Welcome to Roar Cat Reads’ first annual Summer Book Bingo competition!

There’s no better time to expand our reading horizons than summertime, so I have created an LGBTQ+ Summer Book Bingo card to inspire readers to try a new genre or new format. And while reading is it’s own reward, why not get a prize as well?

Share what you’re reading with the hashtag #RCRBookBingo2021 on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

How to Play

Books can only be used once per card, and all books read must be by or about an LGBTQIA2S+ person.

How do I win?

Bingo: Complete a line by reading a book that matches each square’s theme. A line can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. Turn in your card to be featured in Roar Cat Reads’ Summer Wrap Up blog post and be entered into a drawing for a $10 gift card to the book store of your choice!

Blackout: Complete all 25 squares! Turn in your card to be entered into a grand prize drawing which will include a $25 gift card to a book store of your choice as well as a special Roar Cat Reads prize!

How do I turn in my card?

When you’ve completed a Bingo or Blackout, email roarcatreads@gmail.com to submit your entry! Your email must include the following information to be considered valid:

• The author and title of the book you read.
• Which square this book applies to.

Bonus! If you also post a picture of your completed card on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram using the hashtag #RCRBookBingo2021, your name will be entered into the drawing twice!

Entries must be received by August 31, 2021 to be considered for the drawing.

If you have any questions, email roarcatreads@gmail.com.

Happy reading!
