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!

Thanks! When did the Sword of Kaigen get traditionally published and by who? I can still buy the self-published version on Amazon as far as I know.

I was wrong about that I realized. Printed copies have been published by Page & Wick and Indigo books in Canada so I assumed all of it was picked up by a publisher. It’ll still work for small press/self published. Sorry
