We do not care that our Wordle streak was broken although we complained about it to anyone who would listen. We might have complained about it to strangers if we‘d run into any. We don‘t care that our new streak says a pathetic “1” instead of a nice long number. We now know how many words end with “ound”, way too many. We know Denise feels our pain.

#WDNCW. @dabbe

dabbe Oh, boy, does she!!! I'm trying to teach myself that THAT number doesn't matter and to not even look at it. I haven't succeeded ... yet. 🧡💜💛 1mo
lil1inblue I have such a love/hate relationship with anything that involves streaks. 💚 1mo
Lesliereadsalot @dabbe @lil1inblue It‘s more about starting over than the number itself. All that effort for nothing! 1mo

mcctrish I lost my streak too 1mo
Ruthiella It‘s so frustrating when you have everything but the first letter but there are just too many options for that last letter! I feel you! 1mo
dabbe @Lesliereadsalot 🎯♥️🎯 1mo
Lesliereadsalot @Ruthiella I know, I hate finding myself in that position. 1mo
AmyG Those are the ones I fail, though I got this one. You go through them all and it‘s the one you didn‘t pick. 😢 1mo
Lesliereadsalot @AmyG What kills me is that‘s the first word I thought of but I went with an “s” even tho they rarely use an “s”. I appreciate your empathy! 1mo
MemoirsForMe So frustrating! I feel your pain too. I missed “geese” a few weeks ago. 😩 1mo

Somehow, it's already time for October's #ISpyBingo board!!! Anyone is welcome to join!! Find these items anywhere on a book's front/back cover or spine!! One book can check multiple prompts.

All of the 2025 boards can be found here - https://www.canva.com/design/DAGVO4NctsY/-lGsmflP3sUW9FsAung8hg/view?utm_content...

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) All the 2025 prompts are also in a Storygraph challenge here - https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/85a6eb78-a914-4e84-a200-9073f75...

I am hoping to carry this challenge into 2026!!! If you have some prompts you'd like to send to me, please feel free to comment here or to email me - itsthegoodlife15 at gmail. Obviously I am going to be repeating most of the prompts from this year just in a different order, but if you have⬇
2mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) a prompt that has driven you absolutely crazy/feels impossible, please let me know. For instance, HANDCUFFS are NOT getting mixed in again 😂

Thank you to everyone who plays these boards with me - I don't know why, but I just absolutely love treasure hunting my covers!!

LiseWorks It's an addiction for me lol 2mo
PuddleJumper Flip flops! I don't read many summery books 🤣 2mo
Faranae I barely read contemporary, so things like flip flops have been absolute nightmares 😂 Also, I mostly read e-books these days for access reasons (no money for books and no English library near me, so it's all digital library stuff) so it's hard to do anything with “spine“ prompts unless I happen to spot a suitable book I want to read in someone's book shelf or haul photos. ☠ 2mo
willaful The ones that apply only to physical books are a bit annoying for me, but that's okay.

I know there was one I found so impossible recently, now what was it... oh right, power line!
2mo
willaful Lol, I didn't see your comment when I made mine, @Faranae. 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper @Faranae @willaful - Thank you for the thoughts!! It helps me know how to keep it fun for everyone!! 😁 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @LiseWorks - RIGHT?! Why?? 😂 2mo
LiseWorks I think it's because some are hard to get, and when I have a book with no prompts, I'm so surprised 😅 like the book Well Met, absolutely no bingo spots. So, I guess my book choices are bingoless 😆 2mo
Kiwidragonnerd I have to ask, what does the initials one mean? My initials? 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @Kiwidragonnerd - I'm pretty flexible on interpretations 😂 In my mind, it's an author who uses their initials instead of their name, so a book cover that says L.M. Montgomery instead of Lucy Maud Montgomery. 2mo
Kiwidragonnerd @TheAromaofBooks Ohhhhh thanks :) (edited) 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @Kiwidragonnerd - No problem!! Also, if you'd like to be added to the tag list for each month when I post a new board, just let me know!! 😁 2mo

Deblovestoread Hey Sarah! You can remove me from the tag list. My reading has nose dived and I‘ve pretty much thrown in the towel on challenges. Thanks! 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @Deblovestoread - No worries!! And you are always welcome to jump back in if you want!! 3mo

#BookSpin Day 6: Bertie Badger‘s grandfather, “Gadzooks the Great” was once a “conjurer of note,” a world-famous magician who traveled to Prague, Kathmandu, Antipodes and Timbuktu. One would wonder what the #ConjurersWife was like - see what I did there? My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-idh
