My blogger friend Jessica over at Reading with Jessica has set up a summer bingo challenge with Jana at Artsy Reader Girl. I am going to attempt to play along this summer. I’ll update you with how I’m doing periodically.
NEW-TO-ME AUTHOR SUMMER BINGO
The Basics:
- This event lasts from June 1st-August 31st.
- You can only count books towards the bingo card if you have not read that author before.
- Each book only counts for one bingo spot. You can’t use one book for multiple spots.
- A bingo can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
- Feel free to use any genre for this challenge. Multiple genres even!
- Use the hashtag #nasbingo to share updates on social media/blog posts.

*UPDATE*
Completed Bingo squares are ✓ off. Titles are linked to my reviews.
My TBR: COMPLETED!!!
✓ Recommended by a friend: Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade
✓ Over 400 pages long: One More Step by Assorted Authors – 658 pages and I’m kind of cheating here because this is an anthology. I have read some of the authors, but many were new to me. At least 15 out of 25. It counts, right?
✓ Features a vacation: Vegas Love by Jillian Dodd
✓ First in a series: The Hook Up (Game On, #1) by Kristen Callihan
✓ Standalone: The First Score by Amie Knight
Extra Squares Marked Off:
✓ A Holiday is Celebrated: Worth the Fall (The McKinney Brothers, #1) by Claudia Conner
✓ Contemporary: Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters, #1) by Talia Hibbert
✓ Summer 2020 Release: Living at the Frat House by Penny Wylder
✓ Hyped: The Roommate by Rosie Danan
I got a Bingo! Now, everything else is just extra.
You are doing fantastic! You’re well on your way to a blackout! I need to get my update up.
Thank you!
Congrats on getting Bingo!
Thanks!
Hooray on the bingo!! I’m so glad you read and loved The Roommate! 😀
Thanks! It was really good. I’m glad you posted about it so much.
Way to go, Deanna! You really nailed this challenge. 🙂 (And I’m again reminded that I need to continue that Kristen Callihan series.)
Thank you! Yes, read it!!!
I love reading new authors, and I think 2020 is already a year where the amount of new authors I’ve read so far is more than ever before. Also congrats to your BINGO 😀
Thank you! Yes, it’s a great year to try new authors.
Congrats! I’ve got 4 in a row a few different places but haven’t quite succeeded, though I will if I can nail “over 400 pages” (long shot), “number in the title” or “one word title.” I actually haven’t read a single one of your authors, but One More Step sounds like an incredible undertaking.

LOL. It felt like a job at times, but I found some really great authors and enjoyed some I love.
This is a great way to read new authors, congrats Deanna!
Thanks! It’s been fun!
