Reading Bingo - Update 2017

Now that I've been here on DW a few days ago, I realized it was time to update my Reading Bingo cards. I didn't have time to read a lot during the last months, but a few of the books do fit some of the squares.

I also have decided to rename the "2015/16 Reading Bingo" into "timeless Reading Bingo" because I think it would be sad to end it, but it will also take ages to fill my squares.

I'm only adding books that fill a square, which means that I have read some (a few) more than the following:

"The Girl On The Train" by Paula Hawkins. I bought the book when it was on every shelf in every London bookstore, but only read it this year. Read it during one afternoon and found it entertaining. In the end I didn't like it too much. Haven't seen the movie yet, so I cannot compare those.
The book fills the square "rec from friend or media" on my serious-card because I bought it for the advertising it being a bestseller.

"Two Boys Kissing" by David Leviathan was a lovely book which made me very emotional at times, maybe not always for the same reasons the author intended. Oh well.
It fits the square "book with a queer author / protagonist" on my mix-and-match card.
It also fits into "book with more than two protagonists" on my random card - I guess one line filled is BINGO! Of course I'll only stop when every square is full.
And at last it fits a square of my serious card: "book with a trans* protagonist"

Next up some comics/graphic novels: A re-read of the first three "The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys" volumes and after that, the first reading of the other ones. I also read "The Umbrella Academy, Vol. 1: the Apocalypse Suite" - all written by Gerard Way. Next comic I read was "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina".
Bingo card mix-and-match: "Graphic Novel"
Bingo card random: "Graphic Novel"
Bingo card serious: "Graphic Novel"

"How Not To Be A Boy" by Robert Webb. I must admit I don't know Robert Webb at all and only read the book because everyone I know online read it and loved it. I liked it, it moved me and I laughed, but it would have helped to love it more if I knew the guy and his work.
It does fit into a square of my mix-and-match card: "book written by someone famous other than writing" and I crossed our the square "rec from friend or media" on my random card.

"Maria Sibylla Merian. Reise nach Surinam" by Kathrin Schubert was given my as a Christmas present by my parents. It's a documentary about a German woman who was a copper-engraver, publisher and painter/artist and who, after her divorce, followed her passion for nature, especially caterpillars and butterflies, by travelling to Surinam to search for and document insect lives in the exotic country. She did this in 1699, on her own, accompanied by her daughter. When she returned, she published a book about her findings featuring beautiful illustrations and descriptions.
Her life and work is very interesting. Here's the Wikipedia-article with some of her pictures: Maria Sibylla Merian
This book fits into the following Bingo-squares:
Bingo card mix-and-match: "book given to you as a gift"
Bingo card random: "book set on a continent you've never been to"
Bingo card serious: "non-fiction book"
