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

Welcome to the 2021 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 neighboring country
2. Re-read a favorite
3. Set in space
4. A book that your favorite fictional character would read
5. Title starts with J, K, Q, X or Z
6. Contains varying timelines
7. Published the decade you were born
8. Originally published in another language
9. Set in a city you’ve always wanted to visit
10. One-worded title
11. Poetry
12. Based on a true story
13. Listen to an audio book
14. Has been on a banned book list
15. A debut
16. Non-fiction
17. Made into a movie
18. Has a food item in title
19. Has a rural setting
20. Short story
21. Recommended by a friend
22. A non-human narrator
23. A genre you rarely read
24. A cover you like
25. An Award winner


----------------------------------------

Frequently Asked Questions

1. 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.

2. 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 IMGbb and upload your file.
Now copy the url that is produced, e.g. http://imgbb.com/a/img921/9567/CEBN7M... 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="https://www.goodreads.com/image..." width="40" height="100" alt="description"/*>

3. Does category 8 - a book originally published in another language - have to have been written in any language or just not English?

The book must have been written in another language from the one you would normally read books in: if you normally read books in French, for example, then it would need to have been written in a different language.

Is the interactive card the same stuff as last year or are there new categories for it? Right now it takes me to 2020 so I wanted to check.

Samantha, thank you so much for pointing this out to me! Let me know if the link works now. There are different categories!

This was fun last year and though I didn't quite get the blackout i did do the mix up.
So I will go for the Black out again!

I don't think their website requires a membership but there are many free image sharing sites out there to use. I used https://imgbb.com/ because you can upload pictures without making an account. If that doesn't work I can recommend you a couple others.

So glad you're joining us! The book must have been written in another language from the one you would normally read books in: if you normally read books in French, for example, then it would need to have been written in a different language. Hope this helps!

This challenge is so much about also knowing the little facts about the books you read. Just realised that 2 more of my reads for the year qualify for the Bingo. This is exciting, already at 3! Can't edit well from the phone, going to post updated list tomorrow!

I'm new to this group and this is the first challenge I'm attempting. I'll participate under the Mix It Up heading, but if I accomplish the Blackout, that will be personally rewarding. (ETA finished dates)
