Every summer, the Seattle Arts and Lecture and the Seattle Public Library team up to excite adults to participate in a summer reading program, Summer Book Bingo. This will be my second year participating, and the first bingo square that I have completed is the "Translated from another Language," and that book was The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo.
Below are the Bingo squares for this summer's program:
- Recommended by a librarian
- Cookbook/Food Memoir (Bonus points for making a recipe)
- You've been meaning to read
- #We Need Diverse Books
- Collection of short stories
- From your childhood
- Prize-winner
- Set a place you've always wanted to visit
- Recommended by an independent bookstore
- Banned
- Collection of Poetry
- Young adult book
- Translated from another language
- Non-fiction
- Novel
- Local author
- Written by a Seattle Art's and Lectures speaker (past or upcoming)
- Reread
- You finished reading in a day
- Read out loud
- Out of your comfort zone
- Memoir
- Written more than 100 years ago
How to play: Complete a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line for a Bingo. Complete all 25 squares for a blackout card. This is for all books read from May 23rd-September 6th.
Fine print: You are on your honor to read books before adding them to your Bingo card. Cheating, skimming, or reading CliffNotes will invoke bad summer karma, which may include sunburn, ants at your picnic, or marauding mosquitos.
HAPPY READING!
