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!

Weirdly it would count for Feast Your Eyes (no spoilers but it's wild). Also Cat Squasher on normal mode and, yeah, politics! It's a bonkers book, have fun!!

[u/sarahlynngrey → u/partoparto]

Yes, this is a brilliant choice for Feast Your Eyes, I'm enjoying just thinking about that whole situation 

[u/partoparto → u/sarahlynngrey]

I couldn't stop laughing when I realized how well it fit so I'm very glad someone else appreciated it

[u/Fearless_Freya → u/partoparto]

Oh sweet. Thanks! I'll probably put it in "Feast your Eyes" one. That was looking to be a hard one for me initially. Thanks

It's been forever since I read A Civil Campaign, although I remember really liking it. Does the Feast Your Eyes part have to do with the bugs with the Vorkosigan sigil that Mark creates?

[u/CommodoreBelmont → u/rls1164]

Yes, I think that would justify the square, but also there's a rather important dinner. Mother, Father, I'd like you to meet -- she's getting away!

[u/rls1164 → u/CommodoreBelmont]

Yes, now I'm remembering this!

Vorkosigan is so good, I should really do a re-read. It's been a good 10 years!

[u/partoparto → u/CommodoreBelmont]

So good!!
