To complete the challenge you have to cut all the five letters of BINGO. To cut one letter of bingo, you have to complete all the prompts in a vertical, horizontal or a diagonal line.

For example, completing prompt no. 1,2,3,4 and 5 would make make a horizontal line cutting the letter ‘B’ in the BINGO. Same goes for completing all the prompts in other horizontal, vertical and diagonal line.

Mary, I'm not sure what you mean by "animated or drawn book covers"??
Will books like Jackaby (Jackaby, #1) by William Ritter and Renegades (Renegades, #1) by Marissa Meyer count?

By ‘animated’ or ‘drawn’ covers I meant something that looks like this

For ‘drawn’ -
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston , Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas ,

For ‘animated’ ,
Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron , The Gilded Ones (The Gilded Ones, #1) by Namina Forna .

For ‘animated’ Basically, any covers which you think is something out of a 2d or 3D animated movie. (Basically imagine it as a scene from that movie)
OR
For ‘drawn’ something that looks like it has been hand drawn by a person

So the first one doesn’t count but the second one ‘renegades’ does.

if a book can serve for more than one prompt can you count it for more than one? :)

I'm not a mod but this is my assumption. I think a book that has a mythical creature or fairies and stuff. So I guess an example would be Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban because of the dementors and Buckbeak the Hippogriff

No,
I mean there should be at least 2 non-human creatures.
It doesn’t have to be just mythical creature.
It can be any creature other than human.

They can be humans in the book but there should also be non human creatures.

Just to be clear, humans with powers or super humans are not allowed.

No : )
One book can only be used for one prompt.

Yeah, I'm still pretty new to the group and using goodreads in general despite having it a long time, but I can be competitive so don't want to be too far behind because this sounds fun!

Any edition you’re reading except the audiobook.
If you’re listening an audiobook then just select any edition.
