Update: Wrap Up is up for board 2!
Update: TBR is posted for board 2!
It's official! I have finished the Summer of Swoon bingo board! Summer of Swoon is hosted by shelbytaggartreads on instagram. It runs from June 1st through August 31st. Below is the bingo board blank in case you never saw the original, but Shelby also has recs and the templates in her highlights. Then I'll show my completed board below and well as list out my reads (with links to the reviews) starting from the top left corner and going row by row.
If you've been an avid reader of my blog, you would've noticed lately that some of my reviews have mentioned a board 2. Shelby actually posted a week or so into June that she made two more boards since a lot of people were moving quickly. I have saved the next two boards as well and as I had reads that didn't fit any of my remaining prompts on the first board, I checked to see if they would fit any on the second board. Since I was able to complete the first board before my mid-challenge wrap up, I figured I'd shoot to get at least the second board completed as well. I'll be posting a tbr and mini-update for that board this weekend, so stay tuned for that. Without further ramblings from me, here is my first complete board!

I feel like this challenge had a good mix of genres and definitely encompasses a lot of elements. Like I mentioned above, stay tuned for my tbr for the 2nd bingo board! I'm happy that there were a lot of easily met prompts but also a couple that had me stumped. I also liked that the prompts were varied, covering not only tropes, but covers, authors, publish dates and types. I think Shelby did a great job and I'm happy to finally participate in one of her challenges!
Are you participating in the Summer of Swoon?
Bookishly Yours,
Stasi🍎
