Book BINGO update
My local library, which rates high for coolness, has initiated a summer reading program for adults.
I’m in.
It’s an ocean theme this summer—perfect for beach read opps.
A week into the program and I already have a BINGO! In fact, I was the first patron to turn one in and no one knew what to do with my card.
JUNE BINGO so far:
+ Share BINGO with someone you know (the hubs even checked off a box!)
+ Read for 20 minutes (that’s all?)
I turned in my BINGO and being the first patron to do so there was some confusion as what to do with it.
BUT— my entry is in and in August I will find out if I win a prize.
Onward to fulfilling more BOOK BINGOS!
JULY UPDATE
I have three more BINGOs! I am off to the library to turn in my newest card. To get a blackout I am on the search to check out a book about pirates (does Sir Francis Drake count?), a cookbook (hmm–summer salads?), a graphic novel (looking for a redone classic), and I will need to attend a library program (book sale is coming up!), oh, and borrow an e-magazine (not the same as paper, but I’m game).
How is your summer reading going?

Pretty soon, you’ll be in the Library Hall of Fame.😊
*Writing* a book about pirates should give me an extra space, I think. Right? Because then I’d have Bingo.
Ooh, I’m writing a pirate book, too! My mother was a pirate for a time. I imagine your pirate will be funny.
You mother was a pirate? I think this tidbit requires a bit more detail, Pam.
Indeed she was. She served as a tour guide on The Golden Hinde for a short stint. Some say (the Spanish, mainly) Drake was a pirate. Hence, my mother was a pirate at the amazing age of sixty. She even climbed the rigging! There is a book that needs writing somewhere in that journal of hers. What about your pirate book?
It’s called Pirate and Penguin, and it’s about a dotty pirate who thinks a penguin stowaway is an unusual parrot. Hilarity ensues.
Sounds like a winner. Wait, wasn’t that a Bugs Bunny cartoon episode?
No, silly! In the Bugs cartoon, the dutiful rabbit escorts a penguin safely to the South Pole only to discover that the little fella is really from Hoboken, NJ. Humphey Bogart, direct from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, makes several cameo appearances.
LOL. And how often do you watch this cartoon?
I’m a big Warner Brothers cartoon fan. Can you tell?
