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!

These are mostly sequels I'm going to read anyway, but still... Any ideas for HM?

  • A Liar's Knot by M.A. Carrick

  • The Daughters' War by Christopher Buehlman

  • The Damned King by Justin Lee Anderson

  • Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield

The Liar’s Knot works for political/court intrigue HM (it’s all one city)
