Rules - (there's not that many)
01. You can sign up at any point during the year.
02. One square per book. In other words, you'd need to read 25 books to fill in the whole card. Filling the whole card, or even bingo-ing isn't necessary to play.
03. The free space does require a book to be read before it can be marked off, however, absolutely any book can be used for this square.
04. Ways to bingo: across, down, diagonal, and a combination of the four corner squares and the center square.
05. We kept the categories as broad as we could for the most part in order to make choosing books that fit each square as stress free as possible. However, if you need help with any squares, please feel to ask for suggestions. We are happy to help!
06. In order to make it easier for us to keep up with everyone's cards, we ask that you make a master post in your own journals which includes your card and will be updated with a list of the books that you've read and what square you assigned them to. (This is mine.)
07. Please make a comment in this post with a link to your master post.
08. To mark your card, you can use any photo editing software you have, or there are also online options available. For the Halloween Bingo I did at Booklikes, I used PicMonkey. They have both paid and free versions. I used the free editor on my desktop computer's browser. It's pretty easy to use.
09. The full size card can be found here.
10. Prizes! We didn't mention that before, did we? Every three months (or at the end of March, June, September, and December) all participants who have bingoed at least once will be eligible for a drawing of a small bookish prize. Every bingo is eligible for an entry - up to three entries per 3 month period. All drawings will be made using a random number generator. (Further info about how the drawings will work will be posted closer to time of the first drawing.)
11. Any questions? Please feel free to ask!
12. Above all, have fun! The whole point of this is to encourage fun, friendship, reading, and discussion. (We love reading reviews/your thoughts of the books you read.) We absolutely do not want this to be difficult or stressful for anyone.
