My December 2022 #BookSpinBingo list is ready to go! There is a fair bit of optimism on this list (Malory 😂) and some realism (ebooks, comics, and a very short audiobook).

Very excited to get a whole Day of the Dead–themed collection of backgrounds in PicCollage. Will I rewatch Coco on the actual day and cry my eyes out? Maybe 😬
Anyway, here‘s my #BookSpinBingo list for November 2022. A couple of these are books I‘m already reading. I also have a short audio and a comic book. Should be an interesting month!
I had a productive #OutstandingOctober readathon (2022 edition).
✅ Murder on the Île Sordou (Longworth)
✅ The Rising Tide (Cleeves)
✔️ A Man and His Cat, Vol. 1 (Sakurai)
✔️ Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche (Springer)
? A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Chambers) in progress.
The #OutstandingOctober readathon (2022 edition) coincides exactly with a visit to my parents. Here‘s what I‘ll aim to read:
Murder on the Île Sordou, by M. L. Longworth
The Rising Tide, by Ann Cleeves
A Psalm for the Wild-Built, by Becky Chambers
October 2022 #BookSpinBingo board is set!

✅ BookSpin: Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Vol. 4 (Abadzis)
❌ DoubleSpin: Rogues (Radden Keefe)
0️⃣ bingos (I was close, though)
#BookSpinBingo board for October 2022 is set! I took out a couple of books I hadn‘t got to for months and swapped in a couple of ebooks, current reads, and a book I can borrow from my parents when I visit them this month.
Two out of three ain‘t bad for #SuperSeptember readathon (2022 edition):
✅ Tenth Doctor Vol. 4
✅ Sherlock: Chronicles
❌ The Baker‘s Secret
I also read two other books:
✔️ Heartstopper Vol. 1
✔️ This Much Is True, by Miriam Margolyes
For #SuperSeptember I will once again work on finishing a line on my #BookSpinBingo card. I have the best shot at doing this if I read the following:
📖 Doctor Who: 10th Doctor Vol. 4 (Abadzis)
📖 Sherlock: Chronicles (Tribe)
📖 The Baker‘s Secret (Kiernan)
September 2022 #BookSpinBingo board is all set!
#BookSpin: Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Vol. 4 (Abadzis)

Having a comic as one of my picks this month is lucky 😆
August 2022 #BookSpinBingo recap:
✅ #BookSpin (The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline) complete
✅ #DoubleSpin (The Arsenal Stadium Mystery) complete
1️⃣ bingo (across, B4 to O4)
September 2022 #BookSpinBingo list is ready for Friday! Including the Bob Stanley book is probably overly optimistic, because it is HUGE, but I reserve the right to swap something else in if I get any more library books before Friday.
For the #AwesomeAugust readathon I will be working on the fourth line of my #BookSpinBingo card, so focusing on the following books:
✈️ The Great Stewardess Rebellion, by Nell McShane Wulfhart
☠️ Poison, by Ed McBain
💀Meet Me at the Morgue, by Ross Macdonald
August 2022 #BookSpinBingo is all set!
#BookSpin: The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline (Springer)
#DoubleSpin: The Arsenal Stadium Mystery (Gribble)
I read the manga on my list (Monthly Girls‘ Nozaki-Kun, Vol. 1) this morning, so I‘m off to a good start 😄
August 2022 #BookSpinBingo list ready to go! I will be at my parents‘ place for a week and have suspended my library holds in the meantime, so I‘ve left a few « not owned » spaces blank to give myself flexibility.
July 2022 #BookSpinBingo:
❌ #BookSpin The Gun Seller (Laurie): not started
✅ #DoubleSpin The Apollo Murders (Hadfield): completed
0️⃣ bingos (although nearly had 2!)
July 2022 #BookSpinBingo:

Looks like a thrilling month ahead!
June 2022 #BookSpinBingo report:
⏰ #BookSpin (The Black Tide, Innes) in progress
✅ #DoubleSpin (Big Feelings, Fosslien and Duffy) complete
2️⃣ bingos: top row and rightmost column
My #BookSpinBingo list for July 2022 is pretty much ready to go. I don‘t think I‘ll read anything off this list in the next few days.
June 2022 #BookSpinBingo:
#BookSpin: The Black Tide (Innes)
#DoubleSpin: Big Feelings (Fosselien and Duffy)
This weird angle of my notebook brought to you by the fact that my back is bothering me and I don‘t want to get up off the couch 😂
Slowly reactivating library holds now that I am home from my parents‘ place, so I‘ll be filling a few gaps in my June 2022 #BookSpinBingo list as new books arrive.
May 2022 #BookSpinBingo wrap-up:
❌ BookSpin not started
❌ DoubleSpin not started (I put Amongst Our Weapons in a different not-owned space to try to get a bingo and it didn‘t work 🤦🏻♀️)
1️⃣ bingo (top row)
Apparently I joined Litsy on David Byrne‘s 64th birthday. Today is his 70th birthday. Happy birthday to him and happy Litsyversary to me! 🎂🎈🎉🥳
May 2022 #BookSpinBingo: fresh month, fresh possibilities 😊
#BookSpin: Hope to Die (Jackson)
#DoubleSpin: A book I don‘t own (yay flexibility!)
Kind of a sparse #BookSpinBingo board for April 2022. Hoping May will be better.
⏱ BookSpin: Agent in Place (MacInnes) in progress
😴 DoubleSpin: The Philosophy Book (DK Publishing) hibernating a bit
0️⃣ bingos
All ready for May 2022 #BookSpinBingo. I did get some reading done this month but haven‘t had a lot of energy for it, so I‘m leaving the May list extra flexible. I am off for three weeks starting at the end of next week, so hoping that will give me time to rest and recharge.
April 2022 #BookSpinBingo is looking good!
#BookSpin: Agent in Place, by Helen MacInnes
#DoubleSpin: The Philosophy Book, by DK Publishing
Almost all of my open-ended entries are in the middle column 🤣
March 2022 #BookSpinBingo recap:
✅ BookSpin read (Born on a Blue Day, by Daniel Tammet)
❌ DoubleSpin not read (The Diviners, by Margaret Laurence)
1️⃣ bingo (N1 to N5)
I‘ve drastically retooled my #BookSpinBingo list because I will be visiting my parents and raiding their bookshelves. They have a lot of Beatles books, Rebus books, and history books, and I am not sure what will strike my fancy or suit my attention span.
February 2022 #BookSpinBingo board stats:
✅ BookSpin completed
❌ DoubleSpin not completed
1️⃣ Bingo (diagonal O5 to B1)
March 2022 #BookSpinBingo list is ready! Hoping to be caught up with Vera this month by reading The Darkest Evening. Also slipped a comic onto the list for some light reading 😁
#BookSpinBingo February 2022 board is set!
#BookSpin: McNally‘s Trial, by Lawrence Sanders (added to the list at the last minute 😂)
#DoubleSpin: Uncle Vanya, by Anton Chekhov
#BookSpinBingo list for February 2022 is all set! I have an omnibus of Chekhov plays out from the library, so I‘m cheating and counting each play in the omnibus as a separate book for my stats 😈
#BookSpinBingo board for January 2021 is all set!
#BookSpin: Great Circle (Shipstead)
#DoubleSpin: The Secret of Life: Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, Francis Crick and the Discovery of DNA‘s Double Helix (Markel)
At long last my January 2022 #BookSpinBingo list. I had to change a couple of books at the last minute 😅 Currently reading Tigerman and The Ringed Castle, so I have a head start on those!
