allbingoAugust's Bingo Fest is the British Library Crime Classics Bingo, with titles taken from the very long catalogue of books. Publication began in 2014 and every month a new book is published. These are all from the Golden Age of crime (approximately 1920s to 1950s), most books are full length novels, but there are also a number of short story collections. Details are available on the British Library website.
You are welcome to use whichever medium you like for completing a bingo. The fest will run from 1 August to 31 August.
The list of prompts is below, together with a sample card, but you are very welcome to make your own card as well.
And if you post to AO3, then do feel free to add to the allbingo collection.
