I am so happy to help promote the Mental Health BookBingo and Challenge for January. To bring awareness to different books featuring mental health representation. I am constantly inspired by Laura (@bbliophile) and so I first started actively trying to read more diverse mental health rep because of her recommendations. Let’s talk bingo boards, features, and hosts!
The Hosts:
Jess @kfjblog
Lili @UtopiaMind
Inge @ingeswonderland
Ayah Assem @DystopianCitzn
Laura @bbliophile
Sar @readtorecover
Wendy @whatthelogsaid
The Readathon:
The bingo is a 5×5 grid where you read prompts for at least one line – this can be horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Please post under the #MHBookBingo so we can see your progress and cheer you on! We’ve also got a Twitter for the bingo which is @BingoMh.
The books do not have to be own voices, but they are always encouraged!
There will also be a GROUP READ this year – we will be posting a poll in the next couple of days to decide what book it is going to be!
My TBR
Am I Normal Yet – OCD
Made You Up – YA with MI
Girls at 17 Swann Street – eating disorder
The Princess Saves Herself in This One – poetry with MI
Weight of Sky – POC with MI
I also want to recommend:

Thank you so much to CW for designing this incredible bingo board for the second year in a row, and to Sar for designing the graphics to go on our Twitter page. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to DM us on Twitter, or leave a comment below! We are so excited to be repeating the bingo this year, and can’t wait to see your TBRs.
This is such an awesome board! I definitely might just have to join, it sounds like a wonderful way to read some great books. It’s also super cool how you guys are doing a group book, I’m excited to see what it is 🙂
If you do, please link me to your TBR so I can see what you’ll be reading! Our group book is DARIUS THE GREAT IS NOT OKAY!
