I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
Well, I've done it; I didn't think I would, but I sucked it up and read the science fiction, survived it (relatively) unscathed and have blacked out my Summer Book Bingo card.

Thank you again to Moonlight Reader for the brilliant idea, the time it took to create the Bingo card and the incredible thoughtfulness and generosity of offering prizes. I had so much fun with this and it helped me get through a dreary Melbourne winter. :)
