I got really into creating BINGO boards for myself this past year, so of course I needed to put together some for 2026 as well. In 2025, I made 3 year-long boards: bookish items, personal items & predictions for what would happen. My results were hit and miss for the year across all three boards.

This year I am doing new BINGO boards for these categories as well as creating a bucket list board of big dreams and a blogging board as well. I am sharing all of my boards below except for my predictions board. I don’t know a lot of pop culture stuff, so that board is pretty political and I’ll just keep those contents to myself for now.
