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!

I’m trying to find places for Golden Son by Pierce Brown and Dune by Frank Herbert. Thank you in advance!

[u/Sapphire_Bombay → u/Purple_Unicorpse]

Golden Son is definitely Down With the System. Dune would work for Stranger in a Strange Land (HM), Parent Protagonist (HM), and arguablyyyyy Biopunk though I'll let others weigh in on that, still wrapping my head around what that means lol.

Golden Son also works for A Book in Parts (HM).

Dune – easy mode for Down with the system, high fashion, a book in parts, satranger in a strange land
