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.

16/25… Not too shabby!
Good job! Now I am curious as to how many new-to-me authors I read this summer.
I bet you read more than I did.
WOOHOO and congratulations for a finished BINGO!!!! I read some of the authors, but recognize at least half of the them. Well done 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼

Thank you! 🙂
Oh wow you did brilliant with this challenge! xx
Thank you! 🙂
Wow, you’ve done so well 😀 Good stuff!
Thanks!
Congrats on getting Bingo! And for finding so many new authors to try!
Thanks!
You did fantastic!! 16 new authors, and look at you rocking all those reviews! I think I’ll be posting my update tomorrow.
Thank you! I can’t wait to see it.
Congrats on getting BINGO! I wish I had found this meme to challenge me to read more new-to-me authors.
Thanks! You could do it and change it to Fall or Winter. 😉
Congrats! I’ve been curious to see how everyone’s cards turned out but I couldn’t find a central link-up post, so I’ve just kind of been randomly googling, haha. Pleasant surprise to see your site pop up! I haven’t read any of your authors at all, but I recognize a few titles. I’m glad you were able to check off “lesser known” — I’m always interested to see what’s off the beaten path.
Thanks! I think there is a link up on Jana’s site. You just have to dig back through her posts.
You’ve done so well! Congrats, Deanna!
Thank you! 🙂
You did really good! I think I only read 3 of the books I had on my bingo board, but I did try a lot of new authors overall.
Thank you! That’s good. They should count.
