August'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.

Firstly, here are the main titles to choose from
