This is the bingo challenge made by @diversify.yo.bookshelf on Instagram!  The post is here!

Greetings, everyone! First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR. We hope 2021 will treat us better.

And second: welcome to DIVERSIFY YO' BOOKSHELF BINGO 2021!!!!!

Quite a mouthful, we must admit.🤣😅 Some of you may know, some of you may not but Nuša created a Diversity Bingo 2020 (inspired by Diversity Bingo 2017 - original creators are listed below) and of course we wanted to do one for 2021 as well (but with a lil' name change😁). So, do you share our new year resolution of reading more diverse books? Then this is the bingo for you.☺️

It's pretty obvious how this works but just in case we'll explain: the goal is to cover all 36 squares by the end of 2021. You find a book that matches a prompt (different book for each prompt), you read said book and check off the square the book matches. And that's it! 😁 We encourage you to pick up Own Voices books! Also, support your local bookstores!! But most importantly: HAVE FUN!!!

If you'll participate, please use #DYBBingo2021 & tag us so we can see and share your progress! 😁 If you're struggling to find the right book for a prompt, you can always check out our themed recommendations posts (we already have some up, but our plan is to post recommendations for each prompt).☺️

Just in case you don't know what these mean:
✨MC = main character 
✨BIPOC = Black, Indigenous and person of color
✨SFF= science fiction & fantasy
✨Own Voices = authors from marginalized groups writing about their own experience/from their own perspective (i. e. a Black author writes about a Black character)
