‘Fantasy February’ – Book Bingo

0 Comments

Welcome to another book bingo board! This month, we’re diving into Fantasy February. Towards the end of 2024, while enjoying my spooky reads, I started to feel like I was entering my Fantasy Era—especially with so many enticing new releases.

Recommendations

If there’s a prompt where I can share recommendations, I’ll be sure to do so. This month’s bingo board focuses on reading fantasy, which is such a wide-ranging genre. Some books might fit more than one prompt—for example, a book featuring a mythical creature could also qualify as a romantasy. However, I’ve managed to avoid duplicating any recommendations.

TBR / What I Read Cards

As always, I’ve created these boards to help you build your TBR or track what you’ve read. You can also upload them to share on your Instagram stories!

February’s Goal

The goal this month is to broaden my fantasy reading. I’ve been itching to dive into a few of the books I’ve chosen for the prompts on this bingo board. I’m also hoping to check off a couple from my 25 for 2025 list—namely, the next volume of A Cat From Our World and The Forgotten Witch, and starting the Once Upon A Broken Heart series.

What books come to mind for this boards prompts?

And that’s the “Fantasy February” book bingo board! I’d love to hear your thoughts, and if you decide to play along, please tag me on Instagram @afictionalplace.

As always, thanks for reading…
