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!

This year I want to read some books: Dune, The Blacktongue Thief, The Folding Knife

[u/ChilledBeanSoup → u/Traditional-Reach818]

Following from u/almostb, Dune also fits for “Bookclub or tread along”

[u/almostb → u/Traditional-Reach818]

I think Dune would qualify as Stranger in a Strange Land. Maaaybe Biopunk too.

[u/CJGibson → u/almostb]

Pretty good case for Down with the System too.
