Edwardian Bingo Challenge; The Edwardian Era is 1901-1910 officially, or, unofficially 1901-1914
Hosted by Becky's Book Reviews
Duration: November 2015 - December 2016
Goal: Get one bingo on the card; you can get more if you like
Sign up by leaving a comment! Also, would you be interested in occasional read-a-longs? Let me know when you sign up. 

The 16 categories:
a British author, a non-British author, a book that you wish had been made into a movie, reread of your choice, a male author, a female author, a book that has been made into a movie, a movie set during the Edwardian era, a book under 180 pages, any book published 1901-1910, nonfiction book about Edwardian Era, an "orphan" book, a book over 300 pages, any book published 1910-1914, fiction book set during the Edwardian era, a fantasy novel.

The rules:
  • Fiction or nonfiction.
  • Books, e-books, audio books all are fine.
  • Books and movies can be reviewed together or separately.
  • You can create a reading list if you want, but it's not a requirement
  • If you do make a list, consider adding a list of five books you'd recommend to others
  • If possible try to try a new-to-you author! I know it can be really tempting to stick with familiar favorites.
  • Children's books published during these years should not be forgotten!
  • Rereads are definitely allowed if you have favorites!
  • A blog is not required, a review is not required, but, if you don't review please consider sharing what you read in a comment with one or two sentences of 'reaction' or 'response.'
  • for the 2016 challenge, any qualifying book FINISHED November 2015 through December 2016 counts. OR any qualifying book REVIEWED November 2015 through December 2016 counts.

Hi again. To my surprise and delight, I'm currently 2 short of a complete card, and I expect to fill in the "movie set in the Edwardian era" as part of my traditional New Year's moviethon. I'm not attempting to choose a book I wish would be made into a movie but have
substituted a collection of poems for G3. Elizabeth
