But now we\u2019re a year on, and the regular New Year chaos of January has arrived I can return to our regular programming with posts about goals, my blogiversary, trying to catch up on the backlog of reviews, and of course bingo!<\/p>\n<p>I really like my choices this year. I do think I copped out a little avoiding things I didn\u2019t really want to read. I could have added fantasy but then I\u2019d have to read one and I don\u2019t want to be forced to, especially when I have a record of hit or miss when it comes to that. I\u2019ve also done this enough that I have a few dozen options to cycle through that give me a variety of reading options. Classics, space operas, and mythology will all cycle round again no doubt. I might have fun with creative covers next time too.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing I avoided was a trope box. I\u2019ve never been good with finding a book based solely on tropes. Until recently, when the trope is usually the only thing listed on a blurb instead of a plot, how were you supposed to even know something was enemies to loves or fake dating until you read it? I\u2019ll happily discover these things later, but I don\u2019t need to seek them out.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I\u2019ll be brave next year and go wild on tropes, fantasy, and covers, but for now I\u2019ve got this lot to tackle.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11697\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/lostinagoodbk.com\/2025\/01\/16\/book-bingo-2025\/bingo-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/lostinagoodbk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bingo.png\" data-orig-size=\"500,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bingo\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/lostinagoodbk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bingo.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/lostinagoodbk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bingo.png?w=500\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11697 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lostinagoodbk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bingo.png\" alt=\"A Bingo Card featuring 25 different categories of book related things.
