Bingo--that's where! Welcome to Retreat's Reading Bingo Challenge 2014. We've created a printable bingo card with 24 reading challenges! Join us and challenge yourself to read more, to read more widely and to have fun doing it all!

You can approach the Reading Bingo card however you like: beginners, start by getting one line; if you're more advanced, try the whole outside box on the card; experts, fill in the whole card!

We would recommend using one book per space, but if you read a book over 500 pages written by someone under 30, who are we to stop you from cover two squares with one read?

This year, for a little extra challenge, we've also created the Reading Bingo Card: YA Edition! We've come up with 24 challenges related specifically to books geared to teens. But you don't have to be a teenager to participate!

Which card are you going to try your hand at? The original Reading Bingo 2014 card? The YA card? Both? Let us know in the comments below.

Come back here often--we'll be giving suggestions for reads that fit the various criteria in case you get stuck--or join the conversation on social media using #ReadingBingo to show us pictures, crowdsource your next read or just brag about how many squares you've covered! We also have a discussion board on Goodreads! We love to hear which books you're reading and how many squares you're covering so keep us updated as you go! We'll keep you updated with our progress, too!

Ready? Grab your Reading Bingo card and lets get reading!

10 Books for the Geek in All of Us tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.3636479 2013-07-22T17:00:23-04:00 2013-09-21T05:12:02-04:00 Retreat by Random House http://www.huffingtonpost.com/retreat-by-random-house-/ Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and don't forget the bestselling Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. These are just two of their many fabulous books.

If you've ever connected with Quirk online, via their blog or any of their social media channels, then you've chatted with Eric Smith. He often refers to himself as a geek, so much so that he's written a book all about his people! This winter be sure to check out his newest book called The Geek's Guide to Dating (in stores December 3rd). That's why we thought it made perfect sense to reach out to the guy who speaks geek and ask for his geeky book recommendations.

Great Father's Day Books tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.3443964 2013-06-14T17:53:03-04:00 2013-08-14T05:12:02-04:00 Retreat by Random House http://www.huffingtonpost.com/retreat-by-random-house-/ This post originally appeared on retreatbyrandomhouse.ca

Dads are so hard to shop for, aren't they? I'm pretty sure I gave my Dad a new tie for every major holiday for a 10 year span! But Father's Day is their day to be celebrated for all the things (big and small) they do for us. So why not get him a new book to enjoy and relax with? Whether your dad is a fiction fan, non-fiction nut, sports fiend or maybe a new dad the gallery below is full of ideas! So put down the socks and head to your nearest bookstore.
