Not really Aniket. I'm mostly making it up as I go along.

Great plan Charbel, looks good!

Thanks Heather :)

Good luck Charbel!

Thanks Dely!

First book for the bingo challenge read (Not sure if I'm supposed to these in order, I don't really play bingo). The square is a book with an LGBT protagonist.

Nope, in BINGO you fill in the squares in any order.

Oh ok great :)

Read the second book of the bingo challenge: Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Matthew Dicks, for a book written in epistolary style.

I had no idea what that even meant! After learning about the style I've found a few possibilities...I think this one is being added...it has great reviews...what did you think?

Absolutely! Though other books qualify more, it's still memoirish. But it's definitely worth a read. Unfortunately, I haven't read my epistolary novels, but a really bad one that comes to mind is Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple; I don't recommend it.

3 Humour Books:

1) I Am America by Stephen Colbert
2)
3)

I read the first major classic: The Sound and the Fury.

I read a book that's been translated.
