Dear reader,
There’s a buzz and tingle in the air. A crackling of magics. Of newness. And of nostalgia and reflection too. It’s time for reflection, for rejuvenation, for bidding goodbye and saying hello. The most magical of months — December!
Which means it is also time for me to unveil a whole new set of prompts for the 2025 Book Bingo reading challenge!
This is the sixth year of this challenge, and I’m so thrilled to have you all along with me on this reading journey.
I will continue to send out one newsletter a month. As I have done all of this year, I’ll share mini reviews from the books I’ve read each month on my blog, and encourage you to share your reading lists with me in the comments of those posts.
I will also continue to share book recommendations based on this year’s Book Bingo prompts, of course. The fun little extras, like some bookish quotes, a poem of the month, and links to interesting things will also continue.
Next year, I also plan to send out 2-3 special editions with seasonal or themed recommendations, like the Special Edition I had sent out in 2023, with recommendations on Books on Palestine.
I hope you enjoyed the challenge this year, and that you will join me again next year! Check out the prompts + all the details of the challenge on my website.
Please invite your book loving friends to join us. You can send them a direct link to the Book Bingo 2025 post or forward this e-mail and ask them to join in on the fun. If you’re reading this within the Substack app, please consider restacking this post to Notes. Let’s gather all the book nerds together!
I’ll see you back here towards the end of the month, with our final issue of 2024.
xx,
Shinjini
