Fall is beginning, we can feel it, sense it in our bones. Maybe because we're old now or becuase that crisp air and leaves and all the cozy, dark reads are calling to us! Either way, it's time for BINGO! September's Book Bingo will take place from September 1 to September 30, and each "Bingo" you get enters you into the running for a selected prize from us! Go for a coverall, where you fill the whole board, and get entered for a special prize. Here are the rules... There are 25 squares to our Book Bingo card. There is 1 READ Space, it's a little square of love so that you can get one step close to a bingo by reading any book you want! To get bingo you need to complete 5 squares in a row. You cannot  use the same book to complete multiple squares. Each square has a different requirement you must fulfill if you choose that path. For the overachieving... Coverall! Complete all 25 squares, without using a book for multiple squares. Now for how the bingo game goes... Each time you complete a square, post to your Instagram story or feed and tag @TheCraftyBookstore! Each person who completes a traditional Bingo will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month! Each person who gets a Coverall will also be entered into a drawing for their own special prize! Screenshot your bingo card from here or head over to our Instagram @TheCraftyBookstore and check out our story highlights to get your card today! This month we have a story template again for you to use if you'd like! Now go mark those bingo cards!
