Looking for the best summer reading challenge for women? Want to escape into beach reads, heartwarming stories, and compelling page turners? Do you like entering giveaways to win paperbacks and bookish swag?
Then you’re in the right place. Welcome to Beach Reads Bingo, a fun, free summer reading game designed especially for women who want to relax, recharge, and fall in love with their TBR again.
Whether you’re going to the beach, hanging out by the pool, or savoring a few minutes alone on the porch, this challenge is for women who enjoy reading and appreciate the temporary escape a well-written book provides.
What is Beach Reads Bingo?
It’s a simple, bookish bingo game you can play all summer long. Each square on the bingo card represents a fun reading prompt such as:
- A book that takes place at the beach
- Read a sports romance
- A book that includes a lighthouse
You choose books that match the prompts and work toward bingo rows, columns, or even a blackout if you’re feeling ambitious! You can fill in your bingo card by reading books that match your summer mood, whether that’s a sweet small-town romance, a story of second chances, or a juicy memoir. Lately, my most enjoyable reading experiences include an audiobook so you are more than welcome to count listening to a book as reading.
There’s no pressure, just fun. And yes, there are prizes. Every month, I’ll be hosting exclusive giveaways for bingo participants.
