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.
Don’t forget about your bonus points! This month is: Exercise or Diet includes a training montage!

That darn shelf love will forever plague me! But maybe when I get caught up on all my review copies I can make myself focus on reading books I own. Otherwise can’t complain about a total of 25 including the Bonus 🙂
Books I read (and what they counted for, if anything):
- Let Sleeping Gods Lie (The Chronicles of Corbin Pierce Book 1): Not finished previous month (year), Meant to read in 2025, Free Book,
- The Bookbinder’s Secret: A Novel: Spy/Secrets, Audiobook, Not in a Series,

Lynn:
I’m not really sure how I didn’t read any free books this month. But no shock on that physical book square. I also have 23 squares and the bonus square for a total of 24.
Here are the books I read:
The Blonde Who Came In From The Cold: Spy\Secrets, Audio book, Library book, New start \ starting over, Siblings
Ascended: One word title, Gods\Demi Gods, New year new series, Ebook, Vengeance, Deadly trials, Special abilities, Simple book cover design, Long >500 pages, Not finished previous month, book club read, Exercise/Diet BONUS

I got all but the one word title, and I guess I did kind of get the bonus, as Just for the Cameras had her working with the football team and training in her own way! Already started on the February bingo!
