If you’d like to share on social media, please use the hashtag #SBTBingo so we can see how your card is coming along! Participants who complete at least one bingo are eligible for prizes, including stickers, swag, and a big ol’ box o’ books for one lucky winner or two.
The middle space is a free space, meaning any book will qualify there. Also, please use one book per space. No double dipping!
A couple things – Con Tempo Rary is Contemporary Romance. I just couldn’t fit in the space.
Wrong Sibling: Character thinks they’re marrying, talking to, one sibling, but it’s actually the other. An example is a historical romance where the hero thinks he’s marrying one sister, but the twin shows up in her place.
