24 hours (ish) until I post July's #BookSpin, #DoubleSpin, & #BookSpinBingo!!!! Still plenty of time to post a list if you want to jump in for this round.

Confession: I drew out the numbers already so that I could make my bingo card to post as a sample tomorrow. So do you want a teaser? Of course you want a teaser. 😁 I'll tag the first comment as a spoiler and tell you what the four corners of the bingo card are going to be!!

AllisonM89 It's going to be so much fun!! 4y
AllisonM89 #bookspin might be the highlight of my litsy experience so far. It's such a fun idea! 4y
Hestapleton You knew I was wishing today was book spin day! Thanks for the teaser! I‘m off work and excited to get started :) 4y
Smarkies Looking forward to it! Honestly, this is the one event I look forward to every month. Thanks Sarah for being such a champ organising this. 4y
Megabooks I‘m going to have to starting reading a random one because three of my corners are audiobooks, and I‘m still reading Ducks, and the bother one is still being shipped!! Ahhhhh!! 4y
Megabooks Still excited and love the preview, though! 😘😘 4y
jenniferw88 Yay - have placed my 4 corners on my #bujo spread - i have a classic play, 2 fantasy and a historical fiction! 4y
rockpools 🎉🎉🎉 4y
Eggs So...do we read the books in any order? 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Eggs - Yes, you can read them in any order. Tomorrow I'll post the official BookSpin/DoubleSpin numbers for the month. Those numbers will be randomly mixed with the rest of the list in the bingo card, so if you want to earn “credit“ for the month you read BookSpin and/or DoubleSpin like usual, and if you want to score a bingo, you would read any row/column, although presumably most people will read a row that includes BS or DS numbers. 4y
JamieArc Yay! Thanks for the spoiler! 🎉🎉 4y
squirrelbrain Of course I had to look at the spoiler! 2 ARCs and 2 physical books, so that‘s pleasingly symmetrical! 4y
BookmarkTavern This is going to be so freaking amazing! 😁 4y
FantasyChick I'm so looking forward to this one! It's going to be a challenge and I'm ready!! 4y
rabbitprincess Yee haa! Set up my bingo card with the numbers! Also proud of myself for placing the ruler correctly when drawing the lines for the card 😂😂 4y
Eggs Thanks Sarah. — such a fun challenge @TheAromaofBooks 4y
ItsAnotherJen I just keep checking/refreshing your page like a million times since I got up. I think I'll go exercise so I don't continue to be obsessive..😅 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm The one time I‘m ok with a spoiler. 😂🤣😂🤣 4y
Gissy Yes!!! 🙌 4y
Suet624 Can‘t wait. You‘re the best. 4y
Melismatic Ahh! Mine are 3 audios & an ARC... 4y
GinaKButler @AllisonM89 Me, too! I look forward to this so much every month! 4y
PaperbackPirate My stack is the same as last month so I‘m not reposting my photo, but I definitely want to play along! 📚 4y
sharread Can I play? 4y
TheAromaofBooks @PaperbackPirate - Thanks for letting me know!! I put you on the list!! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @sharread - Absolutely!! Anyone is welcome!! You just need a list of 20-25 books that are numbered. (Regular #BookSpin is only 20 books, but we're using 25 to make the bingo card even - some people are adding 5 extra books to their lists & other people are just going to leave 21-25 as free spaces.) Tag me when you post your list & I'll let you know the lucky numbers in the morning!!! 4y
Powered_By_Plants 🤩 love the teasers thank you ! Eeeek! Excited 😆 💕 4y
i.besteph Eeeeeek sooo excited! 😹😹🙌🏽 4y

Mehso-so

This was fun in theory and kind of meh in execution, especially once he got to comparing different types of fuel. The dietary stuff early in the book is the most interesting, although mostly not new to me.

Here's the #bookblanket motif for this one: "lobelia" (darker than I expected!) for the centre for a science book and "petrol" because I bought it in 2018.

I was just brought up short by the author commenting it's "foolish" to advise that it's unethical to patent a medical discovery. Gosh... I think it IS unethical to make a medical discovery impossible for people to access fairly, which is the end result of a lot of patents. But I guess I would consider it sage advice to say "patent it before someone else can and then allow anyone to use it"? I was kneejerk mad at the book, but now... pondering.

Current read!

I vanished a bit again and I'm sorry. Life got overwhelming. I'm back now (I think).

Also, anyone else making a #bookblanket this year? Here's my blog post about my plans so far for it! https://breathesbooks.com/2019/01/07/discussion-book-blanket/ (basically, for every book I read, I'll crochet a hexagon for a blanket!)

llwheeler What a cool idea! I'd love to see pics as you go along! 5y
Clare-Dragonfly Oh, what a fun idea! I‘ve seen temperature scarves and blankets with one row of a corresponding color knitted—that would be cool to do with books. 5y
shanaqui @llwheeler Definitely my plan! 5y
shanaqui @Clare-Dragonfly I am excited! Some people are doing scarves, but I think it'd get out of hand with how much I read! An oversized blanket can only be good... 5y
Autumnscribe What a fantastic idea! I think I might have to borrow this idea!!! 5y

Early bday present from the babes! 😍😍😍All the houses are represented. I can even fit my laptop! ❤💖💙 Last year it was the HP series with the new covers. 😂 #hpnerd #muchlove #gryffindor #slytherin #hufflepuff #ravenclaw #backpack

kelseynicburke @BookBoggart we sell these in the store where I work and I had to work extra hard to sell them all so I could stop myself from buying it 😂 7y
BookBoggart @kelseynicburke I'm guessing you work at Spencers? According to the sales lady they are exclusive to there. Unless she lied. 😂 7y
kelseynicburke @BookBoggart hahah yes I do 7y

BookBoggart @kelseynicburke Nailed it! Lol. Yeah we went in there for my bf to buy a wallet. We ended up going back to get the backpack. It's gonna be a lifesaver especially with winter coming up. I don't drive so gotta carry work clothes and lunches and all that. Plus my books to take back to the library! Also help with groceries. Needless to say I'm like a kid just starting middle school. 😂😂😂 7y
kelseynicburke @BookBoggart I wanted it so badly but I already have like 5 backpacks so I just couldn't justify it! 7y
BookBoggart @kelseynicburke I have an Alice and wonderland one but it's so small it barely keeps anything in it. It's always falling off my shoulders too. I most have purses but I carry around so much junk I need more room! Lol. 7y
Texreader Awesomeness!!!! 7y
julesG How can I unsee this picture? This rucksack just went to the top of my wishlist. 😉 7y
BookBoggart @julesg Excellent! Mwhahaha 😉 7y
julesG @BookBoggart Good thing Spencer's does not ship to Germany, otherwise I'd have bought it at once. 7y
BookBoggart @julesg Ah I know your plight! Granted most places do deliver to Canada. Doesn't mean it's not an arm and a leg to get it. The US is just next door and it's always double plus shipping for anything! 7y
