Bookworm BINGO

This is an optional challenge, and points will get added to your annual challenge points.

We've generated a BINGO card for the game. You'll get 5 points 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.

You will get 30 points 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.

*Winner's Choice category will be chosen at year end once all the Bookworm points have been tallied and a winner announced!

Hi Turtlefrog! Maybe!
This category is for books about or related to books, so the cover having an image of a book or books on it might not reflect the subject matter.
