Murder by Death

I'm not going to whine about how god-awful I feel - I'm just going to focus on my first bingo!  Woot!  Very excited for this; last year, I was in a dead heat with Linda Hilton over which of us could black out the most squares without ever getting a bingo.  As fun as that was on some level, I wasn't looking forward to it happening again, so hurdle jumped.

Squares are greyed out until they're called.  

Called squares will be full-strength.

Read but not called squares will be greyed out below.

Called and read will have a marker on it and the marker will 'disappear' from the picture below.  

My markers this year are pieces of a full image, seen here:

As squares are called, pieces of the picture will disappear, as they reappear on the card; as one picture disintegrates, another will emerge.  :)

My loose plan for the squares is as follows.  I'm tracking my actual reads on a spreadsheet, so this list may or may not get updated.
