The HSL 2019 Reading Challenge

I may not be a parent--let alone a homeschooling one-- but I like Bingo reading challenges and I haven't found very many this year (I'll miss Full House) so I am doing this one.  All of the categories are of interest to me and I will fill as many of them as possible. (You can download a copy of the Bingo card here.)

 Scroll to the bottom of this post if you want to download a PDF copy for yourself. New year, new books! For some people, the end of the year means holiday treats, celebrations, time with family and friends — and that’s all nice, but real book nerds know that winter break is really all about putting together your dream TBR list for the coming year.If you, too, are looking for a way to organize your (endless) reading lists for 2019, consider our Reading Challenge Bingo — it’s flexible enough to work for you and your younger readers and a fun way to keep track of what you’re reading throughout the year. You can be as ambitious as you like: Complete the whole card by reading 25 books, or just complete a row or two. Your 3rd grader can tackle the challenges, your high schooler can fill out her own card, and you can take this challenge on yourself. Keep your scorecards on the fridge and plan celebrations when you hit major milestones or offer prizes for the first person to get three in a row or another accomplishment you choose. 
Ideally, this challenge will give you an excuse to check out a
few books you wanted to read anyway and point you toward
a few books that you might not have picked up otherwise.
And since it involves reading, everybody wins!

Have fun. I suspect that book titles starting with Z are rare.

Titles starting with X are much harder t find.
