When will the Summer Bingo start?

[Louise]

Maybe it's because we've actually had Summer weather this weekend - but I'm getting the bingo itch :-) :-)

When will the official books on the nightstand 2016 summer bingo start?

[Katherine]

I think it's usually between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

[Nicole]

I am itching to get the card and plan out my reading!

Me too!

[Carol]

I was wondering when it was starting also. I want to start a new book but was waiting for my bingo card to make a selection!

[Louise]

My sentiment exactly Variablestar :-)

I will be ready for my next book by Memorial Day Weekend. Might it be announced next week?

This is the first year I will be participating and am very excited about it :)

It will officially start on Memorial Day weekend, and the link to the updated cards will be in this week's podcast/show notes!

Hurrah! I'm in the post BEA slump where i have 40 books and don't know what to choose next. The card will help!

Now for the dilemma - I am trying to completely fill a bingo card this year (about halfway there...), but I also want to do beach bingo - so can I double-count books for that? Or should I just forget about summer bingo and focus on my regular card?

We talk about that on the podcast, and I said that I would count a book for both cards. Michael was less sure. It's completely up to you.

I guess if I targeted my reading to just the five books I would need for one row of bingo it might be doable - it would only be five extra for the year. But I'm in three postal book clubs and an in-person book club - makes it hard to be able to pick my own books to read. (For future reference - 3 PBCs is too many...)
