2026 Book Bingo midpoint! (literature.cafe)

Hey everyone, we’re now halfway through our third annual community book bingo challenge!

What is book bingo, you ask? Basically, read something for each of five squares in a line on this year’s card, and you’re done! (That's five works total, or more if you want to.) You don’t even have read books: any type or length of literary work, including comics, audiobooks, poems, short-form nonfiction, etc., will do.

There’s still plenty of time (six whole months, in fact). Plus, anything you’ve read since May is eligible, so if you haven’t joined in yet, you may have already made progress by accident! If you'd like help finding bingo reads, the community is always happy to offer recommendations based on what you enjoy; alternatively, check out the challenge on Storygraph for hundreds of (mostly fiction) suggestions.

If you’re already working on bingo, how’s it going so far? (This is also the perfect time to give constructive feedback we can incorporate into next year’s challenge.)

The last day of bingo is April 30th! A turn-in post will go up in the latter half of April. Even if you don’t end up finishing the challenge, we’d love to hear that you gave it a shot!

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

Awesome!

Btw, I'm sure either of your supplemental material choices is fine; if you think they count, then that's good enough for us.

Yeah, I remember seeing that there's no bingo police, it's just kinda whatever. So I'm not sweating it! Just glad I have the extra bit of motivation to read.
