Read more, read widely in 2022!

I’ve really enjoyed hosting the book bingo challenge these last two years, and have been blown away by how many of you joined in! Thank you for all of your comments, emails and Instagram DMs through the year — I loved being a part of your reading journey! And of course, I’m hosting the book bingo challenge again in 2022!

Read on for all the details, changes, and additions this year.

The 2022 book bingo reading challenge

Here’s how this reading challenge works:

Choose your bingo journey: There are 25 prompts on the book bingo reading challenge. You get to decide how many you want to do.

Go for the full house, which means you commit to reading 25 books in 2022.

Pick your rows: Choose a few rows and commit to finishing those during the year.

You can choose two horizontal or two vertical rows, for example, which would mean a commitment to read 10 books during the year.

If you choose one horizontal and one vertical row of books, that gives you 9 books for the year.

Or choose a combination of horizontal, vertical and diagonal rows – choosing 3 rows means a commitment to reading 12-13 books in 2022.

Simple, right?

Then, join in for a monthly check-in and/or read along with me in 2022.

Monthly check-ins for the 2022 book bingo reading challenge

There will be a monthly check-in, but this year, it’s optional. I want this challenge to be easy and fun, not something you need to jump through hoops to complete.

I will be writing a monthly round-up post or book review, which will go live on the 30th of every month, because I like to summarize my reading. You are welcome to join me, of course! Write your own round-up or review and drop a link in the monthly check-in post. OR simply tell us about the books you read or the one you loved the most in the comments.

If that’s too much, just download the book bingo card and track your progress {don’t you love crossing off books as you read them?}.

Psst…need reminders for the check-in? Join me in the Reader’s Nook {more details on that below}.

Read along with me

If you’re up for it, I’d love for you to share photographs of the books that you’re reading on Instagram. I’ve found some excellent books through the recommendations of other readers, and as a book lover, I’m eternally curious about what everyone else is reading! Please use the hashtag #bookbingowithMG to share your favorite books with me, or tag me @moderngypsy.in on Instagram.

Follow me on Instagram at moderngypsy.in — I will be posting updates, book snippets, and more in my stories {and I’ll be saving all of it in my highlights}.

If you’d rather stay off social media, join me in the Reader’s Nook on SubStack. I’ll be sharing some reading highlights and bookish reflections there once a month.

I’d love it if you shared this challenge with your friends or on social media – just click to download some ready-for-you images that you can use on an Instagram post or an Instagram story — and don’t forget to tag me @moderngypsy.in when you share!.

Want to get more involved? Then why not submit a guest post to my website? I would love to feature your book reviews or reading related articles through the year. Drop me an email at shinjini at moderngypsy . in letting me know which book you would like to review or outlining your post idea, and we will take it from there!
