Hey everyone!

We’re about six months into our first books@lemmy.world Book Bingo challenge. If you didn’t know about it, or if you’ve been debating joining, there’s still plenty of time to participate! You do not need to fill a whole card to complete the challenge: ‘bingo’ is only five squares in a line.

If you’re already working on bingo, how’s it going so far? Doing any fun challenges? Having trouble with any squares or rules? Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated!

We’ll be doing another post in a few months for 2025 bingo suggestions, and a turn-in post at the beginning of April.

On behalf of myself, Dresden, and JaymesRS, thank you for being here, and happy reading!

    Thanks for the post (and for all your work on Book Bingo) @misericordiae@literature.cafe !

    I have completed about 9 squares (4 hard mode!), and 10th will be done soon. That’s my next planned book. No bingo yet though, but there’s still plenty of time. Have also done one alternate tile, so can just swap it with some uncompleted one if I get stuck.

    One question: For 1E: It takes two, can other author be illustrator? Or they have to be the “author”?

      Good question! I don’t think we were looking at the square from that perspective. Probably something for @JaymesRS@literature.cafe to weigh in on, honestly. Personally, I don’t think stretching the square to include illustrators is a problem, especially if the illustrations add to the experience significantly and/or in collaboration with the text. Graphic novels and picture books would be the obvious yeses from that perspective, but whatever you think qualifies would also be good with me.
