The Sapphic Book Bingo is a reading challenge hosted by author Jae at jae-fiction.com. Readers fill a bingo card by reading books that match specific tropes or categories — such as "Enemies to Lovers," "Small Town," or "Historical."
This site is a companion tool to help you discover books that fit each square, track your progress, and connect with the community. Official challenge rules, prizes, and printable cards are available on Jae's website.
Go to Browse Books in the sidebar. The search bar at the top lets you type any part of a title, author name, trope, or audiobook narrator — results update as you type.
You can combine the search bar with the filters below it:
- Trope dropdown — filter to books matching a specific trope (e.g. "Slow Burn," "Fake Dating")
- Publication Year — narrow results by when the book was published
- Challenge Year — show only books relevant to a specific year's bingo card tropes
- Sort — order by recently added, title A–Z, author, or publication year
Use the Trope dropdown in the Browse Books toolbar. Selecting a trope — such as Enemies to Lovers or Found Family — will show only books tagged with that trope.
You can also combine the trope filter with the Challenge Year selector to see only books that fit a specific year's bingo card. When a challenge year is selected, the trope dropdown automatically updates to show only that year's tropes.
- All — shows every book in the library (default)
- 📌 TBR — shows only books you've added to your To Be Read list (requires sign-in)
- ✓ Read — shows only books you've marked as read (requires sign-in)
- Audiobook — filters to books with an audiobook edition available
- KU — filters to books currently available on Kindle Unlimited
Yes! Click Jae's Books in the sidebar to view a curated list of books by author Jae, complete with trope tags. You can search and filter within that view the same way as the main library.
Sign in, then click Bingo Card in the sidebar under the Challenge section. If you don't have a card yet, you'll see a prompt — click + Start Card, choose the challenge year, and your 5×5 grid will be created instantly.
You can create cards for multiple years and switch between them using the card switcher above the grid.
Click any tile on your bingo card to open it. You'll see the trope for that square and a list of books you've marked "Read" from the library that match. Click a book to assign it to that tile.
To remove a book from a tile, click the tile again and choose to unassign it. Completed rows, columns, or diagonals are highlighted as bingos automatically.
A bingo is earned when you fill an entire row, column, or diagonal on your 5×5 card. The site tracks these automatically and highlights completed lines on your card.
Filling all 25 squares earns a Blackout — the ultimate achievement! Your card displays a ⭐ badge when you reach it.
Official bingo rules, including prize eligibility and submission details, are set by the challenge host at jae-fiction.com.
Yes, click the Download PDF button above your bingo card to save a snapshot of your current card as a PDF file.
The Hidden Gems Card is a smaller 3×4 (12-tile) challenge card focused on spotlighting under-the-radar sapphic reads — books that deserve more attention.
It works the same way as the Bingo Card: click Hidden Gems Card in the sidebar, start a card for your chosen year, and assign books to each tile. Fill all 12 squares for a Blackout!
Click any book to open its detail view, then use the 📌 TBR or ✓ Read buttons. You can also toggle these directly from the book grid without opening the detail view.
When marking a book as Read, you'll be prompted to enter the date you finished it.
Click My Lists in the sidebar. Your lists are organized into three tabs:
- 📌 To Be Read — books you've queued up
- ✓ Read — completed reads, with optional finish dates
You can edit finish dates, remove entries, or move books between lists at any time.
Sign in and click Submit a Book in the sidebar. You'll need to provide the Goodreads URL for the book and select the tropes that apply. Our team will retrieve the title, author, cover, and other details automatically and review the submission within a few days.
You don't need to be an author to submit — reader recommendations are very welcome!
Sign in and click Update a Book in the sidebar. Enter the title and author of the book you'd like corrected, then describe what needs changing — such as a missing purchase link, incorrect trope, or outdated cover art. Our team reviews all update requests and will apply approved changes.
Click your avatar (the circle with your initial) in the top-right corner and select Change Password. Enter your email address and we'll send you a reset link. The email may go to your spam folder.
