This challenge runs October 1-December 31, 2021
The rules are simple: read five books to to get a BINGO. Bingos must be in a row, and can be up, down, or diagonal.
That's it! That's all there is to it!
No page limits, no format restrictions, nothing of the sort, because you'll find that I picked some of the *ahem* more difficult prompts from the Tackle That TBR challenge (oh, did I mention that Catch-Up Bingo has an ulterior motive?).
Enjoy!
