Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is FOURTEEN! Our official #DoubleSpin number is SEVEN!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone‘s lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are a lot of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong. ⬇

Singout @Lcsmcat I still have the copy I stole from my parents shelf in the early 80s when I was a preteen. They were making me pull dandelions: I was making them drink roasted roots for coffee. 1mo

This book is in my Library Thing books so I have it somewhere (a lot of my books are not shelved since my move). Anyway I had and still have this plan (among many ) to take up knitting. Maybe even a sweater one day.
Prompt: #sweater
#Falling

Eggs I love to knit 🧶 (so I must be a cool girl) 😅 2mo

I am trying out a new-to-me creative hobby - art journaling! I‘ve done the front cover (both sides) and the first page. We‘ll see if the hobby sticks but I am enjoying it! And hopefully, the more I do it, the better I‘ll get. 🎨

***And before anyone yells at me, I had a book whose spine broke and the pages started falling out, so I decided to repurpose them into art! 😂

ElizaMarie I love this! I am excited to see your journey! 3mo

Finally have my list together for August‘s #bookspin. Not totally happy with it, but my brain is not braining and I had to throw a couple things on there when I realized that my original list duplicated titles. 🤦🏻‍♀️ There are five NetGalley titles that publish in August, a sequel I‘ve been dying to get my hands on for six months, #CampLitsy, and books I really want to read. We‘ll see how the month goes.

uncommonlycozies this is an incredible list of book 🙌 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3mo

Reread Unraveling for a traveling book club at my library. I hosted today‘s meeting at the NRT (Natural Resources Trust) Sheep Pasture. It was just as good as when I read it the first time — & the book club attendees agreed! How can you not love a book which begins, “Sheep don‘t look like they‘d be slippery.” It explores the process of making a sweater — from shearing the sheep, to spinning & carding the wool, to dyeing and (finally) knitting.👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1: It also explores the author‘s personal grief (her mother‘s recent death, her father‘s fast decline due to dementia, and her daughter‘s imminent departure for college), and her global grief during the pandemic as she yearns for community and climate justice. A+ research and writing. I especially enjoyed the section about natural dyes. Just fab. 🐑 6mo
monalyisha *Note: Book Club participants were treated to a live demo and a chance to get their hands on the tools of the trade: carding, spinning, and knitting (or crocheting). Here I am, working on my crone skills so I can fulfill my calling to live in an overgrown cottage on the edge of the forest. 🍃 6mo
Ruthiella I loved learning that the word “distaff” meaning “female” comes from this craft. 6mo

Soubhiville Sounds like a really cool and informative day! 6mo
ravenlee I‘ve always wanted to try spinning. I have a spindle but it‘s not something I‘ve been able figure out on my own, and it doesn‘t have the same draw as a spinning wheel in my imagination. 6mo
monalyisha @ravenlee I found the drop spindle pretty challenging! 6mo
julesG The drop spindle is challenging. 6mo
