Some clever people on Tumblr have made graphs and flowcharts for their Return of the Thief wish lists and predictions—I, on the other hand, lack the brain power for anything more complicated than this bingo card.
(Image under the cut contains spoilers and speculations for RotT, including the Apple preview and MWT's 3 secrets. Comments will probably be spoilery as well.)

I've filled it in so far with a combination of characters I hope to see, recurring themes I suspect will reappear, guesses, wishes, and an inside joke or two. I've left some blank spaces, since I'm still re-reading the series and I'm sure I'll have some ideas to add by the time I get to the end of TaT. And as you can see, I've already got some crossed out, thanks to the Apple preview, which DELIGHTS me. I wanted to cross out "elephant" and "gods appear" after MWT's 3 secrets video... but I'm holding off, jussssst in case she's being tricksy with her information. ;) (I almost wrote "gods offended" instead of "appear"... I'm happy with my choices, so far.)
Obviously this is all just for kicks. Either I'm so misguided, I'm going to look back on this with embarrassment and admiration for MWT's cunning, OR I'm going to get bingo within the first 5 chapters, and the rest will come as a huge surprise to me. WE SHALL SEE! :)
What are your thoughts? And do you have any suggestions for those blank spaces?
p. s. Can someone remind me when/where we're supposed to make our Where's Eugenides contributions? I've lost track of the original post. Thanks!

A few of my more far-fetched wishes are for Gen to steal from the gods, Gen to train a new thief (and tell us some of the secrets in the process), the lion statues in Sounis to roar, the Magus to do magic, another visit to that well in the Mede empire, a play in Elisa, rooftop dancing, slave uprisings, another visit to that small temple in the mountains, and a visit to the underworld. I’ll be perfectly happy to not get any of those at all, but there they are.
Oh and Stenides to make Gen a mechanical hand, but mwt already said that’s not happening.

someone references "like most people I have two grandfathers, grandmother's extra"
someone tells someone to "go to bed"
someone falls from a horse
someone journeys to Attolia (all the books, except KoA has had someone going on a trip to Attolia)
Pheris is new Magnus/relius
fake death
broken perfume jar
Beronne gets to join the gang (she's not completely dumb, more just legally blond dumb. After all, she did rescue Sophos without anyone knowing)
guards bathhouse
