You can play BINGO in a team, or as an individual.How to Play
◈ Start a new discussion thread in this folder with your team name (or if playing individually, your name)
◈ Get "BINGO" by reading books for five squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to create a line (there are 12 possible lines). Books need to have a "read date" after the date you begin (start date doesn't matter).
◈ Only one book per square. (i.e. If you are playing in a team, you read books to cover the squares as a team)
◈ "Free Space" square means you can read any book
◈ There are no requirements on book lengths, or re-reads
◈ Once you or your team finish your BINGO card, you can play again, or move onto the next BINGO card (new cards will be posted progressively. Feel free to send your suggestions for cards to this moderator account!)
◈ You can copy this spreadsheet as a template to track your/your team's progress if you like
◈ Once you have finished your BINGO card, you can download our "Bingo Button" to display on your profile, your blog, or in our BINGO Button folder :)

IT'S A PERKS ALPHABET READ-A-THON
As a group let's see what we can read in the month and have a Read-A-Thon with a twist!
How this works...
* Each book needs to follow the alphabet from the last one posted
* The Alphabet letter can be based on by genre, author, title, character names, narrator etc.
* As soon as you have a book that you have read in the month that can connect to the last one, post it with the reasons it follows the alphabet and the running tally for you, and for the group for the month, and let's see how many books we can read and connect in the month!
EXAMPLE
Post 1:
Kristie posts:
A
Artemis Fowl (Title)
Kristie's tally - 1 book
Perks Group tally - 1 book
Post 2:
Karen Posts
B
Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris (character Bobo Winthrop)
Karen's tally: 1 book
Perks group tally: 2 books
Post 3:
Kristie posts:
C
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (title and author)
Kirstie's tally: 2 books
Perks group tally: 3 books
.... hopefully you get the idea....
NOTE: You can read any book of any length, children's books and graphic novels also count. Please just remember to check the tally of the book ahead of you and add up the tally as you post
Books need to be marked as "read" between June 1 and June 30,2016. (It doesn't matter when you started)

Please feel free to post your latest blog post within this thread for other bloggers and readers to visit you!
Here's a tip!
Don't just dump a link and leave. Let us know what your post is about ; connect with other bloggers here ; read their content and actively engage. Become a part of a community :)
Think about your favourite book, or a book you are reading now, and give us just one line from that book.
You can always post what it is about that line that you loved, or how it was important to the story.
Or, of course, you can just pick a random line!
Go...!

IT'S A PERKS CONNECTED READ-A-THON
As a group let's see what we can read in the month of May and have a Read-A-Thon with a twist!
How this works...
* Each book needs to "connect" to the last one posted
* "Connects" can be based on by genre, author, title, character names, colour of cover, same award won or number of pages
* As soon as you have a book that you have read in the month that can connect to the last one, post it with the reasons it "connects" and the running tally for you, and for the group for the month, and let's see how many books we can read and connect in the month!

No problems, just sent you the invite
Andrea wrote: "if another team member read the same book I'm reading now , lets say a couple days ago, does it still count in any hand?"There is no requirement to read different books.
Do you mean, can your book count as a reverse as your team member read it? Then, yes
Nanci wrote: "Question: For Bingo, for the "birding" square, does it work if there's a feather on the cover of a book?"No, it needs to be a bird or a whole wing
Nanci wrote: "Question: What does it mean "Read a book with 2 and 5 in the page numbers (the edition you are reading)" Are you referring to the page numbers where it's listed number of pages in the book? Would t..."yes :)
