This year I decided I wanted to take part in the lovely Bookforager‘s book bingo. I’ve been promising myself for the past two years I’d take part and yet my lack of organisation and all round tardiness prevented me from doing so – which means I missed two fabulous picture prompt bingo cards – they truly are wonderfully fascinating to look at, I could spend much time just looking at these little pictures. Anyhow. There are sixteen prompts. So I’m aiming to provide a book for a prompt at the end of each month, and also once every quarter I’ll need to cross off another prompt if I’m to complete all sixteen.
So, Here’s the details.
And, here’s the bingo card:
Don’t you just adore that bingo card? It’s positively wicked.
Not to dither, and as I’m already late, here’s my book selection for January:
I’ve chosen the very first prompt. The rather decorative, healed ladies shoe. For this prompt I’ve chosen:
Miss Austen Investigates, the Hapless Milliner by Jessica Bull. This is the start of a very promising series in which Jane Austen investigates mysteries – usually jumping to plenty of wrong conclusions along the way and causing much mayhem.
Now, I believe this fits the prompt because of course Jane, much like her beloved characters loves anything to do with bonnets, ribbons, hats, dresses – and shoes! Is that a bit cheeky. I think it fits the prompt and hopefully I’m not cheating (much).

Finally, as a side challenge to myself i may also go back to the previous two bingo cards and using books read from the appropriate year see if I can fill all sixteen prompts. Why not indeed. It seems to be a worthy challange, I hate to miss and it’s a good way of bringing some attention back to books I’ve read previously – I’ll probably look to do this around the fourth and then eighth month of the year.
If you’re joining in with this fun challenge this year I can’t wait to see what you all come up with.
My thanks to Lady Bookforager for coming up with this wonderful event.

Good luck 😀
It’s such a pretty card, I love seeing if anything I’ve read can fit one of the pictures, even though it seems a shame to cover them up.
I will need all the luck I can get – I’m so disorganised.
Lynn 😀
I love your choice for the first picture. I may take some time this weekend to see if any of the the books I’ve read so far fit the prompts. It is such a fun challenge😁
I thought I’d make my choice at the end of each month – hopefully I’ll have a few reads under my belt and something will fit.
Hope you get a chance to do the same – you’ve been reading up a storm lately.
Lynn 😀
Awww, Lynn! I’m so glad you find this challenge fun, and what a great pick for the shoe! 🙌💖
Thanks – I love your prompts. I think I already have one for this month. woohoo.
