Sounds fun héhéhé

Also, I made myself an extended one
Count me in too - probably won’t exactly do any of the challenges though I’ll stick to counting only novels and light novels for this I think:

Obvious pick here is 月とライカと吸血姫 since I have one volume left. Holding out hope that they release the last audiobook. Alternative is 源氏物語
I’m planning to do the same, probably with the exception of “read a volume in a single day” which I would not know how to do with a novel
I was going to try to do a novel with this one
I feel like I would need to dedicate a day to it though and have all my meals preprepared so that I don’t lose any time.
I’m such a slow reader
My goal for next year is to drastically increase my reading speed!

Maybe we can crowd source relatively short (<200 pages) and easy novels? Or just super fun ones of around that length, even if not necessarily the easiest.
I have a lot of projects I’m already working on, so I want to try to take this on as well while trying to overlap as much as possible. Due to my manga magazine project, I’ll be using mostly manga (I have one non-fiction book I’ve been meaning to read so thats going on the list!)
As you may have seen, I have one really weird square and no free space. Knowing that I am going to read a LOOOOTTTT of manga the next year already, I wanted to make the final square on my bingo board as difficult as possible. So, in order to get the final square finished, I have to do 14/21 of the TBR Selection Qualifier List. This way I can still get to Rank 4 in a reasonable way, but earning Rank 5 will be a huge challenge, doubling the total amount of books I have to read! Hopefully this won’t come to bite me in the ass later! Wish me luck!
Oooh, I love that idea for a super hard 5th bingo! That’d a great idea for manga!

ハンチバック | L29 is less than a 100 pages long.
推し、燃ゆ | L37 is less than 150 pages long. I read it in a single sitting-ish (I think I got distracted by real life stuff at some point, but went directly back to it).
おいしいごはんが食べられますように | L32 is ~160 and I read it in a day, admittedly it was the holidays and I had more free time than usual.
銀河鉄道の夜 | L32 is apparently only 74 pages and is on my list of classics to read.

Hmm, that sounds like an interesting candidate indeed I recently read 100+ pages in a single day for the first time () but it took me the whole day. Maybe towards the end of the year?

That would indeed be interesting!
classics
This usually means “not easy”, right?
銀河鉄道の夜 | L32 is apparently only 74 pages and is on my list of classics to read.
It usually comes with other short stories, though. So if you count volume as 1 book, it’s out.
If the other story is also on aozora, it’s probably fine to do both.

I assume you mean if I bought a paperback? I planned to just read the Aozora version
I read a free ebook copy which I believe is the same as the aozora version, and it was indeed by itself. (It was pretty awful, but at least it was short.)
I decided to go ahead and make a card for myself, but I’m not sure how actively I’ll search out books for this challenge. I’ll probably use no modifiers and just fill it out as I read normally throughout the year, and maybe use it if I can’t decide what to read next.
This looks so fun, I’m in!
Natively BING(O) 2024 bingo card with Cover with cool colors on list, Award Winner, Book Club, 1 volume or story in a day, New Author, Read something free, Free!, higher than max natively level, non-human protagonist and Book on Natively
Create your own bingo cards with words and images, or choose from hundreds of existing cards. Print them or play online. It's easy.
I don’t know if this is a concern or not; I was browsing others’ bingo cards and noticed I could mark off squares, and it seemed to save that.
imagine the possibilities
edit: a.k.a we should probably make a “marks off list” then just in case lol, at least to me it seems like a good way not to forget marking off stuff anyways (something that I noticed happened to me on the 2023 one lol)
