2014 Summer Challenge | Beach Blanket Book Bingo

6/7/2014

Hey friends,

I was listening to a Books on the Nightstand podcast yesterday. They discussed their summer reading challenge and it sounded like fun, so I decided to do it. I probably have more than enough reading challenges already, but I couldn't resist. What's one more?   

The idea was inspired by Retreat by Random House's bingo challenge. This is a great way to incorporate some books that I probably wouldn't have read this summer.  I'll be trying to fill in one row, like you would do with traditional bingo game.  Of course, since I love audiobooks, I'll allow myself to have two squares on audio. Summer officially starts on June 21st, but since the unofficial start of summer was Memorial Day, I'll begin now.  My goal is to finish by Labor Day. 

Here's a link to the BOTNS #282 Beach Blanket Bingo post.You can print out your own bingo card there.  I'm very excited that I only refreshed the card once to get one that I liked!

I haven't decided on my course of action yet, so I'd love some recommendations in the following categories:
  • By a small press
  • Biography or memoir
  • That "everyone" but you has read (suggest a book that "everyone" has read)
  • A play
  • 10 short stories

It's a really laid back challenge so feel free to do as I did and modify it as you see fit.  Will you be joining in?

Happy Reading,
~Tamara

I am doing this challenge too! Good luck with it!
Have you read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks? Excellent Biography.
A book everyone else has read... The Handmaid's Tale? One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest? Room (Emma Donoghue)?

Have fun. :)
