Halloween Bingo 2020: September 8 update

Calls made so far that are on my card:

  

*Note: I’ve removed Psych in favour of Romantic Suspense, as it’s the square I flipped.

I’ve looked at my recent re-reads of the Murder 101 Series and I can use two of them: one for my Cozy Mystery square and one for Murder Most Foul.  Technically I could use all of them, but I’m unwilling to give up my plans for Genre: Mystery and the centre free space.

This means I get to ‘sticker’ two more squares!  Squee!  I think this is the first Halloween Bingo – EVER – that I’ve had most of the squares called right off the bat.  I think I’ll either tackle International Women of Mystery, or the Free Space/Edgar Square next.

How it works:

If I read a square that hasn’t been called yet, a ghost of stickers-yet-to-come will appear; once the square has been called, the sticker will become fully corporeal.  (Alas, this only works in regular browsers, but I’m in too deep to try to do something different now.)  As the squares get ticked off, a fully formed image will appear.  Previously, I posted the finished image, but this year I’m going to leave it a mystery.

Below is the table that will summarise the books I’ve read for each square, and note if I took advantage of one of the Spell Pack cards, and which one.  Book Titles link to my review of the book here.
