Afer much hesitation, I finally decided to make a bingo for 2026 ! But I am making a bingo with all the languages I (don’t) read in. I also decided to only add ‘prompts’ for half of the slots per languages, except for English and German, which I added to the bingo only to get through my long overdue owned TBR list. This year, I was mostly choosing books first, and then trying to fit them in somewhere afterwards, with a couple that didn’t fit anywhere, so I only picked a few of the prompts that I thought would be interesting and that I am sure I will want to complete at some point : I just want some motivation to read more, not necessarily challenge myself to diversify my reading (except across languages).
With a 7x7 bingo, a still relatively slow reading speed in a few of these languages (especially KR), and considering I have no idea what’s in store for me next year, I am not aiming for a blackout… but completing a few bingos (more than in 2025
) would be nice.
Prompts I kept :
- Fantasy (KR, NL, FR)
- SF (KR, NL, FR)
- Published in 2026 (KR, NL, FR)
- Received an award (KR, NL, FR)
- Book club (KR)
- Finish a series (KR)
Altered prompt
- Prettiest book you own → Judged by its cover (get a new book based on how pretty the cover is rather than choosing between books I already own) (KR, NL, FR)
Prompts I added
- Final boss (thanks sua for the idea) (KR)
- Medical setting (KR)
Number of books per languages :
- KR : 24
- NL : 10
- FR : 10
- EN : 3
- DE : 2
