Readings Book Bingo

I wasn’t going to add anymore challenges this year, but the Readings Book Bingo looked fun, and I thought why not. I was able to fill in some categories already with what I have read so far this year – so ten out of twenty-five filled, to relieve some stress as I go through my reading for 2025. There are some I need to do a bit of research for, but it is possible I have something for most categories already, and these ones will also tick off other challenge categories I need to complete within the next nine months, alongside my review and literary judging reading, which I have been including for some prompts because some just fit in so nicely.
