Messaged you! :)

Hi, friends! Today, I'm announcing the Summer Bingo Event for the second summer in a row!

Like last year's event, this will be a Discord-exclusive event because Goodreads threads don't work well for bingo cards.

If you'd like to only access the cards for your own reading inspiration, they're all in a Google Drive folder right here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

If you want to participate in the event and be entered in the giveaway, you'll need to join the Discord server! The link is in the Google Drive folder linked above, or you can comment below and I'll DM you a link. (Goodreads doesn't allow Discord invite links in posts like this one.)

If you aren't already in the server, I really hope you'll join us! It's free, safe, and we have so much fun. We chat about bookish things and non-bookish things too, share pet photos and talk about our lives, and we even have a dedicated reading sprint channel where members can sprint together any time they want! 🥰

What is everyone planning on starting the readathon with?
