Anyone here participating in this year’s r/fantasy book bingo? How’s it going if so?

Attached a pic of my card so far. Working my way through Red Sister currently and quite enjoying it, turns out this Mark Lawrence guy is pretty good.

Edit: just realised I said “this year’s” bingo when this may in fact be “the last” bingo. Oh well.

    You’ve got some good ones on your list. I didn’t realise Legends & Lattes had a sequel.

      Thank you! It’s a prequel out in November. I’d rather he did a sequel or spin off tbh, but I’ll take what we’re given.

    Ooohh, there will be a new book (sequel?) by Travis Baldtree who wrote Legends and Lattes called Bookshops and Bonedust? Out in November! First cozy fantasy hipster cafés and now a bookshop? That’s too perfect! I enjoyed Legends and Lattes a lot, I love Slice of Life anime so this was perfect, though tbh there was more plot and drama here than in most of of these shows __

    Red Sister was quite interesting. IMO the rest of the series doesn’t hold up.

    I highly recommend Gideon the Ninth down there at the bottom too. Very highly. Why haven’t you started yet?

      I was torn actually between starting that one next and Red Sister. Then I saw some negative comments about Gideon that made me hesitate, so your recommendation is actually much appreciated.

          No actually they were saying that the characters were unlikeable and complaining that it apparently has a downbeat ending, neither of which I was feeling up to.

    I didn’t know about it until it had started but as I’d already checked a few boxes, I started to pick books to read/listen to that fit the remaining squares (hard mode, usually) though I haven’t decided for certain what I’m going to use for some of the squares. Cool graphic, btw!

      Thanks! I made it using this. That’s the latest of many cards, my choices have changed a lot since bingo started. I think the chaos is part of the fun.
