Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

Change of Plans for Bingo Read
I have a lot of ongoing personal book projects that I try to fold into any book challenges or games that I play. When my father passed away earlier this year, one of the ways I wanted to remember him was through the legacy of books and the family love of reading. I have several books on my TBR shelf that are connected to him in some way, as gifts or inheritance or just topics that were dear to him.
The Scarf is from a box of books that belonged to his mother, who apparently belonged to a book club. I planned to use this for the Modern Noir square, but in looking more closely at the genre description, this was written much too early (1947) to be considered "modern" noir. And it really doesn't fit any other squares that I haven't already completed.
So I think I will use The Scarf for my free square, and for Modern Noir I'll do a re-read on Winter's Bone, since I didn't write a review for it when I read it six years ago.
