Retreat’s Reading Bingo 2013 Challenge

When facing a new year filled with so many possibilities for resolutions, sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Do you want to challenge yourself to read more in the coming year? What about to read more widely? And where’s the motivation to stay on track?

Bingo–that’s where! Welcome to Retreat’s Reading Bingo 2013 Challenge. We’ve created a printable bingo card with 24 reading challenges! Join us and challenge yourself to read more, to read more widely and to have fun doing it all!

You can approach the Reading Bingo card however you like: beginners, start by getting one line; if you’re more advanced, try the whole outside box on the card; experts–fill in the whole card!

We would recommend using one book per space, but if your local bookseller recommends a book with an animal on the cover, who are we to stop you from cover two squares with one read?

Come back here often–we’ll be giving suggestions for reads that fit the various criteria in case you get stuck–and we’d love to hear which books you’re reading and how many squares you’re covering as you go! We’ll keep you updated with our progress, too!

So, grab your Reading Bingo card, get reading and report back to us!
