>24 Samantha_kathy: I've started compiling a Bingo list too, although I haven't made any final decisions yet. Some squares will be easy to fill in the moment, but I'll definitely need advance planning for some of them! Right now I'm stuck on the autism and natural disaster squares, so I'll be interested to see your thoughts on the books you read for those squares!

I love your set-up, Samantha, and I'll be following along. I see you picked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time for one of your Bingo squares. I read it a few years ago and loved it. Looks like 2015 is going to be a great reading year!

Nice set-up, for the BingoDOG I'm having the same approach. I will try to fill as much square as possible with my own books then library then buy. I'm looking forward your choice for your challenge.

I can almost picture you sitting on the edge of your chair in front of a shelf of books waiting to pounce on them when you decide to start your challenge!
