2024 Bingo Reading Challenge ☑️

I totally had missed that, thank you!

The link is personal. So, you can create a “central” link and everyone gets their own card, I think. But this particular link was my test card. :smiling_face:

I also just chose some colours I like, but it might not be for everyone. :sweat_smile:

You also get a card ID on the bottom corner, that verifies you haven’t manipulated the order to the one who created the bingo.

Clicking gives you the link to the specific card:

I tried the new button, which gave me

Is it fine to keep it, or are we going to make cards at the start time?

Edit: I can probably do the right most column with a single book by finding something not on natively with a horrible cover and reading it in a single day. :joy:

WAIT, read for free, new author to me, book club and bad (yet amazing :horse_racing:) cover all fit 痴人の愛! (Assuming the book finishes after January)

EDIT: my modifier is to try to fill as many squares at once (so I can count multiple things). At the same time, I cannot use a book if it doesn’t match at least 3 squares (but those square may have been used already). Finally, I need to get a bingo with a single book, otherwise NO bingo counts.

You can keep it since you made it already, but no starting early! :eyes::face_with_hand_over_mouth:

bad cover ― ●合本版●S級剣士バルテラの弱点―異世界最強とうたわれた剣士は今日も前かがみ―
I found one and I hate it

from your TBR using a qualifier ― will adjust according to what I want to finish, I have so many TBR that I’m not worried about this, I will always have SOMETHING that fits

Finish a series ― will see what I read and what gets “completed” during the year
as of now some options from what I have/currently read: ブラックジャック/ヴォイニッチホテルー/ハピネス/図書室の怪談/最遊記RELOAD/最遊記外伝/金色のガッシュ!!/うしおととら/私立荒磯高等学校生徒会執行部/さんかれあ/未来日記/ブラッドラッド

New to you author ー にわにはににん

Participate in a Book Club ― 今日からマ王?! (since it starts in December it might overlap in majority during 2024? if not then there will probably be another book club I’ll be in lol)

added to Natively by you ― a BUNCH but thinking of 遠田おと短編集 にくをはぐ or .hack//bullet currently

Higher Natively level - オーバーロード

Debut work ― ブルターニュ花嫁異聞 (the only work I could find under this mangakas name so I assume it’s the debut?)

Non-fiction - 古事記/漢字の使い分け図鑑/アニメ好きサラリーマン/28歳からの おとめのカラダ大全/maybe continue to the second book from 猫の浮世絵/variety of マンガでわかる that I have lol

Longest on 積読 /TBR pile - BORUTO/キノの旅/GJ部/とらドラ! (first books I bought, all were bought on the same day, ironically enough I bought them thinking this is where I would start and ended up not touching them at all lmao)

Workplace setting - 氷属性男子とクールな同僚女子/白と黒~Black & White~(reread? read rest of 1st vol+2nd?)/あせとせっけん/波よ聞いてくれ

Award winner - ラブ★コン

edit: I'm thinking of trying to go for the only one type of media challenge, which will be manga so it's rather a bit unfair (since it's probably easier than books) but I honestly really want to give it a try, might redo with books if I do finish it like that

no reviews /gradings /ratings ―

1 vol. in a single day ― will probably happen sometime during the year

Non-fiction - 28歳からの おとめのカラダ大全

Longest on 積読 /TBR pile - ウラカタ!

and it’s easy to re-do the board with different wordings/colours if someone prefers to. There is an option to post prompts as a list (1 entry per line) and the board gets generated with them.

Yeah I just did my own version with full prompts, just for fun.

regarding award works - does any award count or does it need to have a certain degree of “prestige”/“acknowledgement”?

I’m mainly thinking of examples like the differentiation between an overall award for nominations across magazines/publications and a local magazine award etc

For books to count, do we need to start them in 2024? Or is it ok if we finish a book we started this year?

4 Likes

Just my personal opinion but “you do you”. If someone holds back the last page of 5 books just so they get a bingo early, the only person they are really cheating is themselves, imo. Personally, it defeats the purpose of the bingo, but that’s an individual choice, imo.

For me personally, I would count anything where I read at least 50% in 2024.

Maybe we could put the prompt number on the card. That way you don’t have to second guess the meaning
