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: Travel or Journey NOT by car or plane! (Boat? Horse? Spaceship? All good!)
