br /><br />Your choice for Highbrow (The Remains of the Day) captures the essence of that category in so many ways -- what a perfect match. <br /><br />I hope the 2018 Book Bingo card brings reading fun once again!Unruly Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497236563247359759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-38964982577089033342017-11-14T16:30:51.499-08:002017-11-14T16:30:51.499-08:00I LOVED The Land of Green Plums!

My dad and I read her book The Appointment earlier this year; he's Romanian and we're both trying to read some more Romanian authors.

In my idea, it is not something you should finish at every cost. So if you cannot fill in the other categories, it is a good time to stop!<br /><br />Kind regards, Bettina Grissenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024188013121464014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-67348480081983086212017-11-04T12:10:07.782-07:002017-11-04T12:10:07.782-07:00Thanks, Jenny! :)Thanks, Jenny! :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-66651148716929776712017-11-04T12:09:56.535-07:002017-11-04T12:09:56.535-07:00That is the fun of challenges (most of which I nev...That is the fun of challenges (most of which I never quite complete either).
