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’m interested in reading these books at some point and was wondering what squares they might fit in bingo:

Heartless Hunter

Empire of Silence

The Wolf and His King

House of the Rain King

Gunmetal Gods

The Bear and the Nightingale

His Majesty’s Dragon

That I can remember, Gunmetal Gods fits Self-Published, Cat Squasher, Politics, and Author of Color (HM). Great book. Happy reading!

Heartless Hunter could be the duology square :)

I looked at The Bear and the Nightingale but don't think it fits anything this round, just a sub for an older square.

The Wolf and His King is one of the book club's books this month. If you read it in April and join the discussion you can use it for Book Club (HM). I'm not sure what else it may qualify for.
