Introducing the 2022 LJ Book Bingo Challenge
Happy New Year!! We have decided to go back to holding a year long Bingo Challenge, but it will be a tad different than a few years ago. Instead of calling individual bingos, we are staying with the challenge of blacking out the card. We think this is easier for everyone involved, especially us. :) Remember you have the entire year to black it out.
justjo2u had the fun challenge idea of reading a book for each letter of the alphabet. We agreed!
Just a few rules:
1. For card aesthetics, Y and Z are together. You will need to read two books, one beginning with a Y and one beginning with a Z to complete the square.
2. Those definite articles/determiners like A, An and The can be used to cover A and T, etc. However, you can also disregard them. For example: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse could be used to cover either T or B, but not both.
3. You are allowed to use a magazine or fanfic ONE time each to cover a square, as long as it starts with the letter you are covering.
4. Audiobooks can be used as many times as you like.
5. You can use up to THREE free squares to help with those pesky letters that may prove difficult.
Questions (Asked and Answered)
Q: Do we just say we're taking part, and then post our bingo cards in our own blogs? But do we need to link here, so that you know what we're doing?
A: Yes, please let us know you are taking part and then post the card in your own blogs. We will do periodic posts here to ask everyone how they are coming along. Then at the end of the year, if you have covered your card, you can either post a link to your blog (if it's viewable to at least one of the moderators (stellar_raven, justjo2u or keli)), or post a list of your books here to be in the running for the gift card.
Q: Do we only count books that we've started this year, or can books in progress be counted if they're below 50% completed/another value before the year started?
A. If you finish the book in 2022, regardless of when you started it and how far along you are, it counts.
Q. Do you allow graphic novels?
A. Yes! Cover the squares with as many as you like.

We know some of these are not going to be easy, but it's a challenge you have a year to accomplish. A prize will be announced later in the year, but it will more than likely be another amazon gift card. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to post below. We will include any questions asked and answered in this main post.
READY, SET... GO!!
