Book Bingo 2020

[kingstoken]

I couldn't find a new book bingo group that I liked, and I wasn't happy with the cards I could find online, but I still really wanted to try and do a Book Bingo again this year. Therefore, I created my own card, using one of those online bingo card generators, I chose the squares based on ones from the LiveJournal Book Bingo and other ones I saw online. Feel free to steal if you want to do your own bingo challenge this year.

Consider it stolen! I am with you, comrade! Although reading 25 books in a year is a huge stretch for me.

[kingstoken]

I'm happy you're going to try it, and don't worry if you can't blackout the card, it is more about challenging yourself, and having fun!

[delphi]

Oh, that looks great!

[kingstoken]

I'm so glad you like it!

When stonepicnicking_okapi published this, I thought I'm not going to do another book bingo in 2020, but then I thought, why not? So count me in.

Although I shall include audiobooks, and allow myself two wild cards and two substitute categories (although what they will be I've no idea!)

[kingstoken]

Yeah! Welcome to the fold. I'm so happy more people are going to be doing my book bingo card. And of course you can include audiobooks and wild cards and substitutions, I wouldn't have finished last year's Book Bingo card without them. I don't have a substitution list, but we can probably use the list from last year's LJ Book Bingo, although a few of them are the same as a few of the squares on this years card, but I'm sure we can think of more if we need to.

[smallhobbit]

It might be possible to use some of the categories on last year's main card which aren't on your this year's card.

I'm looking forward to it. (I hope you don't mind, I'm friending you so I can track progress.)

[kingstoken]

That's a good idea, and of course you can friend me.

That looks fantastic! Thank you for putting it together.

Try this ...

allbingo has themes for all kinds of stuff. Mostly it focuses on fanworks, but this might be an interesting variation. Hosting a fest is easy.
