Repost for @TheAromaofBooks

Whoops, already dropping the ball on posting the #ISpyBingo board each month 😂 Here is January's board!! You can play this however you like - I personally let a single book fill as many prompts as it can, or you can do one prompt per book, whatever you like best!! If you want all 12 boards for the year, let me know and I'll post the link!!

Read4life I loved working the boards all year so I‘d like the link please. 23h

ElizaMarie Can you add me to the tag? I loved doing them in the past, but I forgot to look up the boards. 21h
Faranae Never fear, you'd posted January's board when you announced doing this for 2025, so now I have two copies. I think I'll do it your way - a book can fill as many prompts as it can. Keep it fun and low stress. ❤ 21h
TheAromaofBooks @Read4life @peanutnine @ElizaMarie - Check the link above and let me know if it works?? I think it will take you to the Canva doc where I made all the boards!! But I'm not completely sure if it's the right thing haha 20h
peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks looks good to me! Thanks! 😊 19h
OriginalCyn620 Yay! I‘m in for this year! 😊 13h
Read4life Thank you. Looks good!! 12h
ElizaMarie It works thanks!!!! now

For those of you who like planning ahead - the 2025 #ISpyBingo challenge is now available on Storygraph!!!

https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/85a6eb78-a914-4e84-a200-9073f75...

I am going to TRY to be better about posting each month's board a week or two before the month starts, and tagging those who wish to be tagged 😂 If you want to be on that tag list, let me know!!

The Storygraph link has the “rules“ to this challenge ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) which, like most of my challenges, are pretty loosey-goosey haha

But the basics are that items can be found anywhere on the outside of the book (front, back, spine) unless specified otherwise. Any item can be either a picture of that item OR the word (so a candle or the word candle) unless the item is listed in quotation marks, which means you have to find those exact words.

If you would like to see the entire year of bingo boards ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) here is a Canva link that should let you view/screenshot them -

https://www.canva.com/design/DAGVO4NctsY/-lGsmflP3sUW9FsAung8hg/view?utm_content...

You can do one board a month or work on all 12 the whole year. Or you can be complicated like me and start each month's board on the first of the month, but give yourself an entire year to clear it to keep things fresh 😁 ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Literally whatever works for you!! Let me know if you have any questions or if a link doesn't work or if there is a glaring spelling error, etc. Happy searching!!

Deblovestoread Joined on Storygraph. Please add me to your tagged list. 1mo
PuddleJumper Is there a place with all this year's boards? I've not been keeping up but I'm gonna use them for extra points 😂 1mo
willaful What a nice job you did on the boards! I can see the advantage of Canva. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @willaful - Thank you!! I had wayyyy too much fun picking backgrounds, and Canva does a thing when you are picking your font color where it has several colors that are IN the background, so I got to have matching fonts, too 😂 1mo
julieclair Thanks for doing all 12 boards at once! I‘ve joined the SG challenge. Please tag me here on Litsy, too. Thanks, Sarah! 😃 4w

Two bingos, an excellent month for me! But how irritating that I read two graphic novels this month that showed pictures of students with tons of objects on the cover and neither of them had a laptop or scissors or a freakin' apple. One didn't even make the board!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Looking great!! 1mo

So I've fallen a bit off the bandwagon with the #ISpyBingo challenge this year, but here is December's board - anyone is welcome to participate!!

I have refreshed this challenge for 2025 and will be posting 12 new boards!! I seem to have lost the tag list for this challenge, if I ever had one (lol) so please let me know if you'd like to be tagged with the 2025 boards coming as soon as I finish getting this challenge loaded onto Storygraph. ⬇

TheAromaofBooks @Clowjick came up with the idea for this challenge and I cohosted with her last year, but she's busy with real life these days and has told me I am free to take over the challenge so here we are 😂 I'm pretty stoked about the 2025 boards as I really enjoy this challenge.

At any rate, feel free to use this one for WinterGames or just for fun. Every book can mark off more than one item. These items need to be on the cover of the book, can be on ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) the front, back, or spine!! Let me know if you have any questions - happy spying!! 1mo
PuddleJumper Yay another board! I'm doing the whole challenge as a year long thing rather than month by month. I wouldn't get any of the prompts that way. Got 184/300 so far 😅 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper - I've been doing the same thing. But I think next year I'm going to start a new one every month, but give myself a whole year to clear it. So I start January on 1/1/25 and have to be done by 12/31/25, but February starts 2/1/25 and has to be done by 1/31/26. I cleared sooo many prompts in January/February/March last year and then the rest of year hasn't been as fun 😂 1mo
Sarahreadstoomuch I enjoy the #ISpyBingo too, but I‘m not great about posting my progress. As much as I meant to start a new board each month and go back to complete older ones, I totally forgot and will do a better job in 2025! I see your wrap-around approach, or really a year for each board… and I might do that too…. Depends on how my logs line up! lol 1mo
LiseWorks I love the#ISpyBoards but really can't finish them in a month, so I have been working on them. I have Jan to July all done. I can't wait for the Dec 1mo
Read4life Please tag me!!! Thanks. 1mo
willaful please tag me. 1mo
peanutnine Woohoo this challenge has been fun! I've been working through all the boards all year and I've managed to get a bunch filled! Please tag me for next year ☺️ 1mo
Faranae Add me to the taglist! 1mo
BarbaraBB I‘d like to give it a try again! Are you on Storygraph again as well? 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraBB - It will be!! I'm slowly getting all the prompts entered haha 1mo
willaful Tag me please. 1mo
MatchlessMarie Tag me for the 2025 boards please! 4w

I feel like I should have done better, as a retired school librarian. And having been a librarian I‘m not really surprised at any of the books on the list. People will complain about the weirdest things. #IReadBannedBooks #TLT #ThreeListThursday

Here‘s three of my favs from the list
📖 Speak
📖 Monster
📖 Eleanor and Park

dabbe Same here, as a retired English teacher! More for our TBR? Or not. Thanks for playing and sharing! 🧡🤎💛 3mo

I've really been a poor host for this challenge this year 😂 But if anyone is interested, here's August's #ISpyBingo board!! I've been playing all the boards all year, so I've kind of forgotten that some people may prefer to see each month's board!!

@LiseWorks

LiseWorks Oh thank you lol I've been trying to all of them. And for some reason I lost August. 5mo
PuddleJumper I've been playing this as a year long challenge. No way I was gonna get any bingos monthly 😂 5mo
