SBTB Summer Bingo Recommendations

Hey all! We’re about halfway through our SBTB 2024  Romance Bingo card!

By now, you might have knocked out a few easier spaces, but if you’re having trouble, we’re here to help!

Below are some resources or recommendations you can use to fill more specific squares. And of course, I encourage you to brainstorm in the comments.
