Fantasy Buddy Reads discussion

Challenge Rules Reference

The Bingo Challenge is where you try to read one book from each of the 25 listed topics, marking Bingo spaces as you go. You can either try for a single Bingo (5 completed in a single row) or a blackout Bingo (in which all the spaces have been covered). Just change the O's to X's as you complete each category. The books you read towards this challenge don't necessarily have to be from the fantasy genre. Have fun!

I'd recommend starting this with #1 in the top left, then left to right, top to bottom from there, but you can arrange it any way you'd like as long as you're consistent.
