#ARMEDWITHABINGO Kick Off

Since its the 1st of January, we are super excited to kick off a new decade of reading with you through #ARMEDWITHABINGO. We are overwhelmed with the positive response and would like to thank everyone who has signed up and helped spread the word. Through the bingo board (and beyond if you finish the board), we want to celebrate every book that you read and that’s why our kick off would be incomplete without sharing about the books that the community is reading.

We hope this gives you some ideas for some of the prompts on the #Armedwithabingo board. Also, if would like to be added to this list, send either of us message or tell us the comments and we will update the post.

Before we leave you to read in peace and happiness, a couple of upkeep items: The next time we will officially check in with you will be in the second half of March. In the meantime, as you cross of prompts on the board, you are welcome to let us know and we will be happy to share that with the rest of the community through social media.

We are still in the process of figuring out the giveaways and prizes and like we mentioned at the sign up, quarterly check-ins are all that you will need to be automatically entered in the giveaways. More on that later. Promise, you won’t have to do much.

Just read and enjoy #armedwithabingo and every book! 🙂
