Musings - Mystery Reading Bingo

Today I am sharing a Mystery Reading Bingo for 2026. Starting as soon as you want, put a small post-it over, or cross out with a pen, each block that you have completed.  You can get your books from TBR stack, through the library, used book stores, or ebook library (Libby app etc.) so you aren't spending a lot of money.

Your goal is to cover 4 or more squares in different configurations:

• Regular Bingo in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row (4 squares)
• "X" (both diagonal directions 8 squares)
• The form of a "C" on your card (8 squares)
• The Picture Frame where all sides filled in like a frame (12 squares)
• The Black Out where all your squares are crossed off (all 16)

Download Bingo (click here) you will get a redirect notice, just click on the "tinyurl" link and you will get the bingo sheet to download and print.

Why do this Bingo?  The idea is to expose you to different types of mystery books than you normally gravitate towards, to get out of your comfort zone.  You can use the search feature on my blog to get some ideas for books if you are stumped.  

Your reward for completing each configuration mentioned above until you have a blackout is you get to reward yourself  with a book for each one of the five configurations.  If you want to just do one or two configurations, that works too.

Please comment with how you like this Bingo and what books you discovered.
