R&W: February book bingo

Bookish.com has an email newsletter that includes a 'book bingo' sheet for each month. I thought some of their challenges could be good for swaps.

Rather than being required to read enough books to get a "bingo" on the card, the monthly challenge will be to read just ONE book on the card, then, to finish out the rest of the row for your 'bingo', list a suggestion for those books. Include the title and author, but you don't need to include anything else.

You can find the link HERE The site has other challenges and such as well, if you're looking for those.

On a notecard or in a letter (typed or handwritten, either is fine - but NO postcards), list the title and author of the book you chose to read for January. List which category you chose from, and include a brief description of the book - either one you write, or use the blurb on the back cover, Good Reads, Amazon, etc.

Then, list titles and authors of books for the rest of the line to get your Bingo!

For example, I may choose "Title begins with Y", and I could choose "You" by Caroline Kepnes. Then I would need to list titles of books for "Chinese or Chinese American author", "Heart of cover", "Three word title" and "explores #BlackLivesMatter movement" for a horizontal bingo on the bottom row. If you are doing several challenges for swaps or for yourself (like I am!), hopefully you can find a book that meets this challenge as well as others, so you won't be 'required' to read multiple books in a month. I don't want to make swaps feel like chores. :)

Does that make sense?

The other books you list do not have to be books you have personally read. Some of these categories are a bit tough! :) Just give it your best shot.

So, a recap. You will have 1 partner and send that partner a note card or letter with the title and author of the book you chose from the bingo categories, along with a brief description. Then, you will list the title and author of books for the remaining 4 categories for your bingo. February is a short month, so I'll give you a few extra days into March to finish up the swap and mail out. As soon as I can find the March Bingo, I'll post the swap. :)

This swap will be International, as it will be lightweight to send. The letter or note card should be written in English, but you may, of course, read a book in any language you choose.

If you have any questions, please send me a PM. I'm lousy at checking the comments section. :(

If you think of or find books for these categories, please feel free to list the titles below in the comments! I'll admit, this is going to be a HARD challenge for me. I hate romancy type books, and the books listed on the Bookish page for suggestions of these categories either don't appeal to me, or I've already read them! SO, feel free to help each other out. :)
