Welcome to Forgotten YA Gems’ fifth annual Reading Bingo Challenge!

There are a lot of ways you can customize your challenge with length and number of books read. Whether you’re reading 8 books or 24, one month or all season, we hope you’ll join us!

Guidelines

Choose your card! We have options for small (8 books), medium (16 books), and large (24 books) cards.

The challenge begins June 1, 2023 and officially ends August 31, 2023, although you're welcome to set a different time limit if you want it to be more challenging!

You can join the challenge at any time! There is no deadline.

You’re welcome to read whatever you like for the challenge, from picture books to YA to adult. If you want to make things extra challenging and really target that backlist, you can stick to the group guidelines (five years or older and YA/MG/NA), but how you play is up to you!

Each book only counts for one square, so choose carefully!

If you’re good with a photo editor you can update your Bingo card with each book you’ve read.

Have questions? Andrea @thelivebookproject, Carrie @brightbeautifulthings, and Lore @cementeriodelibrosolvidads are happy to help!

“Well, it has ended now.”

Goodreads is an excellent source for many bookish needs, from organizing all your books to keeping track of your massive TBR list to discovering new books. But one of my favorite features are the Groups. One of things I miss about being in literature class is having a place to discuss books with a group of people. But a busy adult life make it difficult for me to join an in-person book club. Instead, I’m a member of several Goodreads Groups, which allows me the freedom to participate if and when I can, and still gives me that thorough discussion I miss from lit classes.

If you’re also in need of a place to discuss and discover new books, then here’s a guide to finding the perfect Goodreads Group for you.

Forgotten YA Gems is now on Discord! Join us for discussions!

We’re a Goodreads/Discord group that reads YA, NA, or MG books that are at least five years old. While not necessarily “forgotten” (as many of them have lovely fanbases here on Tumblr), we focus on backlist books that aren’t getting the same attention as new releases. Feel free to join us to vote on group reads, participate in challenges, and talk about books!

Spring’s theme is 🌈 Pride 🌈, and our group reads are Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann, Luna by Julie Anne Peters, and Strange Grace by Tessa Gratton.
