Introducing the Halloween Mini-Challenge: September 1 to October 31, 2021  


Ta-da!

I am so excited, I can barely stand it. Fall is my favorite time of year! This mini-challenge is set up exactly like the last three challenges. Cover your card to be entered into a drawing at the end of the year for a $25 Amazon gift card.

This challenge begins on September 1 at 12:00 a.m. You are free to begin any book for the card this weekend, but it will not count unless you finish it September 1 or after. To those who love to read but are finding it hard to complete your cards, just remember that short stories, children's books, etc. count if they fit the square!

If anyone has a hard time reading the orange squares, please let me know and I will write them out. It looks lighter than it did in my adobe program.

Please post any questions you might have regarding any square and we will answer them.

Free but Halloweeny = Anything with murder, mayhem, mystery, monsters, fall, or just anything that reminds YOU of the season!

Classic Horror = Horror fiction that was published prior to 1990, i.e., Frankenstein, Dracula or anything that has horror elements prior to 1990. Lots of good horror came out in the 70s and 80s.

Introducing the Summer Mini-Challenge: June 21 to August 31.  


Happy Summer! This mini-challenge is set up exactly like the last challenge.😎

This challenge begins on June 21 (the first day of summer here in the States) at 12:00 a.m. You are free to begin any book for the card now, but it will not count unless you finish it June 21 or after. As like the last challenge, those who complete the card will get their name in a drawing to win a gift card at the end of the year. To those who love to read but are finding it hard to complete your cards, just remember that short stories, children's books, etc. count if they fit the square!

Please post any questions you might have regarding any square and we will answer them.

Read a Book with Terrible Reviews Resources: If you are having a hard time finding a book with bad reviews (reviews can be very subjective), any from goodreads worst lists will count. You can find 2020's list HERE!. Another resource can be found here: Bestselling Books with Bad Reviews.

Read a Vacation Destination Book: This can be a nonfiction travel book about a place you've always wanted to visit or can be a fiction book about characters traveling on vacation (traveling on vacation needs to be the main premise of the book). For example I am going to try to read The Getaway Girls by Dee MacDonald.

Read a book you saw a tv/movie character read: [livejournal.com profile] honor_reid found a great resource if you are having trouble finding a book for this square. https://booksareeverywhere.tumblr.com/

Thanks to all who are participating! This has been a fun way for us to do bingo this year.

LJ Book Bingo 2019 - Book Review Two!  
After a long hiatus, I managed to break my reading hiatus and finished my second book (and I've nearly finished my third! Yay!). You can find my review HERE.

While I'm in my early 30s I really enjoyed this childrens'/young adult novel, so if people who enjoy reading these kind of books have any suggestions for good ones, feel free to comment here or at my review post.
