HOB's 2025 BINGO: Quarter 1
Individual, Self-Paced Challenge
January 1 - March 31, 2025


We're taking a laid-back approach to BINGO this year! No weekly calls. No complicated rules. Just fun and books you're likely already reading!


Here is your individual thread. Your Quarter 1 BINGO card will be posted on December 31, 2024. Books must be completed between the dates of this quarterly challenge. Start date doesn't matter.


You may track your books in any manner that works for you. It can be as simple as something like this:


📚 📚 ✅ 📚 📚
📚 ✅ 📚 📚 📚
📚 📚 ✅ 📚 ✅
✅ 📚 📚 📚 📚
📚 📚 ✅ 📚 📚


Or, it can be as detailed as a spreadsheet...and anything in between.


When you get a BINGO, create a post that I will be able to clearly understand and follow along with, and link to it in the Completion Thread. You can do vertical lines, horizontal lines, diagonal lines, or go all-in with a blackout BINGO!


Have a question about a task or a specific book? Ask them in the Q&A Thread.


Challenge Rules:
📘 Standard Rules Apply
📘 I will create an individual thread for you prior to the start date.
📘 Your first BINGO Card will be posted on December 31, 2024.
📘 Books must be completed after the card officially begins. For example, if your card begins on 1-1, you can't use a book you completed on 12-31.
