For my 2026 #BookSpinBingo, here are my personal rules to fit my life!
- #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin are priorities.
- The #BookSpin book is replaced by my book club's monthly pick. Original book in that spot moves to #25.
- NetGalley reviews go in #24 & can swap with any spot. No NetGalley means #24 becomes a free choice that is fixed.
- #23 is a mood read. I can swap it with any other spot on the board, but I can only do this once per month.
*rubs hands together in glee* This month‘s going to be so good. I can feel it.

I did figure one thing out, about 1/3 of the way into the book. But, I was still surprised by some stuff. I don't think that J. D. Barker get the accolades he should. He is a very good thriller writer. If you have never read a book of his, I recommend you get one and read it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
