Hey friends!! Here is February's #ISpyBingo board!! Just a reminder that all of this year's boards (plus a few bonus ones!!) can be found in this folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/194F-B5hCHpDSBfHiO5KnbYxoQmXgKJl-?usp=sha... You're welcome to do one per month or work on all twelve all year long!! This is also set up as a Storygraph challenge (link below) if you want to use that for tracking. Good luck!!!

TheAromaofBooks SG Link: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/9f959770-56cc-4791-83ca-78ad595...

(I've listed the full year of prompts there, but not the bonus boards.)

willaful Bare chest, that one should be easy. 😏 3mo
kspenmoll Please add me- I participated a couple of years ago but not last year, so I‘m not sure if I‘m knew or just you have to renew me. Thanks. 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @kspenmoll - We haven't been tagging everyone each month - we just made the boards available to download at any time, and then I post around the 1st of the month just as a lil reminder 😊 3mo

Hey friends!! In case you missed it @Clwojick and I are hosting #ISpyBingo yet again!! This year we have already created the boards for the ENTIRE YEAR so you can download them at your leisure from this folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/194F-B5hCHpDSBfHiO5KnbYxoQmXgKJl-?usp=sha...

I just finished adding this challenge to StoryGraph, so if you want to track your progress there, the link will be in the first comment ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) SG Link: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/9f959770-56cc-4791-83ca-78ad595...

I've entered the full year of prompts there, but not any of the bonus boards.

Please note that I did find two typos on the December board - “sticking“ should be “stocking“ and “now“ should be “snow“ 😂 We went through soooo many prompts making these!!

I'm tagging last year's participants because I didn't make an official sign up post this ⬇
4mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) year, so sorry if you are getting tagged when you aren't interested, or if you get missed when you are!! I'll tag @LitsyEvents as well so hopefully the word gets out!!

Let us know if you have any questions - don't forget to tag us as you find items!!

Reminder: You can choose if you want to do one board per month or work on all 300 prompts all year!!

BookishMadHatter Are the bonus boards meant for a specific time or just all year round? 4mo
TheAromaofBooks @BookishMadHatter - Completely up to you!! You can try them during a specific month that you feel matches the theme, or work on them throughout the year along with the main boards. 4mo

Time for another #ISpyBingo board!! Here is November's challenge. @Clwojick and I are planning to continue this challenge in 2024, and since we're a little crazy, it's probably going involve some bonus mini-boards as well as the regular monthly ones 😂 As always, you can use a single book to check off multiple prompts, and we're not terribly strict on the interpretation of some of these 😆 The challenge, with all of this year's prompts, can ⬇

BarkingMadRead Woohoo so much fun! 6mo
kezzlou85 This looks fun. So do you just find and read books that match the various prompts to get a line and a house? 6mo
TheAromaofBooks Yes!! These can be anywhere on the cover, and the same book can cover multiple prompts. So if you read a book where they are baking on the cover, two people with different faces, one of them has red hair, and the title is in all capital letters - you can check off ALL those prompts. 6mo
aperfectmjk @Clwojick will you be updating StoryGraph with the November prompts? 6mo

Ack, so caught up in #BookSpinBingo and Scarathlon that I forgot to post October's #ISpyBingo card!!! As always, one book can fill multiple prompts, and we're a little loosey-goosey with interpretations 😂 Anyone can play along just for fun, or to try and score some additional Scarathlon points!!

TheAromaofBooks This challenge (including the prompts from the previous months) is available on StoryGraph!! https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/265c3ab9-c799-4d41-857c-d991e83...

It's never too late to BookSpin or Bingo 😂 For some reason, you weren't on my tag list!! What I usually do is tag everyone with the numbers, and then I make the bingo card my next post, but don't tag everyone again haha I'll find that post and tag you to make sure you found it, though!! 8mo

Sorry for the posting binge this morning!!! This weekend was just tooooo crazy for much Litsy-ing. But our new floors are, as my husband will proudly tell you, BITCHIN 😂 They look SO good and I'm super excited, but it has been quite the wild end-of-the-month adventure, taking up two full weekends and some evening work as well!! ANYWAY. We are through it now, and it is already MAY!! Which means we are ready to jump into a new #ISpyBingo board! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) 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! 😁

I'll be back tomorrow with May's #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo as well. Can't believe it's already a new month!!!!! What even!

It's also time to reveal May's #ISpyBingo board!! There are some tough ones on here!!!

Remember: These items can be found anywhere on the cover of a book you read, and you can check off more than on item with a single book (if it has the letter Q and a ghost, you get them both!). Feel free to be creative with checking these off - we're flexible! 😂 Also, let us know if you have any ideas for items on future bingo boards!!

April's #ISpyBingo board starts today!! So far I'm bombing my own challenge and have not scored a single bingo! 😂 But I am having lots of fun looking, and am also tracking the prompts throughout the entire year to see how many I can complete, even if it isn't until after the month is over!!

Anyone is welcome to play along with us, and I'll link the StoryGraph challenge with all the prompts below!!

@Clwojick

willaful Would it be cheating to use the cover of an edition in a language you don't read? 😇 13mo
TheAromaofBooks @willaful - I've personally only been using the covers that I actually read, but since the only prize is feeling proud of your accomplishments, I say go for whatever works for you! 😂 13mo

Good luck with this one, friends - there are some challenging squares here! 😂 I have personally yet to score a bingo on my own challenge, but that is quite alright because I have a great time hunting and I'm still working on all the past cards just for fun LOL

Clwojick You did so good though! So many boxes checked off! Way to go 🎉 14mo
Clwojick Also how did you like Magic, Lies and Deadly Pies? I thought it was pretty unique compared to the usual paranormal cozies. Definitely darker Than I expected, which is a bonus for me. 😉 I‘m excited for the next one! (edited) 14mo
aperfectmjk @Clwojick I liked it, but I agree, it was definitely somewhat dark. I didn't necessarily mind. I've got to be honest though... are there really people out there that love pie that much? Because it certainly isn't me. You could never murder me with pie... now a tray of brownies. I'M DEAD! 🤣 14mo
Clwojick Same! Or a cheesecake! Or even a cupcake. Definitely not a pie though. 😂 14mo
TheAromaofBooks You are definitely pushing the limits of how many squares can be checked off without a bingo 😂 14mo
