Okay, so I've basically forgotten about all the reading challenges I enthusiastically signed up for at the beginning of the year (except for the Goodreads challenge, but let's face it, that pretty much takes care of itself as long as you track what you're reading on Goodreads). But my friend Julianne who blogs over at the brilliant Outlandish Lit told me about Books On the Nightstand's Bingo and, well, I was seduced by its charms.
First of all, it's bingo. I love bookish bingo. But that's not all - you get your own card! As in, there are multiple cards, and you can download yours by going to this link. The challenge runs from May 25 to September 7, so there's still some time to get in on the awesome!
Above you can see my card, much of which I'm very excited to check off. Here's my progress so far:
