BDH BINGO

Blog, Fun POST A COMMENT by

Happy Wednesday, Horde!

I’m hosting a little Book Bingo morning to get us through the week hump.

The rules are simple. Tick off every square that applies to you. The central Curran square is free, because the Consort is ever merciful.

  • Five in a row – across, down, or diagonal – and you have BINGO
  • Fill the whole sheet and you have DEVOUR-ALL

You get to brag with your total in the comments and the prize of knowing that you are part of the greatest Horde ever!

A few notes for anyone who needs them:

BDH stands for Book Devouring Horde, the affectionate collective name for Ilona Andrews readers.

HA means House Andrews, aka Ilona and Gordon.

Ship/shipping is a fandom term for a character romance you root for, whether confirmed on the page or not.

There is an accessibility button in the upper-left corner of the site. It can adjust contrast, switch to greyscale, and offer other display options that may help.

How did you do?

  1. This was fun!😁📚
    Well… as a new member of the BDH I got 18 (or was that 19 -brain is not working today!!). I haven’t read all HA’s books yet as Maggie was my intro book, but I’ve since bought Inheritance and the complete Innkeeeper and Hidden Legacy series, so I can devour these while I have to w*it p*tiently before I buy the rest (read: I’m broke now lol! 😅💸)
    I don’t listen to audiobooks so I’m never gonna get DEVOUR-ALL, but I did pretty good I reckon ( or does that mean I’m showing serious signs of needing help already?) 😋🍴

    • Welcome to the Horde! Mod R is wonderful keeping all of use wrangled when needed. However, I think secretly she lets us loose on a lot more occasions than she lets on. 😉

      Enjoy the craziness of being in the Horde. It’s a lot of fun.

  2. Bingo and Bingo and Bingo 🙂 what a wonderful way to start my day. Thank you!!!!!!

  3. I am embarrassed to say I have ALL but 2. I guess I am nto a “hard Core” BDHer

  4. I confess to Devour all. My daughter, who is as yet to be converted, has been heard to tell me there will be ripper cushions.

  7. lol The Horde is fluffy. The Horde is fluffy. Self-reminder for someone with bingo in multiple directions. HA fault really for putting the good stuff in print.A great May to you all.

  8. I am proud to say I have a bingo blackout !!! I am a devoted member of the book devouring horde ♥️

  10. I got 24!!! lol….as I listen to Ruby Fever on my phone for the millionth time….lol 😂

  12. Yeah… okay I got them all!
    OMG! I am obsessed! My kids are correct! 😱 We can never tell them…

  14. 24 out of 25 since I don’t go looking for spoilers at all. Methinks I might have a touch of a problem…

  17. All but audio. I shy away from audio until I get new hearing aids. my husband can’t wait until I get new ones.

  18. I love book bingo! and it’s an HA book bingo?! Swooning for this more than Everard right now.
    Several bingos.
    DEVOUR-MOST. Got 23/25 because I ALWAYS remember when I pre-order a book. (Funny how that square is next to the censored words 😅.) And I get too busy to check the blog some days.

    Also coming to terms with how much I recruit for the BDH and that I’m a high level conspiracy theorist with my fan theories.

  22. I got 19, but does it count that I finally gave up trying to get my kids to read HA and just bought the hard-cover of Maggie and had it shipped to them? Fingers crossed!!

  25. 24! (I try not to check the blog every day because if there is no post then I’m sad 😂)

  26. Well the audio one I can NOT claim as I dont do audio, but otherwise I cringed a bit at my total sublimation into BDH-dom. and who doesn’t say ripper cushions IRL??? I mean really? I say Here Kitty Kitty IRL too, so far no hunky shapeshifters have responded, that I know of. ZenHugs all Round,

  28. Did not fill the whole sheet, but my 14 (plus the merciful Consort!) clearly make a glyph. Now, to figure out the words and gestures and surely HA will—not write faster, but stop being interrupted by health problems! We need them to stay healthy!

  29. Bingo! Lower left to upper right. At least half the others, but not enough in any row.

  30. Missed 2, but that’s okay.
    I’m firmly entrenched in all things BDH and plan to stay that way.
    This is a happy place for me and so many others, well worth the love, care, and respect to keep it this way.
    We can never thank HA and Mod R. enough for the curated happy space they give to us so we buy the books, all the books in different formats, because they are just that amazing, and then re-read them, when new ones appear we hit the pre-orders twice (at least), plus all the other bingo things, and will continue to do so.

  31. i ended up with 23 spaces filled. I don’t do audio books normally. but your snippets do intrgue me. it’s another thing on my “when i hot the lottery” list!

  32. Thanks for the entertainment ModR! 21 and 5 B’s. A side note: TKWNKM is the FIRST audio book I’ve ever completed! They normally put me to sleep. A combination of immersive reading (digital and physical) and activities using a different part of my brain. Sadly, I relate that Kristen once spoke “Silven” instead of “Silveren”.

  33. 23 so I am only mostly obsessed. Lo0ve everything HA. Thank you from Northern BC Canada, for your hard work

  34. Erm, near blackout? All but double pre-order, I have no p*tience and mark those down!

  36. several bingos but only 17. I feel like I’m not holding up my end of the BDH banner!

  37. Got 20 with 4 Bingos. I wasn’t sure I qualified as part of the BDH but, with this count, I guess I truly am!!
    Thanks, this was fun.
    Also thanks for the book recommendation post, filled up my wish list for the rest of the year!!

  41. Craved a dish? Like past tense? LOL, Catalina’s mango habanero salsa has become a favorite. Always been curious what unnamed spices she put in – I just use cumin and ginger usually.

    Dang it, now I’m hungry.

  42. How did I miss Signs of Life free fiction withe Maggie appearing???
    I have insufficiently “hoarded free fiction”! I am still holding on to my BDH membership though. You will have to pry it from my cold, dead hands! 😩

  43. 9 Bingos! 23 spaces. I haven’t read TKWNKM yet! But I have been rereading The Wilmington Years books, finished them and started on another reread!

    But if HA is taking requests…. I would absolutely love more Kate & Curran (favorite ship), Julie & Derrick, and more Willmington books.

    Thank you for the bingo!!!

    Sincerely,
    Ferret Heist Enthusiast <3

  44. The only one I didn’t get was “corrected the audio narrator”because I don’t do audio books!

  45. Just finished listening to Inheritance( yes, listen so I can craft and indulge in great stories). Love the two voice story telling. I do have some questions though and they may be spoilers…..

    Please excuse spelling errors – listening does not give you visual clues to spelling….

    The grey capes… sounds familiar…..

    Interesting Bahachar reference…. and a certain attitude towards a certain merchant…. (laughed at that!)

    Loved it all – can’t wait to see what happens next – please say there will be a sequel!

  46. No Bingos for Little Cindy😢
    I did get 12 out of 24 possible squares. Sigh.
    Loved TKWNKM!! Such fun! Great characters, as usual. Love, love, love the world building! Magic is so hard to make logical and believable. Cause, y’know…Magic!
    Waiting now for book 2.
    P*tiently w*iting.
    W*iting…

  47. every box is ticked except for cry at a death of a favorite character…. wait no…. aunt b gets me every time, but they are angry tears that demand vengeance.

  48. I hope that mod r has you both chained to your desks! and someone else is handling socials… because that book hangover is epic!

  49. “Tried” to double book pre-order?
    I think you mean, ACTUALLY double booked pre-order.
    I sincerely have 2 copies!

  50. only 11, alas. I want all the versions (prefer hard covers), but I don’t get excited about the food, etc

  51. Audio narrator : it’s baba yaGA and baBUshka – every single narrator says baba YAga and BAbushka. I cringe every single time.

  54. 19 with only one bingo.
    I only do e-books, so there went the multiple format and correcting the audio narrator.
    I check the blog 2-3 times a week
    I strongly believe side-characters are side-characters for a reason. I don’t need their entire backstory, I don’t need their POV so I’ll never ask for it. Although I will read and immensely enjoy their POV when it’s offered.
    I skip recepies because I hate to cook.
    I don’t enjoy cliffhangers, but I don’t run from them either.

  55. Bingo with some additional points.
    Also one of the few and rare Asciano/Derek(/+Julie) shippers. sorry not sorry.

  57. Laughed delightedly at the bingo card, 23/25 whoot whoot. Love graphic audio and use HA books to keep long road trips from being lonely and dull.

  59. I am on an Irish knitting tour and I found a fellow BDH!
    I did very well on bingo. Fun!

  60. 21.
    I find myself continually correcting anyone (even the news) when I see/hear repercussions, at least in my mind. (No no no! It’s ripper cushions!!!)

  61. You forgot ‘wishes for amnesia to read again for the first time’… daily mantra for me…lol

  62. Lookit that! I didn’t think I’d get a bingo, but I did. Sadly, not the whole page. I restrain myself too much on villains and preorders.

  63. “Craved a dish from the food scenes”

    Kate’s low country boil from Magic Burns.

    Orro’s great and all, but Kate made things that normal humans cooking in normal human kitchens can access.

    Also, a HA Universes Cookbook. Do you wish to discuss?

  64. all but 3. and actually, thinking about it, I dont have a written wishlist but there is one in my head so … all but 2.

  67. Only missed 2 squares (checked the blog everyday, instant reread). Guess that means I’ve got it bad.
