The flowers are blooming, the weather is warming and it’s time for another round of our book bingo challenge. Back by popular demand, you could win a $100 Bookshop.org gift card just by reading this spring. Our printable bingo card has categories across genres to expand your reading goals and is open from now until June 30.
Our last winner was Alison Vornsand, a reader from New Jersey, who was able to cross off bingo squares after reading “Onyx Storm” by Rebecca Yarros (a 2025 release), “Reckless” by Lauren Roberts (in a series) and “The Spanish Love Deception” by Elena Armas (set in a country you’ve never visited), among others.
Now if your TBR pile has you feeling lucky, we’d love to see your submission. Here’s how to enter USA TODAY’s Spring Book Challenge.

How to participate in USA TODAY’s Spring Book Challenge
To submit your bingo card, fill out this entry form and let us know your contact information and what books you’ve read to complete the challenge. Be sure to read all instructions and only fill the form out once.
Our Spring Book Challenge runs through June 30. Anyone who participates and submits their bingo card will be entered into a gift card giveaway. The winner will be notified via email within five business days of the drawing. Check out the full contest rules here. You must be 18 or over to enter.
The challenge includes intentionally varied bingo spaces so readers of all genres can participate. For example, you could read five books and clear the entire top row, or take advantage of the free space in the middle and check off four other boxes. Just know that each box needs to correspond to a different title – no counting one book in multiple boxes! Here’s an example of how I would fill it out:
We’d love it if you also tagged us on social media (@usatodaylife) with your filled out bingo card yourself (here’s how I made this on my Instagram story with screenshotted photos of book covers), but remember you still have to fill out the entry form for a chance at the giveaway.
Looking for your next great read? USA TODAY has you covered.
Taste is subjective, and USA TODAY Books has plenty of genres to recommend. Want a buzzy new title? Check out these new books released in March. Are mysteries your thing? Try these titles similar to “Verity” by Colleen Hoover or see if you’re brave enough for one of our favorite horror novels. Or if you want something with lower stakes and loveable characters, see if a “cozy mystery” or “cozy fantasy” book is for you. If you want the most popular titles, check out USA TODAY’s Best-selling Booklist.
