LJ book bingo 2022
Possibly I was having a moment of madness, but I have decided to sign up for ljbookbingo this year. I have no illusions that I will get a blackout, but I think I'm mostly hoping it will encourage me to read more, and to read more widely than just crime novels and popular science non-fiction, which was apparently the theme for last year.
The aim is to read books where the title starts with each letter (not counting 'A' or 'The', although if you want to use something starting with those to fill the A or T square you can). There are three free squares that can be substituted in for letters that you really can't find a book to fill.
