Oh, I did enjoy Bingo in 2025!
So it was only natural that I’d make my own board in 2026 and try to challenge myself further… So, this year we’re setting a few rules:
- Try not to use any of the 26 in 2026 books to complete Bingo squares (with the exception of any of the squares that require multiple books to be read, if they start with a 26 in 2026 or contain any from that list, no problem!)
- None of the bingo squares need to be declared in advance, however the challenge squares may take some planning, that’s fine!
- If the whole board gets completed then the challenge squares get changed but the rest will stay the same for 2026. (though given how difficult the challenge squares are, this won’t happen!!)
So, without further ado, here is the bingo board for 2026!
As per normal, some of these are relatively easy to complete. However, I have deliberately added in challenges not only in the aptly named CHALLENGE Squares, but also in the normal square (read a book published in the year I was born?! I haven’t even figured out how I’m going to figure out what to read for this one!). I’m very much looking forward to it!
Do you do any challenges like this? Less about the book titles, and more about challenges or prompts (aside from a prompt jar?). Let me know, because I need some inspiration for replacement challenge squares just on the off chance that I do somehow complete this board (which to be clear, I absolutely do not think I’ll be able to do!).
