2013 Book Bingo

2013 Bingo Challenge Button-01

I'm not sure how far I'm going to get in this one since I don't really plan on doing much if any rereading this year, but I like the idea of Bingo and crossing things off.  Plus, this will incorporate books that are in my to read pile but don't fit into the Keyword Challenge, thus giving me even more motivation to read these other books.  Books can't count for more than one square, but I can count books from other challenges, fortunately.

I too would very much like to know how you're managing to cross the squares out like that. I currently have my Bingo card in a Word Document (complete with the list of books I've read and are planning to read) and as I "cross" off a square, I grey out the background of it. But this is much cooler, and I would need to be able to do it to brag on my blog about my progress.

Pretty please let me know how to do it. :)
