ABC Book Challenge

*cough*… After touting that I was ‘so ahead’ on this challenge last month, I then didn’t even look at this one (or roll the dice) this month… Oops?!
Meeghan Reads’ Reading Bingo – Q1 2019
I’ve decided that to keep this one interesting, I am only going to use physical books that I read each month, and I won’t be using the Discworld read-a-long books either. Oh, and I can’t use the same book for the same (or similar) prompt in another bingo.
Also, I only have NINE SQUARES left until I have completed the entire bingo! But no complete rows, columns or diagonals yet!! (This is so maddening!!)
Until next time, happy reading ??

I am doing the backlist challenge but didn’t realize there was a bingo. So fun. I am going to have to start doing that.

There is a smaller bingo with about 25 squares, and this one is the ‘epic’ bingo. All the prompts for the smaller bingo are in the epic one, so you could start with one and then change. Austine has coloured them in the House colours as well, plus a burgundy for those not participating in the house teams. x

Damn that is a lot of challenges. I am bad with just one challenge so I don’t know how you do it. Good luck with all the challenges!
Meeghan reads
Thank you!!! It helps that there is a lot of crossover!! ??

Oh that is always really good. It seems like a lot but ends up working out in the end! I tried doing some challenges a couple years ago. I felt I focused way to on them. So I was kinda forcing myself to read books for the challenges. I took it too seriously.

Oh, I’m a mood reader and then trying to fit books in retrospectively at the end of the month!! It doesn’t always work, but it’s kind of fun!! The main goal is to READ BOOKS, and so long as I’m doing that I feel like I’m winning ?
bookishinbed
Yeah that is true. I took it way too seriously. So I just had to stop doing them. I saw Marisha Pessl had going on this year that I might attempt to do.

looks like you’re progressing nicely! my bingo is kind of all over the place so I actually have no idea how close I am to any completed rows, but yours is looking great ? and I’m still impressed that you’re keeping up with 11 (!!!!!) challenges. wishing you continued good reading in March ?
Meeghan reads
Thanks lovely!! I actually have a really great system (when I keep on top of it) of filling in all my spreadsheets so I know where I’m up to!! ? And I bet yours will be just as good when you sort it out ?
Sofii @ A Book. A Thought.
So many amazing challenges!! I hope you’re having fun trying to complete them ??
