This challenge was listed in a Goodreads group that I participate in. The goal is to read books to make as many “bingos” as you want. I generated my bingo card here, using the directions provided in the group challenge. This challenge has 24 prompts (genres), and I hope to complete all of them. Below is the list of prompts. After each prompt is the book I read. I will update this list as I continue to work on the challenge.

This looks like a fun one Darinda. I am going to generate my own card and see if I can get a few bingos. Probably won’t get them all, but will give it a go.
Good luck with it! I usually start filling it out fairly easy, then hit a roadblock. I always end up with Westerns on my card, and it’s not a genre I read. I have a few Cormac McCarthy books collecting dust around the house, so I’ll probably end up reading something by him.
I have been reading some cowboy romance books, so I think that should qualify.
Yes, that would definitely qualify.
