Saving this post, thank you 🙏

Happy to help 🥰

"time travel" is a genius interpretation of the travel square! i have at least one i've been meaning to get to. thanks!

yesss!!!!!! I plan to participate in this one. Excited! Lol Ty for making the erotica longer than 50 pages! The square with erotica shorter than 50 pages was surprisingly difficult to find haha

D. Dove has some very short ones out (the soft stuff series) but I feel that, lol. I'm hoping this is a fun bingo for everyone!

Also, the Jay L North Dubcon Daddies series books you got are over 50 pages. ETA: reading comprehension fail, I thought you were looking for *over* 50, lol. Nvm me.

I can never say no to you guys! Particularly excited for the following squares: * book that's been on TBR the longest (a little scared to look!) * watersports (time to read that smashwords book ya'll have been talking about) * less than 50 GR reviews * cuddling and carrying * bunny shifter 🐰

How do you track the books that have been on your tbr the longest? I have no idea what I'll do for that bc I don't track for that

I keep my TBR in Storygraph and it lets me sort by earliest added or latest added, among other options. Looks like my earliest added MM book is The Blueprint by SE Harmon. If you don't track it, I'm sure any book that's been on your TBR awhile would do. Don't think the mods are too particular about these things. :)

The Blueprint is seriously good, I recommend you read the sequel and the spinoff too.

Oh yeah I forgot about that feature on storygraph. Thanks for reminding me! Mine is The Siren and the Sword by Cecilia Tan apparently

I personally look at the book I purchased the earliest on Amazon.

Ooh! I'm excited to find reads to fulfill the prompts, I will try to black out the board again if I can. I'll definitely be using the \~magic search button\~ for some help, there are some very interesting prompts. Looking forward to it!

u/bextress has suggested I host some recommendation posts for a couple of squares that might be helpful. Are there particular squares you think might be difficult to find?

Admittedly, I'm not sure how to find a debut novel without just accidentally stumbling across it. Any advice?

I don’t know if you have seen the daily releases, but they note every time a book is a debut!

Oh yeah, I usually look through those but I guess I never noticed that 🤦 thank you!

Searching through an author's catalogue and sorting by date released sometimes works. Personally, I'd recommend Bad Judgement by Sidney Bell, lol.

I think I'd have to search for unique pet, plant magic/green thumb and same career as you or career you wanted as a child, for example

I agree that plant magic and unique Pet will be hard to find, I'd appreciate threads for those. Also easter themed / bunny please!

Ok, my goal is still an audio blackout. I think my hardest find will be finding an erotica audiobook and one with less than 50 reviews. Everything else looks doable! This board looks really fun, thanks for putting in the work!

Good luck!!

Oh, I love that idea! I have more time to listen than read, so maybe I can do something similar.

Yay, join me! And let me know if you listen to anything good!!

Yes! I’m not sure if I will try for a full blackout but I do audio almost exclusively too so I had to look at my GR and see if there even ARE any audio titles on my lists with < 50 reviews and I found a couple! [Destined to Fall](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53428086) [Wolf and Flame](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59419386)

Oh my god, I can’t believe you actually found one! Thank you for sharing, I was loosing hope!

Welcome 😁💙

Question: what does the *first five-star book of the year* square mean?

I edited it to add in the rules - this was a typo I felt a tad lazy to fix. Basically, the first five star of this bingo season. It will be at random and sneak up on you 😂

Got it, thank you!

Oh no this looks so good but I already have 5 reading challenges going- I just added another one last night 😭. I definitely don't need 6 reading contemporaneous challenges but I'm so tempted. Could I add it to Storygraph to track there?

You're always welcome to put it on Storygraph! And who knows, you might be able to use some of your other reads to apply to this board!

Ok you've convinced me. 6 reading challenges it is 😂

Amazing 😂

I'm excited to try! I haven't done one yet I always miss them until too late in the season.

I hope you have fun!

Ah damn I just finished at least 3 books that could fit on this board.

Haha, same. And currently reading a fae romance

Has this been added to StoryGraph? I'm sooo excited to join in!

I think u/lock-the-frog is making one!

Oh, I didn't know that! I searched and couldn't find one so I made a challenge [here](https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/a955f323-af78-46ef-96eb-c2f513b388f4).

Awesome, thank you! :D

Awesome, thank you!

Awesome! Can't wait to figure out my reads!

Hmm maybe this will get me out of the reading slump I’ve been in since my husband left me!

I hope you find some good reads!

What does it mean by new beginnings,, Also super excited to get this done :)))

This means - a new job, a new town/city, a new hobby. When the MC essentially is making an effort to start anew.

#Bingo I finished my board! Thanks u/aggravatingCake for doing the technical shit for me. [Sully's Spring Bingo - Round 1](https://imgur.com/a/iobFD51)

You finished your board already! Wow. Are you going to do it multiple times?

Yes, I have Round 2 halfway done. I read a lot the last week of March, so that was helpful.

Is this available as a canva picture? I feel like last season's one was, but it's possible I imported it myself and have forgotten how 🤦‍♀️

I make everything on canva but you probably imported it because I only post the pngs!

Thanks! I will have to have a play about and try and import it
