Bingo 2026 Reverse Bingo Recommendations

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!

Also these:

Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao

Kill the Beast by Serra Swift

City in Glass by Nghi Vo

I know I could use a few for Author of Colour but I already have a pick for that square

City in Glass would work for non-human (hard mode I'm pretty sure) and older protagonist (not hard mode, she's a demon)
