Book Bingo Reading Challenge 2022

I have decided to join the Book Bingo Reading Challenge at Unruly Reader. I learned about this challenge from Cath at Read-warbler and Tracy at Bitter Tea and Mystery who are very ambitious/adventurous in their reading while I tend to alternate between my library books and my TBR (now on a cart to help me prioritize, although there are piles everywhere). Then I realized I had the perfect book to start me off next week, so here we are!

How to Play Book Bingo 2022:

Read a book that fits the category. Each book can qualify for only one category.

Complete just one row or column, or go for blackout by reading a book in every category.

All books must be finished in 2022. Books started in 2021 but finished in 2022 count.

There are some definitions, but you can free-style it if you like—as long as you can make a case that the book fits the category.

All categories can be fiction or nonfiction (your choice), unless otherwise specified.

Some of the categories are obvious:

SYLLABLE AUTHOR SURNAME, COMING OF AGE, SEASONAL.

Other categories are not so obvious:

NEWS = North, East, West, South: fiction or nonfiction book about an event that affects a region.

TIME CAPSULE = A book about another era, which could be time travel or a current-day perspective on an earlier time.

It's not too late.   Sign up at the Introducing Book Bingo 2022 post (in the comments). That post also provides definitions for each category.
