Read more, read widely in 2024!
It’s time for an all-new edition of the Book Bingo reading challenge! This reader favorite is back for a fifth consecutive year, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of your reading journey once again!
Read on for all the details.
The Book Bingo 2024 reading challenge
There are three main parts to this reading challenge: choose your bingo journey + join the Reader’s Nook + track your progress.
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 2024.
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 2024.
Simple, right?
Then, join me in The Reader’s Nook, a cozy corner devoted to all things bookish.
But what is The Reader’s Nook?
The Reader’s Nook is a simple, monthly bookish newsletter, where I send book recommendations based on the year’s Book Bingo prompts and tell you about all the books I read during the month. I’ll also share some seasonal reading recommendations a couple of times of a year. And since I read a lot more than 25 books a year, my reading lists aren’t limited to the 2024 reading challenge prompts!
You should probably know that I read almost anything and everything: fiction, non-fiction, eagerly anticipated releases and lesser known books, the new, the old, and the oversaturated — so you’re sure to find some interesting recommendations and suggestions every month, no matter what kinds of books you like to read!
There will also be fun little extras, like a poem of the month and some bookish quotes sprinkled through the newsletter.
From time to time, I may also surprise you with a bookish deep dive on a book that captured my attention. Think quotes, curated author interviews, articles, and reviews from around the internet.
Sounds good? Come on over to The Reader’s Nook!
Keep track of the Book Bingo 2024 reading challenge
Tracking your progress on the reading challenge is super simple: Simply create a dedicated shelf for this challenge on Goodreads and make sure that your profile is not private. Then drop a link to your shelf/profile in the comments, so we can all follow one another to find more bookish recommendations!
Here’s my Goodreads shelf. Follow me or add me as a friend there!
If you don’t use Goodreads, simply track your progress on your bingo card {don’t you love crossing off books as you read them?} and join in on the recommendation threads that I will host from time to time in the Reader’s Nook.

I follow you on Goodreads and I love seeing the books you pick up. The titles always make me check them out to see if they’d interest my reading tastes 🙂
That’s one of the best things of reading challenges — finding new books! 😉
This is really interesting and now you’ve put me in two minds on whether I should join it. I’m usually against such challenges because they make my love for reading into an an anxiety-ridden activity. But let’s see. I might just opt for this one 🙂
There’s no real anxiety here because you get to choose how many prompts you read, and there’s no real tracking & no need to post any reviews.
Oh my God! It seems like a fun reading challenge. I hope to join in this challenge in the coming months.
I’d love to have you join in!
Love the prompts Shinjini, though I’m still on the fence about joining a reading challenge.
If you do decide to join one, I’d love to see your picks for these prompts! Are we connected on Goodreads?
I have followed you on Goodreads, Instagram and joined Reader’s Nook. Definitely going to try and aim for 25 books in 2024.
Awesome! Welcome aboard!
Thats an interesting reading challenge and I cant deny that. The prompts are really offering me the kick to read more in 2024. Will follow you on Goodreads and Instagram soon
Yay for more reading! Glad to have you joining in!!
I was an avid reader in my youth and nowadays I am lucky if I read one book a year! I am joining! Not setting high goals but a realistic one!!!
Welcome, welcome Marsha! Yes to realistic goals — hopefully you’ll be able to read more than 1 book a year. Maybe 1 book a month?
Shinjini I love your idea of a Book Bingo and how through this chart one can discover so many new ways of discovering books. As much as I am tempted to join I know it will be rather pressing for me to devote myself to so many books and I do not wish to rush myself. Will follow you on social media and Goodreads for some recommendations.
You don’t have to read 24 books, you could pick a row to finish and just read those, if you like! 🙂
These are some interesting and cool prompts, Shinjini! I would love to join. You know, I have participated in many challenges over the last decade, but in the last 2-3 years, my reading has taken a hit. I want to change that in 2024 and would like to take baby steps, reading at my own pace!! Will cheer for you and everyone from the sidelines and will certainly look for your recommendations.
Oh do join in Shilpa. You can read just a row of prompts, or scattershot them. It’s completely self directed. If the prompts help you to get your reading game on, go for it!
I have always been in two minds about joining this challenge. I love reading, but joining a challenge makes my anxiety flare up cause I will never leave a challenge unfinished….Anyway I can see the amount of thought you have put in this. Wishing you all the best!
Oh no to anxiety! One way around that may be to decide that you’ll just read based on one row of prompts. Anything more is a bonus!
Will definitely try…

Interesting challenge! I probably won’t have time to join this year since I already signed up for some challenges but all the best to you.
Signing up for your challenge! I friended you on Goodreads and joined the Reader’s Nook.
Wonderful! Great to have you join in!
