Starting to think about the 2025 Books Bingo + Questions (literature.cafe)

It’s that time that @[email protected], @[email protected], and I are starting to plan out Bingo for when it relaunches later this year. And we thought that we would reach out to see if we met some of our goals and ask if you had any feedback or suggestions.

While this was initially inspired by the Book Bingo on r/Fantasy, since we are smaller we wanted it to be less genre specific, while still encompassing recreational reading. For those who participated or considered participating, how did we do? Is there a way to improve?

We already have quite a few ideas for squares, but if you have one that you’d be willing to share, please feel free.

We started with the posts that are linked in the weekly book thread and a Storygraph challenge, are there any other resources or opportunities that we missed to make it more accessible?

Any other thoughts are welcome too. Thank you.

When I was doing mid-point, it was annoing that the names on the picture didn't explaint what the field was about, and I had to constantly look up definitions.

That’s a really good point that we have discussed too. Quippy names were fun, but added challenges with the actual process. Thank you.
