may bingo board: complete ✨

i filled every square this month.

honestly, one of the best things about these bingo boards has been discovering books i probably wouldn't have reached for otherwise. i'm learning what i like, what i don't, and giving new authors and series a chance.

this month taught me that i love sci-fi a lot more in movies and shows than i do in books. at least so far.

but maybe that's just a sign that i should try writing the sci-fi story i wish existed.

on to next month's board.
