Starred books are done, and are not touchstoned as they are listed below when they are read.

1 A cook's life
Although I have several Australian friends, I have never lived there, so this is a good book for this.

8 Silence

This Japanese novel about an early missionary was excellent.

5 Schneebären lügen nie

Reviewed. What happens when a girl goes out looking for berries and finds a bear instead? (Berries and bears are homonyms in German.)

17 The last Kashmiri rose sorry, but putting this here is a spoiler.

25 Jumping Ships Since I could use this here, reading it wasn't a total loss.

22 Deryni tales
This is fan fiction, stories written to fit into Kurtz's Deryni books.

11 City of Sorcery signs and portents.

23 Die Entschlüsselung des Himmels

This was an interesting read that could have fit in other squares as well. (12, 13)

7 Call the midwife

19 Portuguese irregular verbs

13 Clan of the Cave Bear

BINGO!

12 Sexing the body This describes how scientists have studied gender and how culture and politics have influenced these studies.

According to CK this was first published in 1915.

20 Die Katze des Rabbiners - Sammelband 1

6 Der Bibeljäger

I have several books that I am either reading or about to read that would fit this square. This was the first one I finished.

That gives me another Bingo.

12 Solar was awful, but it was about scientists.

21 This one was very interesting. Ich liebe dich nicht aber ich möchte es mal können by a mother about her autistic son.

10 The scarecrow of Oz

8 Verschollene Städte is a very exciting book about Mayan archaeology, and I could never have read it in Slovakian.

This finishes my fourth Bingo card.
