Please thank Kasia for the amazing Bingo Card. :)

Link just takes me to the books I have read

I am unable to view the whole bingo card? Am I the only one?

I can’t view it either and link brought me to my book challendge that I read

Kasia, this card is amazing!!! My Spot:
--VAMPIRES: SO THIRSTY, Rachel Harrison
--BUCKETS OF BLOOD THE EXORCIST'S HOUSE: GENESIS, Nick Roberts
--CLASSIC HORROR STORY: THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW and Other Tales, Washington Irving

--WITCHES: SO WITCHES WE BECAME, Jill Baguchinsky
--CREATURE FEATURE: ATTACK ON SASQUATCH VALLEY, Jason White

--

So, for anyone having problems viewing the card, are you using the GoodReads app or website? Can you see the card on the "imgur" (https://i.imgur.com/UzXNMNH.jpeg) link?
'Cause the app can make things a bit hinky... other than that, I don't know what to tell you.

If having issues, see if clicking this link works:

It can be accessed if you go thru the website, not the app

I can’t click on the link

Saved the Bingo image to my phone! Happy reading! 👻🎃🖤

The GR app sucks.
I am digging this challenge and the super cool card!

OH this will be fun

I think this is the best part of the challenge. When I'm digging through all the books I have on my tbr I always find a forgotten few that I want to read NOW.

dear gods i hope intent counts 😁

general opinion question: do you think it counts for “character has magic powers” if they are inherently a magical being (eg fae/werewolf/demon/etc)?
