Wake Me Up Before You BINGO

Wham! It’s September Check-In time for the CBR10 Book Bingo Reading Challenge! Let’s dance with the enthusiasm of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley in tiny pastel shorts.

There are 35 of us playing and we have posted over 200 reviews. We’ve earned a round of applause and a shimmy.

This post is a place for you to ask questions, ask for recommendations for categories, and find a review buddy if you need one. You can always post your questions in our Facebook group – Cannonball Read Book Chat, or on Twitter @cannonballread. We will also post the prizes we have so far. Check out our Instagram feed where we are posting pictures of the prizes every week. Finally, we’ll be posting administrative notes and reminders.

Administrative Stuff

• Please remember to tag your bingo reviews with cbr10bingo, and not “CBR10 Bingo”.
• Also, please remember to clearly indicate the category at the top or bottom of the review. My eyeballs thank you.
• If you are looking for free ebooks, particularly to fill the This Old Thing category, check out Project Gutenberg.

Bingo Game Card Pictures

If you are keeping track of your reading on a physical or digital Bingo card, feel free to share a picture of it on social media and tag the post with #cbr10bingo to show off to your fellow players. You can also upload it to the regular CBR Media Library just like you do in any post, or email it to rochelle at cannonballread dot com and your card will be added to this or future check-in posts. There will also be a roundup for a future Cannon Fodder newsletter and a wrap-up post here on the blog at the end of Bingo. You should also feel free to write your own wrap-up post when you have finished playing Bingo.

Next prize to show off for #cbr10bingo, copies of the first two books in the Sunbolt Trilogy signed and donated by Intisar Khanani! A million #thanks to @booksbyintisar for this generous donation. We knew Khanani was good – all of her books have 4-star reviews. But she's even more awesome than that – she's donating a portion of the sales of her #fantasy trilogy to @unicef. We <3 to hear of authors with the #payitforward mindset, and we're so happy for her support. Thank you!
