I think I made pretty good progress this week, finishing three Bingo books, and filling in one column and one row. My Red Eyes Penni frame around the Bingo Card is filling in, with three squares left, one of which I'm working on right now, and the other two will be forthcoming... hopefully.
No Bingo in sight yet, though I was never really aiming for an early Bingo anyway. Still, all I need is to wait for the next square to be called and see if it will be the one I need.
Updated Marked Card:
Called Square: Green Square Border
Read Square: Red Eyes Penni
Called and Read Square: Red Eyes Penni in a Green Box
See also the table below for some spreadsheet goodness.
Reviews pending: Blue Dahlia; Black Rose; The Lotus Palace
