It's my favorite time of the year! Seattle Public Library Book Bingo time! I'm not even going to say that I'm not going to get obsessed because I am obsessed. The day the Bingo cards were released, I was trolling the library site for them before giving up and driving to a branch to find them. I may have been a bit anxious. I spent a good portion of last Friday telling Maggie to watch another tv show while plotting out my bingo books. It was worth it!
Want to join in? First things first, you can grab your Bingo Board on the SPL site or at your local SPL branch. They also have a Summer of Learning for the younger set which launches on June 15th! Molly is excited about the program and can't wait to get started. **EDIT: There is also a Kid's Bingo Board! Get it online!**
I started my reading adventures last week and have already read two books! I'll be posting about my progress on Instagram all summer, using the hashtag #reebeckireads
There are 24 categories on the board and here are my plans (subject to change) for all of them! Well, most of them, I still need a suggestion for recommended by a young person! Also the shorter the better, I need to read 24 books before Labor Day!
