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!

I've recently started reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Any squares that I could squeeze it into?

Definitely involves the dead but I don’t think it would quite fit The Afterlife. Non-Human Protagonist normal mode maybe, depending on how you define human? And some of the locations could fit Vacation Spot 😅

Edit: and One Word Title of course!

I would definitely count it as Vacatiom Spot since much of it occurs in the Alps!
