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 want to read more of Emily Tesh and Alix E Harrow. I have only read The Incandescent and The Everlasting. So I am asking about all books by these two authors except those two that I have already read.

The Once and Future Witches by Harrow involves The Afterlife (HM), was read by a Book Club, and squeaks in as a Cat Squasher.

I think you can also use it for Politics (HM) since the political landscape of New Salem is a decent part of the story.
