2015 Book Bingo

As I've been thinking about my reading goals for the upcoming year, I've run across a few different reading challenges floating around the internet, and it seemed like a fun way to push myself as a reader. However, no single list felt quite right for my own tastes and reading interests—so naturally, I created my own. And to make the process even more fun and less obligatory, I placed my list onto a bingo board. Now I just need to get myself one of those round bingo markers, and I'll be legit!

I will be going into detail about my 2015 reading goals in an upcoming video on my YouTube channel, but this Book Bingo will be playing a small, fun part in those goals. It will hopefully balance out the more serious goals I have (spoiler alert: reading diversely! social justice!). I won't be stressing about this Book Bingo challenge; I will simply be checking in on occasion to see if I can cross any off the list.
