The Great Book Binge is upon us once again, and we’re going to be spending the next month celebrating our favourite book series! This year, however, we have a fun game you can play along with … introducing Book Binge Bingo!
Download the game sheet below and see how many squares you can mark off. Start a series with a friend, finish that series you never got around to finishing, read a series from an #OwnVoices author — it’s up to you!
Share your progress on social media using the hashtag #BookBingeBingo and see how many of your friends you can annoy into playing along.
Now, as Booktopia’s Brand & Content Manager, don’t let it be said that I was too chicken to play. In fact, I’m about to cross off my first square: OUT OF THIS WORLD (SFF). (And anyone who is rolling their eyes at me or calling me predictable, or saying “I bet now he’s going to bang on about The Expanse or Dune” can SHUT UP.)
Anyway, I’m going to read a book called Leviathan Wakes, which is a wonderful book and YES IT’S THE FIRST BOOK IN THE EXPANSE AND I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK.
Now this is a clever choice for Book Binge Bingo and do you know why? Because it’s several squares with one stone … or book. It’s:
UNFINISHED SERIES (final book is yet to be released)
MADE INTO TV OR MOVIE (seriously, watch the show)
DEBUT AUTHOR (James S.A. Corey’s first book)
3 OR MORE IN THE SERIES (there’s currently 8 published books)
and
OUT OF THIS WORLD (SFF) (obvs)
Boom! I challenge you to do better.

Bought one recently from Booktopia so will start with that and it covers 5 squares – so, although no better than you, at least equal!! – crime, historical, Australian, unfinished series, 3 or more in series, and to make it 6 squares can I say its from the TBR pile as it’s been sitting there for a couple of weeks with my Christmas and birthday books?? :0)

Wow! I just realised I’ve almost got Bingo with one book. Kerry Greenwood’s Corinna Chapman series covers: Crime – Your Fave – #own voices on the diagonal (pity it’s not Young Adult!) – then Share with a friend (my bestie recommended it) – Unfinished series – From the TBR Pile – Australian – 3 or More in the Series – Romance. And while there may not be a map, there are recipes. Do recipes count?
