My column A, and row 3, both have 4 squares done. I also have one alternate square done, so I can complete my Bingo any time I want! Going to wait till the end though, may complete those boxes anyway.

Thank you u/misericordiae for posting this.
This year ended up being a hard one for me to keep up with reading, seriously I’ve been on the same novella for a month because of other responsibilities. I’ve got my Bingo and have completed 9 squares. Normally I’m a Bingo completionist (when I was doing r/Fantasy’s on The other site), this year I’m not sure I’ll manage to complete it.
Don't worry, it happens. Just a part of life. There's always going to be next year.
I'm currently at 20/25 squares (16/20 hard mode, 8/20 from pre-existing TBR pile). I've been enjoying bingo, but since I've focused on it pretty much exclusively, I'm also looking forward to reading other things.
In a couple of cases, I've had trouble finding something I want to read (particularly hard modes), so I already have a few notes about improving that for next year.
I have one Bingo (the top row) so far and 9 total squares filled. Definitely not expecting to fill the whole board, but I'm hoping to get at least one or two more bingoes complete. It's been fun sitting down and seeing what square I can assign each book to as I read!
Thanks for the post (and for all your work on Book Bingo) @misericordiae@literature.cafe !
I have completed about 9 squares (4 hard mode!), and 10th will be done soon. That's my next planned book. No bingo yet though, but there's still plenty of time. Have also done one alternate tile, so can just swap it with some uncompleted one if I get stuck.
One question: For 1E: It takes two, can other author be illustrator? Or they have to be the "author"?
I think that would absolutely qualify.
Perfect. Have 5 hard mode then!

Good question! I don't think we were looking at the square from that perspective. Probably something for @JaymesRS@literature.cafe to weigh in on, honestly. Personally, I don't think stretching the square to include illustrators is a problem, especially if the illustrations add to the experience significantly and/or in collaboration with the text. Graphic novels and picture books would be the obvious yeses from that perspective, but whatever you think qualifies would also be good with me.
Cool!
