Hey everyone!
We’re about six months into our first books@lemmy.world Book Bingo challenge. If you didn’t know about it, or if you’ve been debating joining, there’s still plenty of time to participate! You do not need to fill a whole card to complete the challenge: ‘bingo’ is only five squares in a line.
If you’re already working on bingo, how’s it going so far? Doing any fun challenges? Having trouble with any squares or rules? Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated!
We’ll be doing another post in a few months for 2025 bingo suggestions, and a turn-in post at the beginning of April.
On behalf of myself, Dresden, and JaymesRS, thank you for being here, and happy reading!
Wow, you’ve been putting in work; nice job!
Any form of romantic relationship, or romance as a genre? If it’s the former, then yeah, I can see how that’d be tough. I also skipped a few hard modes that just didn’t seem fun/doable (and I’m sure we’ll work on that for next year’s bingo). If you’re not against relationships in your reading, though, then anything with some form of LGBT+ romance that impacts the main plot should count, not just romance/romcom titles. For instance, a couple of things I read this year happened to involve the LGBT+ protagonist reconnecting with an ex for plot reasons; one was a historical mystery, and the other a contemporary fantasy.
I have read a book where two aroaces get married but they are incapable of romantic feelings so IMO it’s not romance.
Nah… that’s just my coping mechanism. I was wondering if I got a bingo and went through most of the books that I have read in past 6 months.
