Bingo 2026

As you may know, Mike and I have a podcast in which we talk about what books and movies we experience called Saturday Night In. Ironically, my husband is not a big reader and I don’t watch a lot of movies anymore. Maybe because of this,or maybe because it gives us a direction,or maybe it has nothing to do with any of those things, but at the beginning of the year,we set goals for ourselves at the beginning of the year.

A few years ago, I made up some Book Bingo cards for the store. It was ment as a way to help readers get outside of the box and expand what we’re reading with prompts. Because my husband is a gamer, I made a video game one and Mike and his friends incorporated it into their podcast, the Backlog Busters.

It’s been so much fun for the Backlog Busters, we decided to make Bingo cards for each other as well as compile lists (Dirty Dozen)for ourselves. We decided include both movies and books on our cards.

The card I made for Mike:

The card Mike made for me:

So far, we are about one month in and excited to blackout our cards and completing the Dirty Dozen lists we made for ourselves (Mike has a movie list and I have both movie and book Dirty Dozen).

Please, feel free to play along with us!
