Michelle who is a friend some of you know from ModPo, sent me this Summer Reading Bingo card from Seattle Public Library. Shall we?
Is this it for Summer Reading?

Well, not exactly certain how it works, but hey, I could give it a whirl. As long as I still get to decide what I am reading. Never been much of one for having someone else determine what I am going to read. My pile is big enough already. : )

I’m not much for rules but I think you just try to get to bingo by selecting books based on the genres presented? I think the actual goal is to complete the whole board but again– I haven’t done any research as of this moment (probably will soon tho if we think this might be a fun variant…)

This is a fun idea to push me into categories I might not consciously seek out on my own. I love our blog; it definitely keeps me from getting stuck in a reading rut in so many different ways. Perhaps we could each report if/when we get a BINGO. I know we all have too many books to read, but if you are interested in possible selections for each BINGO category, I found this site: https://www.spl.org/programs-and-services/learning/summer-of-learning/2021-adult-book-bingo/en-bingo-resources. The Bingo project is the combined effort of Seattle Arts and Lectures and The Seattle Public Library. I explored the archives of SAL which contain some great conversations. I know we won’t be bored this summer! I hope we can all read and relax!

Thanks for the leg work B! I think the bingo card is a welcome variant on the 10 books in 10 weeks — I’ll be excited to see how folks make out with summer reading 🙂

Hello readers…so glad to be a part of this. I have been doing Seattle library Book Bingo since 2015. The categories focus my reading, but I have lots of choices within each category. And the link that Barbara shared includes lots of suggestions for each category. I also find it valuable to talk to other readers about their choices. This always stretches me.

We started this blog in 2015 with a summer reading challenge — 10 books in 10 weeks. The first time I did this was in 2013 when I was invited by a friend to follow a specific itinerary of 10 books (one had to be over 500 pages, rules like that) — a bit more linear than bingo 🙂
I am glad you are here!

MF!! Hello, hello. Very Xcited to see you here. I haven’t been good at wrangling myself these days but if I fall off the Bingo card I’ll just say I’ve gone all ModPo and broken the rules. 🙂

I finished Book Bingo this week. The last was the best “The Overstory” by Richard Powers. If only trees ruled the world.
Looking forward to meeting you soon.
