    I’m struggling on my current book that fits the Red square and it’s the last one I need to complete the color bingo. For the first time ever, I may be quitting a book and writing a review on why I just couldn’t.

      That’s a legitimate review to write.

        Done and posted! I’ve never written this sort of review before, so thanks for the support to just let the book go 🙂

    Question on “The Roaring 20’s” square.
    Winnie the Pooh was written in the 1920 so that would count. But would a book written about the real life bear that became the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh count? The story starts in 1914 and ends in 1926 with the publication of the book.

      Yes, because it’s partly set in the 1920’s

    So exciting. I’m one review away from completing the whole bingo card – just need to find the time to write it. It’s been so much fun to read everyone’s reviews and seeing how they’ve interpreted the squares.

    You’re doing a great job keeping track of everything, Emmalita!

    I should be at 16. I had missed tagging two reviews, The Great Train Robbery and The House in the Cerulean Sea, but I’ve got them tagged now.

      You can also write a review about giving up and letting go of your white whale. That is also a legitimate review.

    I’m at 17 in my count, and I think I have tagged all of them correctly, so I am not sure which one is missing.
    Squares not filled are: The Roaring 20s, Orange, Nostalgia, White Whale, Friendship, Green, Repeat, I Wish
