Communally Sourced Reading Bingo
I'm curious which squares the books will fit that I'll read, and I might use the cards for inspiration when choosing the next book to read.
Here are the cards:
Explanations / Rules / Options:
- You can try to fill out as many cards as you want, just one or all three. You can just go for five-in-a-row BINGO, or try for blackout, or something in-between.
- If you're doing multiple cards, you can use one book to mark off squares on different cards. That is, say you're doing Random and Serious cards, and you read Anansi Boys; you can use it to mark off the "protagonist of color" square on the Serious card and "written by friend of favorite author" on the Random card (if your favorite author is Terry Pratchett), but you couldn't use it to mark off both the "written by friend of favorite author" and "second book in a series" squares on the Random card.
- Crowns mark squares that have an optional challenge mode, with the challenges listed at the bottom (find them using the numbers in parenthesis). If you read a challenge mode book, cross out the square AND the challenge prompt at the bottom.
- I think it doesn't make sense to have a set time period for these, given that some of them are quite challenging. You can try to complete your card(s) in a year, but certainly don't have to.
- URL at the bottom of the cards will bring you back to this master post if you find yourself needing clarifications for prompts or book recs.
