Here's how it works:

1. 🫶Friendship Bingo Card🫶: This special card is filled with prompts that celebrate the spirit of friendship. Each prompt can be used to find and read books that fit these prompts.

2. 🌟Miscellaneous Bingo Card🌟: This card is a delightful mix of letters, pictures, and numbers. Let your imagination soar as you interpret the pictures and associate them with book covers, story elements, or symbolic representations. Seek out books that have a connection to these pictures. Additionally, hunt for titles or authors' names that contain specific letters on the card. You can match the numbers on the card with the page count or the titles of the books you choose to read.

3. 📚Buddy Reading🤩: July is the perfect time to celebrate World Friendship Day (July 30th) by engaging in buddy reading. Find fellow book enthusiasts with similar interests and embark on a shared reading experience. Buddy reading not only enhances your connection with others but also earns you extra points on your Bingo Card.

The books you have read are group reads so I think you should get extra points for buddy read.
