Book Bingo found on LinkedIn

In July, I found another book bingo, and downloaded the card. It was shared by Rebecca Fung from Giulia Ralton, a library and literacy teacher. She explains the purpose behind a book bingo challenge here. Fingers crossed all these links work, and apologies if they don’t.  I’m always interested to see what reading challenges do, and I find the ones that have prompts that are a bit open work the best.

 Out of interest, I filled it in with books I had already read. When I filled the first ten or eleven prompts in, I used books I had already read, and that had filled in similar categories in other challenges. When it came to the others, there were two prompts I had books lined up for – made into a movie and the year I was born, as I had similar prompts in other challenges. I used those to save time on finding a different book each time these prompts came up in different challenges.

This was a fun challenge, and one that I stumbled across whilst looking for something else. I’ve managed to complete or nearly complete several challenges this year amidst a whole lot of other stuff as well.
