September BingoDOG reads

Hi. Hope that I am not starting a duplicate thread, but I did not find one for this month. So far I have read Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher for the makes you laugh square on my first (main) BingoDOG card, and In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway for the time in title square of my second card.

I've read Ten Days' Wonder by Ellery Queen for a title containing a time word.

I have used Frère d'âme for the marginalised group, it tells of the French colonial soldiers fighting for France in WW1.

I read Picnic at Hanging Rock for the Southern Hemisphere square.

I have read A necessary evil for CAT/KIT square.

And Der große Augenblick for the Southern Hemisphere, written by Brazilian author Clarice Lispector and set in Rio de Janeiro.

Ein königliches Theater is a historical mystery featuring a production of Tosca where Cavaradossi gets shot for real on stage. Lots of funny stuff for opera lovers, so I'm using it for the arts and recreation square.

This month I've read The Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende for the Southern Hemisphere square on my main (first) BingoDOG card and Thee, Hannah by Marguerite de Angeli for the title describes you on my second BingoDOG card. Thee, Hannah is about a young Quaker girl growing up in Philadelphia before the Civil War. Hannah is quite a rebel, not wanting to wear the Quaker dress, and repeatedly getting into trouble. In my early childhood, I rebelled against being a Quaker. Moreover, Hannah had an older sister, Sally, who was sometimes called Sally/Allie. I identified more with Sally who was a good girl. When I went away to a Quaker boarding school for high school, I adopted the nickname Sally Lou (for Allison Louise) influenced by Sally's name in Thee Hannah. I felt Sally was closer to Allison than to Sarah for which it is often a nickname. My name Allison, was often being shortened to Al, which I hated; I needed a nickname.

I've decided to put Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan in the "suggested by a person of another generation" block.
