Hi Ruth, welcome and thanks for playing. This is just the sign-up thread...I have created a separate thread for you to record all your bingo info in. It is "Ruth Bingo Card 2020". Thanks and have fun!
Mod
Got you..thanks and have fun!
After almost making it last year in nine months (I joined late and completed all but the A-Author - for author's last name beginns with the first later or my first name) I hope to complete all 12 (full board) this time around.
Interesting. Would like to participate.
Mod
I've got cards made for Brenda and Akshay as well...welcome everyone!
Quick question: For: "Read a book involving ADVANCED WEAPONRY."
What things would apply for that?
Drones, biological weapons, chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, cyber weapons (computer viruses), cyborg/robot/AI, etc?
Thanks! Just wanted to be sure I read something with an advanced enough weapon, :-)
Edit:
For: "Read a book that includes travel to multiple countries."
Does the MC have to be the one literally travel to many countries him/herself?
Or would multiple countries being featured in the plot count (like the reader is "traveling" to them by reading about them, lol)?

You can interpret the clues however you like...just have fun with it!!!
Life happened last year so I did not get to complete a bingo. But, will this year! Sign me up!
Ok I'm confused I see 22 squares so I guess as I pick a square I get an X???
Mod
There are 25 squares, just like a regular bingo card. Read a book that fits the category and get an X on that square. Five in a row is a single bingo...all 25 is a blackout bingo! You have all year to complete.
Would you like to play Jen_Ken?
Yes I would and sign me up; please.... did you know there is another sigma force novel and Pendergast novel this year..... I want to go to a book signing just have too. Is there a section started for meet up book signing???? Now that would be cool....
Mod
I got to go to a James Rollins book signing a few years ago...it was a lot of fun!
Mod
Have Fun!
Where can I get an image of all the squares that I can see. My reading time should now improve as the holidays are over for the most part and the book that I am almost done was the fist introduction of Nora Jones and the quest is out of this world
Mod
Not sure why you can't see all the squares...did you look at the Bingo Card I created for you?
Yes there is nothing in my bingo under my name

I'd like to join, too. I'm aiming for a single bingo line.

Absolutely Art....I just posted your Bingo Card. Have Fun!!!

Mod

Good to know, thanks!
A New Challenge for the New Year!
The Rules are simple...Read books to complete the clues in each bingo square. Complete a line of 5 bingo squares for a small bingo, or complete all 25 squares for the BLACKOUT Bingo!
You have the entire year to complete, so you can read as fast or as slow as you like. Books should fit into our action/adventure genre, but it is up to you to interpret the clues as you see fit.
Please sign up under this thread and I will create a personal Bingo thread for you to record your progress throughout the year. Record the books you read in your thread and I will stamp your bingo card.
Feel free to join in anytime throughout the year...all are welcome to play!
No pressure...just have FUN!!!
*Thank you to the Girls, Guns and Grimoires group for this idea.
