I’ve really enjoyed doing book bingo over the last couple of years so couldn’t resist the chance to see whether I’d successfully filled in my bingo card for 2018. As ever, I don’t look at the bingo card during the year I just read what I want to read and then at the end of the year look through my reading to see if I’ve managed a full house.
So without further ado…

Woo hoo! Full House! I wasn’t sure when I started writing this post that I was actually going to have a book read in 2018 for every square but I’ve done it! It’s always fun to play Book Bingo, it’s another way to reflect on the year’s reading.
Have you taken part in Book Bingo for 2018? If you have I’d love to see your posts so please leave links below. 🙂
Bravo! I normally love this, but was too busy to attempt it this year.
Fantastic! I managed to get a full house as well and need to publish my post 😀
Well done Hayley, I really must sort mine out xc
My bingo post will be out tomorrow. Not a full house for me but not too bad. Well done to you!
Wow. What an achievement. I never do these as I’m so afraid of failing!
I’ve always wanted to read Norwegian Wood as well, hopefully this is the year where we both read it. Good luck on the bingo! ❤
Well done! You had a great year of reading, Hayley, and you’ve got such a lovely variety of books here. I’m impressed!
Wonderful job, Hayley! I loved what you said about it being a good way to reflect on the year’s reading. Congrats on your eclectic full house!
Congratulations Hayley. I am going to try a genre bingo this year.
Ahhh so fun! I did a book bingo in December, and it was really great 🙂
Well done on getting a full house. I’ve never done this. I must have a go next time
Good work! 👍
Congrats on the full bingo!
That must have been fun to find out you succeeded! Way to go, Hayley!
