So given that I work at a book store it can be assumed that we are all avid readers and love books. Why else would we work at a book store? Well this summer the management and some employees decided to create a Summer Book Bingo, 25 books, 25 categories, age range of 6-8 and above and no book can be used twice. The books I read for this challenge will probably be the basis of my reviews for the summer. Some of these categories are definitely going to be new territory for me as I tend to be a Literary Fiction, Biography and History reader, but I’m up for the challenge. Below are the categories that we need to read and my picks for each one. I have not chosen a book for each category yet, however I will update as I decide on titles. This is what I have for now.
