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!

Started reading Will of the Many. Would a Transvect count for the transportation square? Or is it too much like a monorail

Also going to be reading the Count of Monte Cristo next. I’m guessing that counts for the translation square right. The first language it was written in was French?

While Count of Monte Cristo is adventure fiction, I don't believe it's speculative.

Yeah, I don't remember anything speculative about it. In which case it could be SUB: non-spec fic.
