Picture Prompt Book Bingo Challenge for 2025

 This was a new one to me this past year. I will be joining again. 

If you’re new to the Picture Prompt Bingo – it’s a loosey goosey reading challenge in which you match up books that you’ve read with pictures on the bingo card. The key thing being that you can be as creative in your interpretation of the picture as you like. For example, looking at the flint knapped knife blade in the top left corner: this could suggest to you a book that was set in a prehistoric(-like) period, or a story about a character who practises a craft or specialist skill; you may read something that has the word ‘knife’ in the title; or perhaps you’ll read a book about an ancient item being rediscovered. As long as you’re happy with the connection you make between the book and the image, it’s all good.
