I will admit triumph may be a big word to use but given the circumstances and the difficulties (can we call them that?) of the previous couple years I think having most of my card filled in is a triumph. Though looking at the last couple years an almost filled card seems to be as far as I go, I haven’t had a filled card since 2018 but whether officially a win is getting a line or a full card who knows what’s right and what isn’t. My card my rules I think at this point; a win is what I decide it is and to be honest I think I change my own rules every year.
I came close with to a few bingos and managed one which is pretty good. I used to think I should try and plan to read books that fit these boxes but that never works out despite that being the entire point of a Book Bingo. I was, however, once again quite delighted to see how many I managed to fill in without any actual trying on my half. I like that I read books with such wide genres and characters that I could easily have many choices for a lot of these boxes. I’ve listed which books fall under which category below and I’m quite keen to start up the 2022 card and see what different categories I can include. Maybe this year I will do it properly and actively read books that fill the categories.
Did you partake in any book bingos last year? Are you doing one this year? Let me know in the comments.
