Book Bingo Badge and Brainstorming

[kingstoken]

First of all, congratulations to everyone who completed their book bingo card! And to those who haven't, but are close, I know you can do it! Don't forget you have two substitutions and two wild cards you can use. For everyone who has, or will complete, their 2021 book bingo cards I present to you the 2021 Book Bingo badge. You may share it, put on your profiles, or just look at it lovingly.



I also thought this might be a good time to start some brainstorming for next year, and not leave it to the last minute like last year (which was totally my fault). I would once again like a "sci-fi/fantasy" and a "graphic novel" square, but I am flexible. This was last year's book bingo card and substitution list for reference.

List so far (we need 24, plus one free space):
*Sci-fi/Fantasy
*Graphic novel
*Crime/Mystery
*Author you've not read before
*Audiobook/ebook
*POC Author
*Recommended
*Seasonal Read (spring/summer/autumn/winter)
*Non-western Setting
*Translated Book

Thank you for the badge and for hosting the challenge. I don't have any improvements on last year's bingo board. It worked well for me.📘📗📙

You're welcome. Good to know that last year's board was a winner.

Definitely thank you for hosting and for the badge.

Things I would particularly like:
*Crime/Mystery
*Author you've not read before
*Audiobook/ebook
*POC Author
*Recommended

And maybe new categories (not sure of the exact wording)
*Book read in season - so a book set in the summer, read in the summer
*Book set in Asia/Africa/South America (ie not Europe or North America) whether Australia/New Zealand is included I don't know
*Book originally not written in English, either in the original language or in translation

Those are some great ideas. I've have to think of how to phase the new ones so they could fit on a square.

Your wording is great and I'm glad you liked the suggestions. I hoped by giving a longer description you would understand what I was thinking.
