Rainbow Boy and the Pride Parade | Taylor Rouanzion

And I just realised that with the rainbow on the cover, this book also gives me a finished grid for June!

I now have nineteen unfilled prompts for the year.

SpyBoy Volume 5: Spy-School Confidential | Various

My May #ISpy - I really enjoy playing these. I am gonna keep the same 1 card a month for another month longer, but I might make changes on how I tackle these in July - because they are SOOO hard!

@TheAromaOfBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I definitely can't clear one of these in a month 😂 I've been adding the new month's card each month, but I'm giving myself a full year to try and check off all the prompts. Annnnnd this reminds me that I totally spaced on posting June's board WHOOPS 6d

ElizaMarie Been thinking that in July Ill do 3 months at a time or a second half of the year. And do all 6 left at once 6d

Miss Carter and the Ifrit | Susan Alice Kerby

so-so

This book had all the ingredients that I should enjoy, but somehow they just didn't work here. Miss Carter is a middle-aged woman, never married, who lives by herself in a small flat in London and works for the censor's office during WWII. Through a series of events, she finds herself in possession of an ifrit (i.e. genie). Part of the reason this book didn't quite work for me was that the ifrit's magic never really made sense to me. Apparently ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) he can't actually make things, just conjure them from other places? But he has to actually go in person and fetch them? Or something? And he physically flies to these places and consequently can be shot down by bullets? Or something? I was very distracted by the lack of sensible magic (you know what I mean haha) There is also a strange romance (ish) that I guess is supposed to be an acceptance of practicalities, but instead I just felt ⬇ 2w

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) bad that Miss Carter was giving up her peacefully independent life to go live with someone who more or less takes her for granted/doesn't seem to appreciate her. It was a strange vibe.

All in all, it was okay for a one-time read, but it's not a book I'm planning to keep. Right ingredients, wrong mixture.

But look at all those #ISpy prompts! 😂 - Cleaning Utensil, Cursive Font, Cat, Title/Author in Different Font, Book, Circle 2w

TheAromaofBooks Also!! 1945 for the #192025 challenge @Librarybelle

The Cartoonists Club: A Graphic Novel | Scott McCloud, Raina Telgemeier

Another month down in #ISpyBingo #ISpy @TheAromaOfBooks

The Cartoonists Club was a fun read, part story of the formation of a new school club, part instructional book on making comics and zines, part Ms Frizzle style encouragement to budding artists and writers to “take chances! make mistakes! get messy!“

I love the librarian who facilitates the group meetings, she's great.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Looking great!! 1mo
