Anyone here participating in this year's r/fantasy book bingo? How's it going if so?

Attached a pic of my card so far. Working my way through Red Sister currently and quite enjoying it, turns out this Mark Lawrence guy is pretty good.

Edit: just realised I said "this year's" bingo when this may in fact be "the last" bingo. Oh well.

Ooohh, there will be a new book (sequel?) by Travis Baldtree who wrote Legends and Lattes called Bookshops and Bonedust? Out in November! First cozy fantasy hipster cafés and now a bookshop? That's too perfect! I enjoyed Legends and Lattes a lot, I love Slice of Life anime so this was perfect, though tbh there was more plot and drama here than in most of of these shows ^__^

Prequel sadly but besides that I'm also quite excited

I didn't know about it until it had started but as I'd already checked a few boxes, I started to pick books to read/listen to that fit the remaining squares (hard mode, usually) though I haven't decided for certain what I'm going to use for some of the squares. Cool graphic, btw!

Thanks! I made it using this. That's the latest of many cards, my choices have changed a lot since bingo started. I think the chaos is part of the fun.

I wasn't on r/fantasy, how's this work? Is it just there is 1 board that everyone reads titles from and marks their own progress down for?

Basically you read a book that you think fits the title of the bingo squares and if you fill the whole card you win.

Edit: looks like the official page is currently viewable https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/128oxqt/official_rfantasy_2023_book_bingo_challenge/

Thanks, that looks like a fun self challenge, I hope this year isn't the last year, even if whoever actually makes it happen migrates off reddit.
