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

Click on the card to download (or right click here and save-as).
Mark up the card however you wish to claim the squares.
A few clarifications from the vague descriptions this month. (There is only so much room in those little squares to type!)
- From the Boy’s POV: This would be a romance told from the male point of view. Like Hopeless and Losing Hope. Losing Hope would count, as it’s from Holder’s POV.
- Helper Professional: This would be anyone who “helps” for a living. Police, Fireman, Cook, Housekeeper. Nanny. You get the idea.
- Free is NOT the same as the Free Space. This is a book received for free.
Julie:
I got 22 out of 25. Not too shabby. I did totally fail on Shelf Love this month, though. 🙁

What is Shelf Love again? Trying to get my card filled out.

OH! Never mind! Found your link that Shelf Love is reading something you already had on the TBR shelf. Think I failed on that front. . .

Yes – it’s a challenge we are hosting – where you read books you’ve owned before January 2016. Turns out, it’s pretty challenging with all the new shiny books out there! And great job on your bingo card!

Great job, Rose!
Holy WOW! You two knocked it out of the ballpark last month! That’s fantastic. So I have to ask, are you picking books based on the bingo squares or do the books you read just happen to fit?
I’ll be back in the game this month! 🙂

A little of both. For me I usually get lucky and my books will cover some squares, but sometimes if I really want to do well (like that one month I covered every square) I went out in search of books to read for specific squares (like the cowboy book I read just for that one square). We try to make some generic and easy enough so it should fit many books (like in a series, or family) but others are very specific based on the particular random holidays going on that month (that also sometimes align with the topics in our chat between chapters discussions). Looking forward to seeing your card Brandee!
Oh you do this every month?! THAT’S SUCH A COOL IDEA!! I love it! I’ll have to try and join in sometime. 😀 I love a good bookish reading challenge. 😉
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!

Yes, every month a new card. JOIN US!!! 🙂
I didn’t cover it, or even get a line, but I did do pretty good still. 🙂
