In this elegant dual narrative, Essie is a thirteen-year-old girl feeling glum about starting a new school after her professor dad takes a temporary teaching position in a different town. She has 110 days here and can't wait for them to end. Then she meets Ollie: delicate, blue eyes, short hair, easy smile. At first, Essie thinks she has a typical crush on a beautiful boy. But as her crush blossoms, she soon realizes that Ollie is not a boy or a girl, but gender non-binary. Meanwhile, Ollie is experiencing a crush of their own . . . on Essie. As Ollie struggles to balance their passion for queer advocacy with their other interests, they slowly find themselves falling for a girl whose stay is about to come to an end. Can the two unwind their merry-go-round of feelings before it's too late?

And this is my April #Bookspin #Doublespin & #BookspinBingo list as well. Which I forgot to post last week. Lots of new books, some buddy reads & extra free spaces. Which book would you read first?

Not a great photo but here‘s my March #Bookspin #Doublespin & #BookspinBingo list! First one for the year I think🤔There‘s some great books on here, all books from my #TBRShelvesAndStacksOfDoom Can‘t wait to get stuck into most of them, hopefully my health gets with the program too! PS: Why are so many book titles so LONG lately??

LeeRHarry I‘m reading Bride atm - hope this is the one the bookspin gods pick for you! 😊 hope your health continues to improve too. 2mo
Lizpixie @LeeRHarry Me too lovely! On both counts🙏♥️♥️ 2mo
TheAromaofBooks I've also noticed the long book title trend. An attempt to be unique? Sometimes it works and sometimes it just feels clunky haha 2mo

EDIT: I‘m changing 9. The Drift to the above book. I was hoping to have read it by now but haven‘t had a chance. So June‘s #BookBingo list it is!

I promise I wrote out my #Bookspin #Doublespin & #BookspinBingo list a few days ago! There‘s a lot of my recent #BookHaul books on there with just a few repeat performers along with my usual additional FREE SPACEs. According to the numbers my #Bookspin is a FREE SPACE and, oh, my #Doublespin is also a FREE SPACE! There you go. Guess I‘ll be reading both this month.😂

My #Bookspin #Doublespin & #BookspinBingo list for October. Mostly books for the #Scarathlon with a few challenges & my usual extra FREESPACEs thrown in. Fingers crossed I feel better by Saturday with no extra brain fog this time🤞Not holding much hope. PCR came back positive too like the RAT test, was hoping it was a false positive, but nooo. Why does the universe hate me??? Better not screw with my reading again or I‘m gonna be pissed!😡

LiteraryinLawrence Oh no! Hope it‘s not too bad and you can still read! 2y
TheAromaofBooks Oh no!!! Hopefully it doesn't hit as hard this time! 2y
Lizpixie @LiteraryinLawrence @TheAromaofBooks thanks, me too! I‘ve been given antivirals this time so hopefully, as long as I don‘t have a reaction to them, they‘ll keep me from getting too sick. Fingers crossed 🤞 2y

My #Bookspin #Doublespin & #BookspinBingo list for September has new releases, classics, returning picks & my usual few extra FREE SPACES & a couple of other multiple choice prompts. Here‘s hoping it‘s a better reading month for me, it‘s been 5 months since I had Covid & the brain fog is still lingering🫠

Though I‘m looking at it now and realising I‘ll have to substitute No3 with Kisscut by the same author instead(as I got impatient and read Girl Forgotten the day I received it!)

Lizpixie @Cinfhen hi lovely👋I‘ve been quiet for the last month or so, still struggling with memory & concentration issues due to post Covid syndrome. It‘s taken away my reading Cindy! Pisses me off that my only way to de-stress & relax is gone. Praying it‘s only temporary🙏 2y

My TBR has gotten pretty wombatty lately 🤪 pretty sure I will have this #BookSpin in the bag before my shift starts today. Also hoping to get this #DoubleSpin off my TBR as the poor thing usually ends up in library purgatory before I get to finish it. 😅

I just looked at my last bookspin list and I have managed to knock off 4 books. My goal was just to read one off the list. I wasn‘t even paying attention to the books I was pulling off the shelf and boom! I guess I really should be working on a vision board. 😂😂 Apparently what you put on paper gets a little spotlight in your life without you knowing.

This is May‘s list for #bookspin. @TheAromaofBooks

This is all bc of audiobooks. Only 2 of these were not (1 ebook, 1 physical book). I really enjoyed Rick Bragg‘s The Most They Ever Had; and The Seven Kinds of People You Meet in a Bookshop was delightful and witty! I‘m going to re-listen to that one, it‘s very good!

Finally have a chance to post my #Bookspin #Doublespin & #BookspinBingo list for April! I swear, I haven‘t even looked at a book for over a week, I‘d forgotten how much work a puppy can be🐶Add in my poor grandson who‘s so miserable with a cold he‘s inconsolable. But he‘s getting better finally thank god, though Ruby is proving harder to train🤷🏻‍♀️

tpixie I don‘t know if you believe in crating. Where we got our puppy they said keep it in the crate no more than every 2 to 3 hours and potty it. if it‘s out of the crate you need to potty pup 🐶 every 30 minutes. They said keep the puppy isolated to one room only until they‘ve mastered pottying outside in that room, and then you can expand their space. That‘s what I remember at least! (edited) 2y
TheAromaofBooks Puppies are soooo much work!! That's why they have to be extra cute 😂 Hope your grandson feels better soon. It's so hard to see a little one be sick 💔 2y

I‘ve changed it up for my #January #Bookspin #Doublespin & #BookspinBingo list For the first month of 2022 I‘m making it all about prompts instead of actual titles. I‘m once again taking on a butt load of year long challenges so here‘s hoping I can cross off a prompt for quite a few of them. There‘s a master list of 2022 challenges here if you‘re interested?

My #bookspin list for December. This will probably be the last one i participate in for a few months at least because my New Years resolution is to WRITE. Write everyday! So I have a feeling I will be reading a lot less in 2022, just until I can get comfortable with writing again and reading won‘t be such a distraction. Gonna try and read as much as I can tho and go out with a bang 💥

There‘s a nice percentage of #SciFiSeptember books to #LittensDressedInBlood reads & also my usual #FreeSpaces My #Bookspin book is #AnAudiobook & my #Doublespin is GreenMars. How‘s your month looking so far?
