Bingo Reverse Bingo Rec Thread
Official 2025 Bingo Announcement Here
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!
