In her 2020 reading plans Imyril from There is Always Room for One More shared a backlist bingo card for 2020 that she was going to focus on. We were all invited to join. And you all know me, I can’t quite step away from a challenge. It is a problem.
The bingo card focuses on some backlist sf books as late as 2019. I do need to read some more sci-fi so I hope this bingo card will help me a little.
I have ideas for some prompts and not so much for others. So we will see how far I will get.

The SciFi content in the later Pern books after the prequel is next to nothing, so don’t expect futuristic elements, although being pure Fantasy will be making you happy. 😁
Good luck! This looks like fun. 👍✨

Either way is fine for me but with the sci-fi at the start at least it works for this challenge 😀
