Bookforager‘s Picture Prompt book bingo
This month I’m ticking another book off my Picture Prompt bingo card. The picture with the harp. I’m using Winter Lost by Patricia Briggs. This involves the search for a magical item, a lyre – but this item changes and is sometimes referred to as a harp.
PICTURE PROMPT BOOK BINGO 2024 (TEXT VERSION)
| A microscope | A partially unrolled scroll and a pen | ||
| An old Roman coin | A simple crown | ||
| A seashell | |||
| An old camera and tripod | A beehive (with four bees flying around it) | Fluffy cumulonimbus clouds |
So far this year I’ve read a total of 62 books so I’m on track to read my 100 books for a year.
How did you get on during June?

I saw this challenge over on Books Bones and Buffy. Tammy has come up with this idea to try and catch up, during the second half of the year, with some of the books that have passed by unread and are now sitting waiting patiently on the tbr. We all know how easily this happens and once it does those books seem to get forgotten in the relentless pursuit of the new shiny releases. I really like this idea and decided I want to join the challenge. There’s still almost half a year and so if I choose six of the books that I’ve already undertaken to read and put them on my challenge then I’m hoping it will keep me on track.
So, here are the books I’ve chosen, I’ve gone for a combination of books requested from Netgalley, purchases and a couple of books from authors who were gracious enough to offer me the second books in their series:
Two books from authors – with deep apologies for not yet having picked these up:
Two books fairly recently purchased – I am determined to strike a balance between review books and those I buy:
And finally, two Netgalley books that I was really excited to be approved for but kind of lost the plot with my scheduling and simply couldn’t fit them in:
