It's official! My first summer reading challenge is complete! Below is my completed bingo board. I'll list them in order by rows starting with the top left with the book and what prompt I covered it with. I had a lot of fun and was happy to end up finishing it quicker than I expected. My goal was to finish by mid-July. Thankfully things worked out perfect and I ended it on the last day of June! If you are interested, the challenge runs through the end of August so there's still time to join! It's hosted on Instagram by the lovely Lexy, Esther, Anna, Marianne, Alicia and Michelle!

That's all 25 prompts! I hope that if you are still working on or are interested in joining the challenge these can help give some options if you're still looking to fill a prompt. Also check out my original tbr and mid-challenge update for more recommendations. You can complete the challenge a second time (or how ever many you'd like), but since I have two other challenges still going on I'm going to focus on completing those first. I had a lot of fun and I'm glad that this was able to prompt me to read some books I might not pick up right away or gravitate too. I've also enjoyed following the hosts, they were all new to me at the start, and they've added quite a bit to my tbr lately. If anything, certainly give them a follow for some great bookstagram content!
Bookishly Yours,
Stasi🍎
