Book Bingo Challenge 2021 Results

On January 3, 2022September 12, 2025 By Jayde HolmesIn Review, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I read a lot of great books in 2021. In total I read 71 books, with a total of about 14,634 pages. This year I was marking off books on a randomly generated book bingo card, and I got three bingos. I almost finished the card, but there were a few easy tiles I missed. …

Book Bingo Review #3

Look at my Book Bingo Card; I managed to sneak a bingo in right at the end. This was a diagonal line, that includes the free square, so I can talk about any book I want. I'm going to use that square to talk about a book I hated, although the four from actual challenges …

Book Bingo Review #2

In my last book bingo reviews, I was optimistic that my next bingo would be coming soon. That did not happen. We're halfway through September and I have just gotten my second bingo. I am quite proud of myself. This is going to be an interesting post, because this row contains two books that I …

I have been itching to make a new book bingo card, and with the year more than half over, it seems like a good time to see if anyone is up for a new reading challenge. I'm doing terrible at my yearly Random Book Bingo Card, but why not start another one? This isn't a …

Book Bingo Review #1

Woo-hoo, I got a bingo. And I got it before the year was half over. So far this year, I've read some really good books. Some absolutely amazing books, and a few meh books. These five reviews are a good cross section of these different tiers, so I'm going to get right into the reviews. …

I fired up my book bingo generator and here is the card I got. I have a year to work on it, and I think this one will be a bit easier than last year. When I originally rolled this card, I ended up getting a few challenges from my last card. I spun the …

Time to look at what I read in 2020, and make some plans for 2021. Let's start with my book bingo challenge. I got three bingos and filled all but five tiles. I enjoyed this challenge a lot, and it led me to seek out a range of books I might not have picked up …

2020 Book Bingo: Bingo #2 Reviews

On July 4, 2020 By Jayde HolmesIn Review1 Comment

I got my second bingo on my card. It helped that two of these books were nominated for Hugos this year, so I had an added incentive to finish this line off quick. The Novelette square overlaps with my previous bingo, so it has already been reviewed. I copypasta'd the review from my last update, …

2020 Book Bingo: Bingo #1 Reviews

On May 8, 2020 By Jayde HolmesIn Review1 Comment

Technically this is my second update on my book bingo, but this is the first time I got a bingo on my card. I think this line got done first just because I never ended up reading any novels on it. I filled this line with two graphic novels, two novelettes, a novella and a …
