EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

Welcome to the 2025 Bingo Reading Challenge, a fun way to read around the block and broaden your bookish horizons. This is a year-long challenge that can be played in a variety of ways.

Regular: say BINGO! You’ve read books that fit in the 5 categories presented on the bingo card in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line.
Blackout: BIGNO! Italian Bingo, you’ve read all the categories of books on the card.
Mix it up: BONIG! Use the card as a way to inspire your reading life. Cross out as many categories of books as you’ve read.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I count the same book for several categories or can I use it only once?

No, it can only count for one category, even if it fits many.

2. How do I paste the picture of the Bingo card into my post?

‣ After clicking on the link, your Bingo card is generated. Take a screenshot of it.
‣ You now need to upload the screenshot image file, and get a publicly available URL (web address) for it. Go onto the website https://imgur.com/upload and upload your file. Once it’s uploaded, click the Copy link button to copy your image’s URL (web address).
‣ Go back to your post on this discussion thread.
‣ Copy the following code and paste it into your post, replacing YOUR_URL_HERE with your URL:
       <img src="YOUR_URL_HERE.jpg">
Be sure there is a ‘.jpg’ tacked onto the end of your URL. So if your URL was  𝚑𝚝𝚝𝚙𝚜://𝚒𝚖𝚐𝚞𝚛.𝚌𝚘𝚖/𝚊/𝚎𝚑𝚁𝚝𝚋𝙼  your code should look like  <𝚒𝚖𝚐 𝚜𝚛𝚌="𝚑𝚝𝚝𝚙𝚜://𝚒𝚖𝚐𝚞𝚛.𝚌𝚘𝚖/𝚊/𝚎𝚑𝚁𝚝𝚋𝙼.𝚓𝚙𝚐">

3. Does “translated from another language” have to have been an English translation?

It simply has to have been translated from the original into some other language. If you normally read books in French, for example, then it might be a Russian book translated into French, or the same book translated into English!

4. How specific does “where you live” need to be? My city? Province/state? Country?

Tl;dr: If if feels like it’s about your part of the world, it works.

I thought it best to let each of us decide this for ourselves. For someone who lives somewhere like London or NYC, they wouldn’t be challenged to find something about their city, but they might even try to find something about their borough or neighborhood. For those of us living in rural or less-documented areas, it makes sense to think wider. I went with the state I live in. Others may choose a country or some other, wider space.

5. What does “book with a subtitle” mean?

A subtitle is simply some word or phrase that’s not part of the main title, but follows it. So like Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA or Greater Gotham: A History of New York City from 1898 to 1919. Obviously they’re pretty common in nonfiction, but novels do sometimes have subtitles as well. For example, Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators’ Revolution (which actually has two subtitles), Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, or Oliver Twist: The Parish Boy’s Progress.

" Book connected to where you live "
as in country or like area? cause i feel like ill be hard pressed to find one for my area

" Book with a subtitle "
what does this mean?

Rowiey wrote: “ ‘Book connected to where you live’
as in country or like area? cause i feel like ill be hard pressed to find one for my area

Tl;dr: If if feels like it’s about your part of the world, it works.

I thought it best to let each of us decide this for ourselves. For someone who lives somewhere like London or NYC, they wouldn’t be challenged to find something about their city, but they might even try to find something about their borough or neighborhood. For those of us living in rural or less-documented areas, it makes sense to think wider. I went with Nebraska, the state I live in. Others may choose a country or some other, wider space.

“ ‘Book with a subtitle’
what does this mean?”

Some word or phrase that’s not part of the main title, but follows it. So like Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA or Greater Gotham: A History of New York City from 1898 to 1919. Obviously they’re pretty common in nonfiction, but novels do sometimes have subtitles as well. For example, Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators’ Revolution (which actually has two subtitles), Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, or Oliver Twist: The Parish Boy’s Progress.

would Life & Laughing: My Story count for that then?

Rowiey wrote: “would Life & Laughing: My Story count for that then?”

Sure!
