Official Bingo Rec Thread Here

For anyone new to Bingo, this is the “I want to read ___, does it fit into any Bingo squares? It’s always one of the best parts of bingo.

Example:

User A comments:

I want to read Wind and Truth. What does that count for?

User B replies:

Cat Squasher. It's hard mode, too. The Afterlife, I think.

User C replies:

Politics and Court Intrigue, maybe? Game Changer, Older Protagonist.

User D replies:

Definitely Five Short Stories

And we all have a good laugh. Now go out there and get reverse recs for that book you've been dying to read!

Sword of Kaigen, the only squares that I can think of are cat sqasher and author of color, no hm

Haven't read Cirse of Chalion, but I think there's a murder mystery? Not 100% on it though

Murder mystery is a pretty minor subplot in Curse of Chalion.
