Hey everyone, we're juuuuust over halfway through our second books@lemmy.world community book bingo challenge! If you haven't joined in yet, there's still plenty of time. You might've even already made progress by accident: anything you've read since May has the potential to count! The challenge only requires completing five squares in a line.

If you're already working on bingo, how's it going so far? Doing any fun themes? Having trouble?

The last day of bingo is April 30th; there'll be a turn-in post near the beginning of April. Even if you don't end up finishing the challenge, we'd love to hear from you!

On behalf of myself, Dresden, and JaymesRS, thanks for stopping in, and happy reading!

Stumbled upon this and thought to fill out a card. Im 7 or 8 from completing the card (need to check if any of my reads are self-published), and I have three BINGOes (both diagonals and the bottom row).

I'm very annoyed that I havent read an author who lives on another continent AND no LGBTQIA+ since May.

I want to give a shout out to Jane Philpott, Health For All as my pick for A5. If you havent read it, regardless of whether you're Canadian, give it a go. Americans, you especially. Canada's healthcare system is by no means perfect. Her efforts to make it better, and the road she has walked to get there are legendary. She is Batman without the billions, a legitimate superhero. If only she could get Canada in general, and Ontario in particular, to listen.

The challenge she overcame was one of moral courage, supporting Jody Wilson-Raybould in leaving Cabinet. The book is full of other challenges she overcame or is currently rising toward.

Welcome! Impressive progress, especially for filling it in retroactively. Do you think you'll try to do more, or call it good?

I'll have a look at Health for All, thanks for the rec.
