We are starting a new feature for 2016. Monthly Book Bingo! Play along with us!
Here are the rules:
Each month we will upload a new bingo card. You download the bingo card and mark off squares as you read books each month. At the end of the month, we will post our own bingo cards. Link up your post or post your own bingo card in the comments.
The monthly winner will be the person with the most marked squares. None of that across, diagonal, up and down, corners stuff. Just the number of squares. Be sure to include the books you’ve read for each of the squares. Only books read during the current month count. You may use the same book to fill multiple squares. We’ll announce the winner the following month to allow everyone time to link up their posts.
And to encourage more people than Julie and I to participate, we are going to have a quarterly raffle! So download your January Bookish Bingo card now and get started!
January Bookish Bingo
Click on the card to download (or click here).
Mark up the card however you wish to claim the squares.
Here’s a recap for clarity (with specific dates for example):
Jan 2 – new bingo card available
Jan 30 – Julie and I will post our January completed bingo cards. You can link up your bingo cards in this post
Feb 2 – new bingo card available
Feb 28 – Julie and I will post our February completed bingo cards. You can link up your bingo cards in this post. We will also be posting the January winner of the most squares in this post.
Mar 2 – new bingo card available
Mar 30 – Julie and I will post our March completed bingo cards. You can link up your bingo cards in this post. We will also be posting the February winner of the most squares in the post.

And so on and so forth.

We’re excited, too, Cheryl!
This looks like so much fun! I don’t know how much I’ll be able to participate, but I’m definitely going to try 🙂
Welcome aboard!
Hi there,
Just to clarify… All i need to do is download the card, read books, fill card, and post it here at the end of the month?

You can save and edit in a graphics program to mark off squares or even print and mark up and scan. Then you can do a post sharing your card and link that up to the linky at the end of the month, or just share your progress in the comments at the end of the month.
Are you supposed to read an actual cook book for the cook book square, or a book about cooking or written by a cook, like the book about Ree Drummond?

Well, I think that is open to interpretation so however you want to spin these so they fit what you’re reading works for us. I’m thinking if the character is reading a cook book in the story, that counts.
Thanks!
What a great idea! This sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun, ladies! I’m in! 😀
Bookworm Brandee recently posted…Sunday Post #1 ~ Happy 2016 and a #Giveaway
Thanks, Brandee!
This sounds like fun – although I doubt I’ll ever win due to 1) the # of books I am able to complete each month, and 2) the genres I usually read. I actually have a few books planned for this year that would fulfill some of these categories (or if this was last year, Sookie Stackhouse would help me win!). But, I’ve downloaded it and will play along just to see how good I can do. 😀

Karie, we are doing a raffle, too, and all you need to be included is participate. The more times in the 3 months you participate, the more entries!
This sounds like so much fun! I downloaded the card! 🙂
Jessica @ Strung Out On Books recently posted…Happy New Year!
Thanks, Jessica!
I think I’ll jump on board! I always enjoy BINGOs!
Thanks, Charlie!
I think the book I’m reading now covers at least three of the squares this month…*prints out card*

This looks really fun. It is a great idea. I’ll have to try to remember to do it. That will be the biggest problem for me, remembering to do it.

Totally agree about remembering it being very hard. You can either plan out some reading in advance. OR you can be reminded by our wrap up post and then see how many squares you can fill 🙂
