A Book Bingo is a take on the popular grid game (usually printed in 5×5 squares on a piece of paper) which is generally played with numbers; here numbers are substituted by names of books.
The idea behind a Book Bingo is to generate a reading list for the year wherein varied genres, authors, languages, etc can be explored in one year and each square gets a unique book prompt/clue.
A bingo board is normally of 5×5 square grid and total comes to 25. I have created a Bingo Board of 36 squares as I have a reading list of 40 books to read this year. (fingers crossed)
So my to be read list has been set in accordance to this board and looks something like this. You could read about my blog post on that here
How about it? Join in me in this reading challenge of mine for 2017 – you can also join my book club on Facebook here : In my good books

Thanks so much Sunaina. Do share your reading list too – would be great to see what others are reading!
40 books in a year…that is almost 3-4 books a month…wow…enriching experience…I don’t know if I can commit to such a large number – there is already so much to read in magazines, web articles, newspapers etc. Kudos that you find the time to read these books as well. Looking forward to reading more such posts as part of UBC.
Here is what I wrote recently. Do take a look and let me know…
