The Bookworm Challenge discussion

Bookworm BINGO

BINGO is back! This is an optional challenge, but it DOES get added to your annual challenge points.

We've generated a BINGO card for the game. You'll get 5 points added to your reading total for a five in a row or four corner BINGO (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or 4 corners). There is a limit of 2 BINGOs per person. Additionally, you will get 30 points added to your annual book total if you fill the whole card. Since you'll get points for these books, you cannot use them for any of the other challenges or monthly specials.

Stephanie, how is it easiest for you to keep track?

Do you want us to wait until we have a Bingo to post?
Or could we post as we go and just indicate when we have a Bingo completed?

Thanks for asking Connie. I think it's easier for me if you just post when you've got a BINGO and then list the books and their category. Same goes for a blackout.
