Alright everyone, did you fill out your Bookish Bingo Cards? Share your cards, and link up your posts below!
For a recap, 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!

Alright, link up your completed Bingo cards here:
I lost track there at the end, but I’m proud of myself. I wasn’t stressing about it like I have over challenges in the past. I think this is the year of the “Oh Wells”. 🙂 Hopefully I do better for February!
I like the year of “oh wells”, sometimes you just need to “oh well” 🙂 I didn’t really plan my reading around the card, just figured out which squares I could satisfy with what I read.
This was really fun. Thanks!
Thanks, Carol!
Great job, ladies! It was really fun trying to figure out which books would work for which squares. I’m looking forward to this month! 😀
That is fun, I agree. I might even plan my reading list better now based on the bingo card options.
Two readers for City of Bones this month! That’s great. Julie and I are both watching the new Shadowhunters show on Freeform!
That’s actually the reason I decided to reread City of Bones. I’m enjoying the show. It’s different, but it works.
We agree. Different. But working. I could use more Jace snark, though.

Mine’s posted here. :3
Wasn’t sure about cookbook, but hopefully it was right.
Great work! Don’t forget to add your post to the linky itself.
This was so fun! I’m “officially” tracking my reading progress with three different challenges, and I honestly didn’t think I’d do so well with the bingo card. But was surprised that I was able to mark off 15 squares! Yay me!
Great job Karie! Ooh 3 challenges!
[…] friend of mine has a book blog called Chapter Break, and they are doing a fun Bookish Bingo challenge. I decided to see how I compared to their bingo […]
Wow – you guys rocked this challenge! I didn’t participate this time but maybe next month
You can still join in if you want – think about if any of the books you read in January would fit any of the squares, and mark it up 🙂
I’m sorry. I can’t seem to figure out how to get my Bingo Card in the comments.

17 great job! This text version works fine, or you can upload the image to your blog or a free server and share the link. Whatever works for you 🙂
I actually don’t have a blog, but I’m an avid reader.
Not a problem 🙂 The way you did it is fine, or if you want to show off a marked up card you can upload to something like photobucket and share the link to the image.
