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

Went to an estate sale yesterday. Bought a huge bag of lots of colors of embroidery thread. Photo to come after I deodorize it. #CraftersofLitsy #crafting

I'm currently spinning a blend of alpaca, silk and wool. I plan on chain plying it, making it a 3 ply yarn with finished. I'm not sure what I will make with it. It will depend on how many yards I get after plying. @Catsandbooks

julesG Gorgeous colour. 3mo

I finished spinning some laceweight vicuña yarn recently. It is an expensive fiber due to availability. This is .3 of an ounce and was a bucket list fiber for me. #showandtelltuesday #litsycrafters Hosted by @Catsandbooks

Eggbeater Wow! That's really impressive! 3mo
bookishbitch @Eggbeater Thank you! 3mo

bookishbitch @julesG Thank you! 3mo
Catsandbooks Wow! Looks so soft! 🌟 3mo
bookishbitch @Catsandbooks It is one of the softest fibers in the world to spin! It feels amazing. 3mo
PaperbackPirate What are you going to make with it? 😍 3mo
bookishbitch @PaperbackPirate It will likely end up as an accent area in a project I have in mind for some qiviut yarn I also spun. Although I'm about to spin some cashmere too, so it might depend on how well the colors go together with either yarn. 3mo
tpixie Gorgeous 3mo
Lindy Lovely! I can imagine the softness. Did you make the bowl also? My current project, End Times by Amy Gunderson, is using up small balls of qiviut purchased at my guild‘s fibre auction. 3mo
bookishbitch @Lindy I did not make the bowl. It is from a company called scout and bean. I have several in various blues. Your project looks lovely! 3mo
Lindy @bookishbitch Thanks Marie. 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 🙌 3mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3mo

I keep getting these ads on FB, and they have inspired an obsession with getting a bookshelf that spins. I don‘t have the room or the $$ for it, but it‘s going on the “someday library” list.

Tamra It would make a fantastic TBR unit! Best get a couple of them though. (edited) 4mo
Chrissyreadit I get them constantly on my IG- and do wish i could hear from actual people who have it what they think of it. 4mo
BarbaraJean @Tamra Hahaha, yes! One of them claims to hold 300 books, but it seems my physical TBR is a bit larger than that 😆 @Chrissyreadit I know, they look fantastic, but I'd really like to see (and spin!) one in person first. 4mo

LA_Mead I have one and it‘s great! It holds a fair amount of books and looks cute. 4mo
BarbaraJean @LA_Mead Oh, that‘s good to know! Thanks! 4mo
AnnCrystal 🤩👍🏼📚🆒💝. 4mo
Kitta I have one! I love it. It‘s holds quite a few books (mine is round, 5 tiers and holds 120 “medium” books) and the spinning is smooth. I got mine impulsively from the TikTok shop or maybe flycity. 😆 My cats like to jumping from the sofa to the top of it though and it freaks me out haha. I keep thinking it‘s going to topple over but so far it‘s been sturdy. Happy with it! @Chrissyreadit @BarbaraJean 4mo
Chrissyreadit @Kitta Thanks for sharing- also feel free to post a picture for a “shelf love” post (ha I would love to see it so this is completely selfish) I‘m bumping up the likelihood of getting one this Summer because i have a lot of books that need a shelf 🤣 4mo
Kitta @Chrissyreadit I mostly have pictures of Willow the cat on top of it haha. I can take a picture of it though for some shelf love. 💕 (edited) 4mo
