Welcome to 2026, fellow Littens! I love the #ispybingo challenge run by @TheAromaofBooks so I couldn‘t help but make a few of my own when she so awesomely offered. 😂

Let‘s do some traveling this year! Most of the prompts will be found within books. For each of the 7 continents, the book can be set there or the author can be from there. Please tag me if you participate because I‘d love to see everyone‘s progress. Happy reading!

This board is all about food - most items can be found on covers, but some will be found within. Please tag me if you participate because I‘d love to see everyone‘s progress. Happy reading!

Welcome to 2026, fellow Littens! I love the #ispybingo challenge run by @TheAromaofBooks so I couldn‘t help but make a few of my own when she so awesomely offered. 😂

This board celebrates the books we read - some items are about the outside of the books, but most will be found within. Please tag me if you participate because I‘d love to see everyone‘s progress. Happy reading!

Faranae I wonder how many of these I'll be able to pull off from OpenLibrary loans. 😄 2w
willaful @Faranae these are a bit harder for those of us who do ebooks, but I enjoy a challenge. 😁 2w
julieclair This board sounds like a perfect excuse to buy more books! 🤣🤣🤣 2w
OriginalCyn620 @Faranae @willaful @julieclair Just have fun with it! Heck, I‘m not even sure how well I‘ll do with this! 🤣 2w

Welcome to 2026, fellow Littens! I love the #ispybingo challenge run by @TheAromaofBooks so I couldn‘t help but make a few of my own when she so awesomely offered. 😂

This one is for romance readers, and all the items should be found on the covers of your romance books. Please tag me if you participate because I‘d love to see everyone‘s progress. Happy reading!

LiseWorks I sure hope to remember to tag you lol 2w
Faranae I started to think “oh no but I don't read the kind of romance with bare chests on the cover“, and then I remembered the very deceptive cover of Sailor's Delight. 😂 2w

julieclair I love all of these new boards! 💗 2w
OriginalCyn620 @LiseWorks And I hope to remember to tag you on your board 🤣 2w
OriginalCyn620 @julieclair thank you! 😊 2w
OriginalCyn620 @Faranae I‘m not familiar with that cover but I‘m intrigued! 😂 2w
Faranae @OriginalCyn620 At some point, I need to add the book to Litsy. It's a slow-burn, 0 spice m/m historical romance, with this cover https://www.roselerner.com/bookshelf/sailors-delight/ 2w
OriginalCyn620 @Faranae Oh my, that definitely works! 😜 2w

Okay, #ISpyBingo friends, here is the update!!

The link to the Canva doc with all the monthly boards can be found here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG5PPdNjC4/oXfDf-ejCvqVBEhAdE8kgg/edit?utm_content...

This year I have also made several bonus boards. @OriginalCyn620 and @LiseWorks have also added bonus boards (YAY!!!). All of those boards can be found at the Canva link below ⬇

TheAromaofBooks https://www.canva.com/design/DAG6dKVA4-s/RItdXOjMMIFPwrfpYUpMTw/edit?utm_content...

This challenge is also (FINALLY) live on Storygraph! I have listed ALL the monthly prompts. Several of the bonus boards have been listed as bonus prompts. However, the boards that focus more on the book as an whole rather than just finding things on the cover I have not listed in the SG challenge because it gets a little confusing 😂 Those boards are still in the ⬇
2w
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Canva doc, and hopefully that all makes sense!!

Here is the Storygraph link: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/0be468bf-98c4-44b0-9c2a-cc6410f...

Let me know if you have any questions!!! I'm super stoked about another year of hunting for random cover items with you all. Why is it so addictive?! 😂

repost for @TheAromaofBooks

Okay friends, I've created another Canva document, this one with bonus #ISpyBingo boards!! These boards each have a theme and are 4x4. These are “optional“ boards (as opposed to the monthly boards, which of course are REQUIRED OR ELSE 😂) I will post the link, and I'm also going to go ahead and upload each board onto Litsy next, but I am not going to tag everyone on every board.

See her thread for links & more boards

TheAromaofBooks Thank you so much for the repost!! 1mo

TheAromaofBooks I tried to mix in some new prompts, shuffle some prompts into different months, and move them all around 😂 But there will definitely be lots of repeats from last year because I do NOT have the creativity to come up with 300 new prompts every year haha 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Also, does anyone have any interest in some “bonus“ boards that would be themed? Like an animal board, a crime board, a romance board, etc? 2mo
LiseWorks I never realized there were 300 yikes! You're doing a great job 2mo
LiseWorks Bonus boards would be really 😎 🆒️ cool 2mo
Lauredhel Thanks! And yes, I love a bonus card! 2mo
OriginalCyn620 Yay for new boards! I‘m all for bonus boards, but you‘re already doing so much, so I hate to ask. Bu4 if they‘re made I‘ll definitely participate 😊 2mo
peanutnine I agree with @OriginalCyn620 - themed boards sound fun, but not at the expense of your sanity 😜 Thanks for organizing this massive fun challenge!! 2mo
julieclair Yay! I love working on all the boards all year long. Bonus boards sound great, too! My goodness gracious, this is a lot of work for you. Many thanks for continuing to host this challenge that we all love. 💙📚💙 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @LiseWorks @Lauredhel @OriginalCyn620 @peanutnine @julieclair - I honestly love this challenge and find it super fun to make the cards, so it's a good time 😂 What are your ideas for themed cards? And/or prompts for them? I thought about categories or doing them by genre and you can only use a book from that genre to check the prompt? So the crime board can only be cleared with mystery/thrillers. But is that too limiting? 2mo
Lauredhel @TheAromaofBooks just here to vote against specific-genre cards! One thing I love about this challenge is that you are free to use books from any genre. (Mainly just don't make me read a whole card of crime books, or worse, Literary) 2mo
BarbaraBB Very happy with this! Can‘t wait for the Storygraph version! Thank you so much for all the work you put into this! 2mo
OriginalCyn620 I do like the idea of genre cards. For example, I read mostly mystery/thriller and romance, so I‘d concentrate on those two mostly. But all genres are possible boards - fantasy, horror, science fiction, nonfiction, etc., so there can be a potential genre specific board for everyone, no matter they like to read! And they‘re bonus boards so it should be low pressure anyway! Also, you can make those smaller - 3x3 or 4x4 2mo
OriginalCyn620 Other ideas: 1) animal theme with domestic, wild, and exotic animals 2) Around the World - settings or authors from various countries (maybe represent all 7 continents) 3) foodie board - certain foods on the cover, cooking plays a central part of the plot, or an MC is a chef, etc 4) an I Spy about the actual books themselves - Deckled edges, signed editions, painted edges, special editions, book that was gifted to you, built in bookmark, etc 2mo
LiseWorks I love the Genra idea, even if it takes a year to clear the board. What about a series board. I read a lot of series books. A prompt, and it belongs to a series. 2mo
willaful I like all the ideas. I can ignore the genres I don't read much. (I feel you about literary @Lauredhel ! 😆 )

I enjoyed the smaller bonus boards we had last year.
2mo
TheAromaofBooks @OriginalCyn620 - Oh my gosh, you have so many fun ideas!!! I was thinking of Down on the Farm with things like farm animals, tractors, vegetables, etc. Birthday Bash with things like cake, balloons, confetti, etc. On the Road with things like different kinds of vehicles and landmarks. More ideas than I probably can wrestle into usability 😂 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Friends, I would like to open this up!!! If you have an idea for a board, please make it!!! Or, if you don't want to mess around with Canva or whatever, you can tell me your title and prompts and I can fit them into a board for you. Just comment here what subject/idea you are going to do so we don't double up too much. Boards can be 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5. If you want to email me a set of prompts or a board, itsthegoodlife15 at gmail These will be ⬇ 2mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) optional bonus boards, not included in the “official“ monthly challenge/Storygraph. Just for those of us who are a little crazy 😂 2mo
LiseWorks Ha! I'm a little crazy and will work on a board for book series and email you it, I don't understand canvas or whatever but I will send you something soon. 😉 2mo
LiseWorks @OriginalCyn620 I I love your ideas, please make some boards 😃 2mo
willaful @LiseWorks awesome! 2mo
OriginalCyn620 @TheAromaofBooks I love those ideas of yours too! I can try my hand at making the boards that I mentioned in Canva…I‘m not too proficient but if I play around with it I think I can do it! 😂 2mo
OriginalCyn620 @LiseWorks Thanks…I will certainly try! 2mo
LiseWorks I sent you a bingo board series. Hope you like it and let me know if you got it 2mo
rockpools Please could I be added to the tag list for next year? Thank you ☺️ 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @LiseWorks - Thank you!! I got it and will type it up - I am going to create a second Canva doc with our bonus boards!! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @rockpools - Absolutely!! 1mo
LiseWorks Oh goof! I can't wait to see it all typed. @TheAromaofBooks 1mo
LiseWorks I meant good! 😆 @TheAromaofBooks 1mo
BarkingMadRead Looking forward to another year! 1mo
ImperfectCJ May I please be added to the tag list for 2026? 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @ImperfectCJ - Absolutely!! I TRY to remember to post the monthly ones about a week before the month starts, but I'm not completely consistent 😂 So you may wish to download them from Canva for yourself just in case!! And I posted some bonus boards today as well!! 1mo
ImperfectCJ @TheAromaofBooks I already downloaded all of them (I'm a planner, for better or worse). :-) 1mo
