A Heart in a Body in the World by Deb Caletti is a good one for the running prompt.

I didn’t even think of copying that into my bullet journal! Brilliant idea!

June BINGO! : Down the far left row:

Rainbow Colors: Book of Candlelight (Ellery Adams)
Character Is Running: Plain Speaking (Merle Miller)
Travel: Flight Or Fright (Stephen King, ed.)
Fatherhood: The Tragedy Of Arthur (Arthur Miller)
Non-Fiction: The Social Contract (Jean Jacques Rousseau)

My favorite fit here is “the book about running.” Plain Speaking is about Harry Truman’s “running” for President. : )
