#BookBingoBlackout
I learned about this challenge from Tracy’s blog Bitter Tea and Mystery! I too am joining in on Book Bingo at Unruly Reader. This bingo card can work perfectly with my MountTBR2022 challenge. I’m sure I can find some book on my 1300+ books TBR on Kindle.
It is a basic bingo card where you try to get a bingo or go for blackout. There are some explanations of the topics but you can interpret as you see fit.

Free Time wasn’t what I was expecting, a 5 min read? Good luck and have fun with the challenge.

I’m sure you will find many, it will more a case of which one, since so many can be dipped into for 5 minutes, especially poetry or essay collections.

Just started to fill in my BINGO card with “Period” and “Biography”. You and your compatriots have created some interesting catagories that will take me out of my comfort zone…that’s a good thing!
