Overview
r/Fantasy Book Bingo is a yearly reading challenge within our community. Its one-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new authors and books, to boldly go where few readers have gone before . . . (okay, a lot of us have gone here by now, just roll with it!)
The core of this challenge is encouraging readers to step out of the subreddit's hivemind, discover amazing new reads, and motivate everyone to keep up on their reading throughout the year.
RULES:
Time Period and Prize
- 2024 Bingo Period lasts from April 1st 2024 - March 31st 2025.
- You will be able to turn in your 2024 card in the Official Turn In Post, which will be posted in mid-March 2024. Only submissions through the Google Forms link in the official post will count.
- 'Reading Champion' flair will be assigned to anyone who completes the entire card by the end of the challenge. If you already have this flair, you will receive a jar of honey indicating the number of times you completed Bingo.
Repeats and Rereads
- You can’t use the same book more than once on the card. One square = one book.
- You may not repeat an author on the card EXCEPT: you may reuse an author from the short stories square (as long as you're not using a short story collection from just one author for that square).
- Only ONE square can be a re-read--all other books must be first-time reads. The point of Bingo is to explore new grounds, so get out there and explore books you haven't read before.
Substitutions
- You may substitute ONE square from the 2024 card with a square from a previous r/Fantasy bingo card if you wish to. EXCEPTIONS: You may NOT use the Free Space and you may NOT use a square that duplicates another square on this card (ex: you cannot have two 'Goodreads Book of the Month' squares). Previous squares can be found via the Bingo wiki page.
Upping the Difficulty
- HARD MODE: For an added challenge, you can choose to do 'Hard Mode' which is the square with something added just to make it a little more difficult. You can do one, some, none, or all squares on 'Hard Mode' -- whatever you want, it's up to you! There are no additional prizes for completing Hard Modes, it's purely a self-driven challenge for those who want to do it.
- HERO MODE: Review EVERY book that you read for bingo. You don't have to review it here on r/Fantasy. It can be on Goodreads, Amazon, your personal blog, some other review site, wherever! Leave a review, not just ratings, even if it's just a few lines of thoughts, that counts. As with Hard Mode there is no special prize for hero mode, just the satisfaction of a job well done.
This is not a hard rule, but I would encourage everyone to post about what you're reading, progress, etc., in at least one of the official r/Fantasy monthly book discussion threads that happen on the 30th of each month (except February where it happens on the 28th). Let us know what you think of the books you're reading! The monthly threads are also a goldmine for finding new reading material.
