Woohoo!! New #ISpyBingo board dropped!! As always, you can use one cover to check off as many boxes as you can, and we are totally fine if you want to get a little imaginative in your interpretation of the prompts 😂 Let us know if you have any questions or want to be added/removed from the tag list!!

@AardvarkBookClub just released their first batch of July hints🤩 Just taking some guesses…what do you think @swishandflick ??? Tagging books below ⬇️ but just my thoughts based on the naked covers🤪

With June just around the corner, we figure it‘s time to post the new #ISpyBingo board! There are some super fun ones on here! Can‘t wait to see what everyone finds for “Wild animal found in your region”.

We are through it now, and it is already MAY!! Which means we are ready to jump into a new #ISpyBingo board! I'm still consistently bad at this challenge, having not once scored a bingo, but for some reason I just really love it!! So feel free to jump in and have fun with it. We're pretty lax about what you can “count“ to check off a square! 😁

Again, No bingo this month 🤷🏽‍♀️But it is fun to look for the clues

I was able to complete three more spaces on the January #ISpyBingo board this month. I‘m going to continue working on the boards all year with different markers each month to see how many I can fully complete.

I‘ll keep working on these even when the month is done. I think I did pretty well this month with 3 bingos.

I didn‘t get a bingo, but it was really fun playing #ispybingo in January! Two of the books I read last month didn‘t really match any of the prompts, but maybe February will be more fruitful for me. Thanks @Clwojick and @TheAromaofBooks for the fun challenge!

Snowing in NH. Perfect reading day. My home from college daughter ran out like she was six and made a Dr Who snowman. It‘s the little things. Meanwhile I‘m cooped up indoors after dental work reading a sad story but it‘s so lovely to see the snow.

We know it‘s early, but we wanted to give everyone more than enough time to plan ahead for next months #ISpyBingo reads. Hopefully we‘ll be able to get it out around the 15th of each month.

Just like last month, the goal is to read books that have the following items (or words) on their covers. The trick is to find one book can that can count for multiple prompts. Good luck, and happy hunting! ❤️

Hey guys! Hope everyone is enjoying I Spy Bingo so far! If anyone wants to suggest any new prompts for the #ISpy Jar, leave them in the comments below! We‘ll be posting the board for February in the next week or so, to give everyone a chance to pick through their book stacks. ❤️

#ISpyBingo

We were so excited that we couldn‘t wait any longer to pick from the prompt jar, so here is the 1st official #ISpyBingo board! Again, the goal is to try to get a bingo (or clear the board) by reading books that have these items on the covers! One cover CAN count for multiple items, so get creative with those cover choices!

STORYGRAPH CHALLENGE: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/265c3ab9-c799-4d41-857c-d991e83...

We have quite the collection of items/prompts for the #ISpyBingo challenge starting in January, but if you would like to add any more, there‘s still time! I‘ll be randomly selecting 25 slips of paper to create Januarys bingo board within the next few days! 💜

Hey friends!! @Clwojick has come up with another fabulous challenge idea for 2023 and I am delighted to cohost it with her!! Each month we will be posting a new bingo board comprised of scavenger hunt items. The goal is to find and read books with these items on the cover (in any way - a picture or in the title) and score a bingo!!

We are looking for your help with this challenge - we would love to hear your ideas for items to search for!! ⬇

@TheAromaofBooks & I are so excited to announce a new monthly reading challenge that will be coming to you in 2023! Each month we will make a bingo board, filled with different things for you find on your book covers. A little cover scavenger hunt, if you will. The rules are simple. Find & read a book that has each item on the cover, check off that spot on the board, and try to get a bingo.

I expected a different story based off of the synopsis. I liked and finished the story despite this. The switching between Now and Then, occasionally causes confusion; even with the aid of different fonts. Too many times did I have to remind myself where I‘m the story this time period belonged.

#Ispy

This book was fantastic! Loved it, loved it, loved it! A really fun and enthralling domestic suspense! #bfcr4 #bookfitnesschallenge

Book 11/15

I feel like crap 💩 ugh! Starting this one in my bed 💤!

This had such a good premise but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. It dragged a bit in the middle. The story splits from present time to the past. It was easy to follow but just didn't grab me as much. I found myself losing interest in some bits to do with Jane. There were some clever twists to the story and at times it was heartbreakingly raw. The ending was not what I wanted but was exactly how the book needed to end for the story
