Mod post: 2018 bingo game - Categories thus far  
Thought I'd give a quick update on the categories that have been suggested for next year's game so far. We have 20, and would still need four more to fill a bingo card. So, if you haven't yet made any suggestions, or would like to make more suggestions, please stop by this post and comment.

*Note: The suggestions I made for next year include some categories on this year's card. I did that 1) because I liked those categories, and 2) I want to make sure we have enough to fill a card.

The list thus far

non-ficton
journal/periodic publication
biography/autobiography
script/screenplay
true crime
poetry/play (I combined those two)
horror
a classic
a mystery
fantasy/sci-fi/paranormal/urban fantasy
comic/graphic novel
published before you were born
published the year you were born (from [livejournal.com profile] keli)
blind book
one word title
favorite re-read
diverse reads
out of your comfort zone
number or color in the title (combined thos two also)
an animal on the cover

Awesome stuff.

I was going to put "published the year you were born" but for some reason it came out as "published before you were born". That's a pretty wide seat and takes in classics and so many other categories. Keli's suggestion (which was my intended suggestion too) is much better! (You can get a list of the bestsellers from any given year at Goodreads)

Okie dokie. I will remove that one from the final list, then. I'm going to try to have a post set up for voting over the weekend, hopefully.

Thanks Jenn for taking this and running with it. Life has been chaotic for me so I am grateful you are putting all this effort forward to keep it going!

Not a problem at all! I don't mind taking on more of the posting and stuff as long as I still have you to discuss things with!
