Goal: Be amazing. Get any one BINGO or fill your whole board if you're an overachiever.

I did this challenge last year and had a lot of fun keeping lists of the books I read for each category and crossing off squares. Kristilyn and Anne designed a new board for 2014 to keep things interesting. Check out the sign up page at the link above and join the Bingo fun! I'm aiming to fill the whole board this year.
