EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

Welcome to the 2020 BINGO Reading Challenge, a fun way to read around the block and broaden your bookish horizons. This is a year-long challenge that can be played in a variety of ways.

Regular: say BINGO! You’ve read books that fit in the 5 categories presented on the bingo card in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line.
Blackout: BIGNO! Italian Bingo, you’ve read all the categories of books on the card.
Mix it up: BONIG! Use the card as a way to inspire your reading life. Cross out as many categories of books that you’ve read which interest you.

Here is the interactive Bingo card, where you can actually cross out the books when you’ve read them. Keep in mind each time you click the link a new card is generated. So please take a screenshot of yours and paste into your post.

Example post:

1) A color in the title The Green Mile by Stephen King - 2 February
2) An award winner Normal People by Sally Rooney - 10 March



Here is the list of the categories:

1. Set in a different country
2. Author has same initials as you
3. Set in the future
4. A color in the title
5. Has a number in the title
6. Your favorite genre

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you count the same book for several categories or can you use it only once?

No, it can only count for one category, even if it fits many.

How do I paste the picture of the Bingo card into my post?

After clicking on the link, your Bingo card is generated. Here you can either save the picture by right clicking on it, or take a screenshot of it.
Either way, you now need to take the image file (most likely a jpeg) and convert it into a url.
Go onto the website ImageShack and upload your file.
Now copy the url that is produced, e.g. http://imageshack.com/a/img921/9567/C... and go back to your post on this discussion thread.
At the top right hand corner of your post is a sentence: (some html is ok)
If you click this, a dropdown option list appears. You want to copy the one for inserting an image, pasting the url link you generated in the space provided: <*img src="http://imageshack.com/a/img921/9567/C..." width="40" height="100" alt="description"/*>

Monique wrote: "I love this, will definitely try for BINGO at least!

Can you count the same book for several categories or can you use it only once? The one I'm reading now fits four categories."

No, it can only count for one category. I think that is going to be the case for most reads, that they can fit in more than one category.

Rowiey wrote: "when it says recommended by a friend does it have to be recommended by someone here on goodreads or can it be in person?

It can be a friend in person, though this is a great place to ask for a recommendation.

For the number, either is ok.

How fun!
I'm hoping for BIGNO, but I'll settle for BINGO! (The initial one is going to be a challenge!)

I don`t know how to paste bingo card picture here??

Zeljka, hope I can help somewhat.
After clicking on the link, your Bingo card is generated. Here you can either save the picture by right clicking on it, or take a screenshot of it.
Either way, you now need to take the image file (most likely a jpeg) and convert it into a url.
Go onto the website ImageShack and upload your file.
Now copy the url that is produced, e.g. http://imageshack.com/a/img921/9567/C... and go back to your post on this discussion thread.
At the top right hand corner of your post is a sentence: (some html is ok)
If you click this, a dropdown option list appears. You want to copy the one for inserting an image, pasting the url link you generated in the space provided: <*img src="http://imageshack.com/a/img921/9567/C..." width="40" height="100" alt="description"/*>
Does this make sense? If anyone has a better way of doing it, please let me know :)

Yes! It is deliberately open-ended so readers choice award is fine.

Reserving the post :)

I’m in for BIGNO, so I guess the card doesn’t really matter. I’ll add it at some point, when I’m on a more accommodating computer.
I’d like to add that I’ve never heard this referred to as Italian or BIGNO, and though I’m happy to go with it, I find it funny that reading the most options is called Big No.

15/25 (I've done a couple more prompts--like favorite genre and made-into-movie--but I need to figure out which books I want to use.

1. Set in a different country--Death in Berlin by M.M. Kaye / February
2. Author has same initials as you--The Cutting Season by Attica Locke / March

Having trouble creating the URL so for now will just create the post! Hi everyone! I’ll start with BINGO and try for BIGNO if all goes well!

1. Set in a different country: Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell, completed January 6, 2020

So many participants - this is great!

Allegra, I'm imagining saying it like lasagna, a nasally bigno, but you are right, it can be seen as Big No haha :)
Cheryl's right, it's really great to see so many people involved. Happy reading!
