Count me in......How do i make the bingo board?
Mod
I make mine in word on the computer. I can post that template in the group photos if everyone wants to use it.
You'll still have to edit it on your own as you read though. And if anyone needs help with that I can do it.
Here is the link I put the photo in the group so you can attach it to your post - http://d.gr-assets.com/photos/1361320...
If anyone needs help with learning how to post photos too just ask.

You see above the comment box where it says (Some html is ok)?
Click that and one of the things it shows you is images. Copy and paste that and then copy the link to the image you want and place it into the HTML like it shows. You can play with the size but I never do. I usually just erase the size part.

This sounds fun. I'm in!Although I don't think I'm going to make fill my card. I don't think I have any books that I've owned and not read for over 5 years. I'm constantly re-reading favorite bits and pieces from my collection. Hey Heather, I have a question. I have a book that I owned when I was a kid that I lost, and couldn't remember the name or title of but I looked for it for the past oh I don't know 10 years or so that I recently FOUND (woohoo!!) that I haven't read yet. Can that count?

Although I don't think I'm going to make fill my card. I don't think I have any books that I've owned and not read for over 5 years. I'm constantly re-reading favorite bits..."
Hey,
Yes that would definitely count.
And I think there will be some people who will have trouble finding a book that they've owned that long. I thin I might adjust it a little so that it can also be a book you've been meaning to read for at least that long but don't have to own.
Thank you for bring that to my attention :)
Mod
I've made a few edits to the list based on things that people have brought to my attention. Most are minor but you should still check the list out again.

I think with the blocks of four we are going to limit it to one since once people have a lot on their card it'll be a lot overlapping.
Unless we did the 4 corner squares

Here is a fun challenge for you all to try out. I’m sure everyone has played Bingo before or at least knows what it is. So this is going to be a spinoff of that.
