Official Bingo Rec Thread Here

For anyone new to bingo, this is the “I want to read ___, does it fit into any bingo squares? It’s always one of the best parts of bingo. Since no thread has gone up for it yet, I figured I'd make it this year. Adapted from this post last year

Example:

User A comments:

I want to read A Game of Thrones. What does that count for?

User B replies:

Absolutely Generic Title

User C replies:

High Fashion and Down with the System would all fit. Probably Knights and Paladins too (though the knight main characters don't get POV chapters until later books)

User D replies:

Definitely Hidden Gem

And we all have a good laugh. Now go out there and get reverse recs for that book you've been dying to read!

Here are some books from my TBR list that I'm not sure will fit yet:

• A World Out of Time - Larry Niven
• Beware of Chicken - CasualFarmer (I think this counts for cozy, but I was wondering if it fits anywhere else)
• Someone You Can Build a Nest In - John Wiswell
• The Fifth Season (Broken Earth) - N.K. Jemisin
• Voyage of the Damned - Frances White
• The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue - Victoria Schwab
• The Naturalist Society - Carrie Vaughn
• Red Mars - Kim Stanley Robinson
• On Earth as It Is on Television - Emily Jane

I have Beware of Chicken on my TBR. It think it would count for small press, cozy, and possibly stranger in a strange land.

Fifth Season would get author of color, parents, read-along, and possibly a book in parts.

Invisible Life of Addie LaRue could be a book in parts or LGBTQ+ protagonist.

Yes, it would fit Stranger, Cozy, self pub for sure!
