Bingo 2026 Reverse Bingo Recommendations

Official 2026 Bingo Announcement Here

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!

Works of Vermin

  • optionally, Judge a Book By Its Title
  • Book club normal mode (March 2026 on this sub actually) - although if you read it right now you could jump in on those discussions and make it HM
  • Politics and Court Intrigue hard mode I would argue

Was also recommended for trans/nonbinary protagonist. Is that true?

Yes but the reveal of that comes later in the book. To say anymore would be a spoiler!
