They had a page that would assemble a bingo card from randomly selected reading challenges like &#8220;read a book written in your birth year&#8221; or &#8220;read a book written by an author with your initials.&#8221; That year, I read enough to black out the whole card and felt pretty awesome about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following year I jumped from the reading wagon to the career-change wagon, and by the time I got back to reading, the book bingo page was gone. Then I found these <a href=\"https:\/\/read-something.backerkit.com\/hosted_preorders\/\">Read Something Cards<\/a>* by the makers of Library Comic, and an idea was born: I can use the cards to make my own bingo card!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/theshortstoryeditor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/read-something-cards-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theshortstoryeditor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/read-something-cards-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theshortstoryeditor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/read-something-cards-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theshortstoryeditor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/read-something-cards-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theshortstoryeditor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/read-something-cards-1536x1149.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/theshortstoryeditor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/read-something-cards-2048x1533.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/theshortstoryeditor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/read-something-cards-1443x1080.jpg 1443w, https:\/\/theshortstoryeditor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/read-something-cards-1320x988.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m going to use the prompts to choose the short story collections, anthologies, and theory books I&#8217;ll read this year.
