Penguin Random House Bingo: A challenge within a challenge...

Nothing has changed, I'm still sticking to my original goal of completing a "T"and my January reads have got me off to a great start with four squares completed. You can check out my progress here.

However, I'm feeling a bit adventurous...

I am going to challenge myself to cross off the infamous "read a book by an author who shares the same initials as you" square. This one has always been tough for me. No matter what combination of initials I use. Whether it be my maiden name (O.M.), or my married name (O.G.) I can never seem to find an author that matches them. So, I'm tweaking it a bit. Rather than Googling my face off to find a book to read, I'm going to instead, count this square complete once I read my three Drop Caps with the letters representing the letters O, M and G. In other words, I'll be reading Butterfield 8 by John O'Hara, Moby Dick by Herman Melville (for the record, this book also scares me so I'll be crossing off that square as well if I manage to finish it) and finally Lord of the Flies by William Golding (Confession: I never actually read this in high school. I opted for Coles Notes version instead and got an A+ on my exam).

How is everyone else doing with their Bingo cards?
