Summer Book Bingo

June 6, 2018 By Carole

I realized yesterday that I never shared my Bingo card with you!

It’s an excellent card, I must say. (And I won’t be telling you how many times I hit refresh to get it to be this excellent.)

Now. I have actually finished 3 books already but . . . I can’t decide how I want to track and keep my card updated this summer. I actually printed out this picture and I think (but I’m not absolutely sure yet) that I want to put it in my journal as a two page spread with the card on one side and a list of the books I have read for each square on the other. If I number the squares then I can write a list and match the titles up that way. The squares will also have to be colored in or something too . . . but I’m still undecided on that.

Leave it to me to quickly decide on the majority of the books I will be reading . . . and then agonize over how to keep track of them in a pretty and organized way.

    That is quite an excellent card. That dilemma? You crack me up, but I think you’ve settled on an elegant solution. Is there room for any art in that scenario? That would seal it, right?

    Great card! I forgot all about it this year. I was planning to figure it all out Memorial Day weekend and instead I bought a car. I had bought one of the Strickmich journals in January planning to do that and haven’t opened it. I really need to take a few hours this weekend and get it going, once as I start, I will keep it up, it’s just the starting. Can’t wait to read your list of books, my want to read list gets longer after I see what you read.

    Great card! Summer Book Bingo is simply the best thing ever and I am certain you will figure out how you want to fill in your card!

    Great Card Carole!! My first card was excellent! I hit refresh a few times, but nothing as good as the first ever came up – lol

    The last couple of years, that’s how I tracked my bingo-books — in my journal, with a hand-written list. Then I had fun coloring the squares. 🙂

    You do have a good card! The first card I got is the one I’m using, I hit refresh a few times and didn’t get anything better. Have fun reading!

    I may have hit refresh a couple/few times myself! I tend to write a lot of info on the back of my card but am trying to be more efficient this year and here’s a thought…share my progress! 🙂 Great card Carole!

    It never occurred to me that this would be a complex process. Just deciding on the books is enough brain sprain.

    I’m not sure if this is a good or a bad thing … but I’m in the same boat as you! My card is pinned on the fridge and I’ve shelved a few finishes as Summer Bingo 2018 … but that’s it. I would love to keep track of this year’s books in my journal. please keep me posted!

    Your card is fabulous! My dream card, really. I refreshed a bunch to get a card I could live with and I’m happy (but yours is better!). 🙂 Your idea for tracking sounds organized, beautiful, and colorful.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
