At the beginning of this year my family and I decided to play reading bingo. We each submitted various prompts, and then they got sorted onto a bingo card. If we read a book that fulfills a prompt we get to check off that square. It’s fun!
We’re going to do it again in 2026, which means I need to come up with more prompts. Unfortunately my family has rejected a high number of my previous suggestions. Since I can’t do anything else with them, I decided to share them here.
- A book with a robotic cat on the cover but it isn’t about a robotic cat
- A book that nobody has ever read before, including the author
- An English translation of the Voynich Manuscript
- A book that a tree would like if a witch taught it to read but also cursed it with a short attention span
- A cookbook, written in verse
- A book about a woman who drinks a potion that shrinks her down to the size of a mouse and she fights a mouse and then she becomes queen of the mice
- A book you can’t find in the Library of Babel
- A line-by-line refutation of the bible, but not the religious bible
- A book that will be published ten years from now
- A book that would work moderately well as a pair of socks
- A book with more authors than words
- A book about a horse that destroys the universe, written by a guy who’s famous for making surreal GIFs
