Repost for @TheAromaofBooks

Here are July‘s prompts and the #ISpyBingo board. Anyone can play. These items can be found on the front cover, back cover or spine of the book. You can try to get them all in a month, or keep this board in play for longer, whatever works for you. See @TheAromaofBooks ‘s original post for links to all the 2025 boards and the Storygraph challenge.

Gorgeous cover, cute title, liked the mooncake contest storyline idea. The rest was just meh. Theo was a dick, and there was no chemistry between them. Took me ages to read because I kept falling asleep a few pages after picking it up.

I did get the #Autumn prompt for #LGBTQIA2025 @Kenyazero - one to go! As well as Cake, finishing March for #ISpyBingo #ISpy @TheAromaOfBooks

Bwahaha here I am actually remembering to post the new #ISpyBingo board in a timely manner! Miracle!!

Anyway, here are July's prompts. As a reminder, anyone can play. These items can be found on the front cover, back cover, or spine of the book. You can try to get them all in a month, or keep this board in play for longer, whatever works for you!! I personally have been adding a new board every month but plan to give myself a year to clear each ⬇

And with scissors on the cover, that's February done! #ISpyBingo #ISpy @TheAromaOfBooks

Four grids are fully completed; 15 prompts to go.

Also didn't share my May #ISpy.

And I just realised that with the rainbow on the cover, this book also gives me a finished grid for June!

I now have nineteen unfilled prompts for the year.

All are welcome to play!!

My May #ISpy - I really enjoy playing these. I am gonna keep the same 1 card a month for another month longer, but I might make changes on how I tackle these in July - because they are SOOO hard!

This book had all the ingredients that I should enjoy, but somehow they just didn't work here. Miss Carter is a middle-aged woman, never married, who lives by herself in a small flat in London and works for the censor's office during WWII. Through a series of events, she finds herself in possession of an ifrit (i.e. genie). Part of the reason this book didn't quite work for me was that the ifrit's magic never really made sense to me.
