Halloween Bingo 2017 - Keeping track

7:45 pm 4 September 2017

After giving this some thought and getting inspiration from fellow BookLikers, I've come up with the following two-fold system for tracking Bingo this year.

The spreadsheet (Books that have been read are linked to my reviews):

And the Bingo Card:

To keep this relatively simple, for my digital card, I've come up with three visual states:

Called and read: my official bingo markers.

My card as of October 31st:
