The First Witch of Boston: A Novel | Andrea Catalano

pick

Excellent historical fiction based around true events. It was presented in a way that‘s not typical in similar stories; In this case she was living among puritans but not one, willful, had the support of her husband (mostly) &was negatively impacted throughout her life by the notions of her time allowing the reader to see her as something other than a victim without characterizing her through a lens of modern feminism. Highly recommend.

I had decided to try 3 months at a time for these bingo boards. I did better. Maybe next year will be all cards for the whole year.

julieclair I do all cards for the whole year. I‘m hoping to cover all the squares on at least some of the boards. 🤞 2d

ElizaMarie I am gonna do that for next year. It‘s fun doing these little scavenger hunts :) 2d

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! This year I started a new board every month, but am giving myself a full year to clear it, so it's kind of a 2025-2026 challenge... with the intention of also having 2026 boards 😂 2d

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks so like January 2026 and you have till January 2027? Then in February 2026 you are doing January 2026 and February 2026? 2d

TheAromaofBooks Yes, except I started this year. So on January 1 I started the January board, but I have until December 31 to finish it. Then on February 1 I started the February board and am giving myself until January 31 (2026) to finish. And I've added a board each month. Since I'm going to have new boards for 2026, on January 1 I'll be done with my January 2025 board and start with my January 2026 board... but still be running February-December 2025. ⬇ 2d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) If that makes sense 😂 I have a habit of overcomplicating things!!! 😆 2d

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks - Ah, yes, it makes sense. I might do that next year, or just do ALL of 2026 until Dec 31, 2026. Not sure yet. I do love doing them, it's just one of those fun things to add to enjoying reading. :) Thank you for all your hosting/hard work on keeping this community fun! 1d

TheAromaofBooks Thank you!!! For some reason, I find these I Spy boards to be super addictive 😂 2h

I Spy Spectacular: A Book of Picture Riddles | Walter Wick, Jean Marzollo

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⬇ 1w

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!! 1w

LiseWorks It's an addiction for me lol 1w

PuddleJumper Flip flops! I don't read many summery books 🤣 1w

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. ☠ 7d

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! 7d

willaful Lol, I didn't see your comment when I made mine, @Faranae. 7d

TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper @Faranae @willaful - Thank you for the thoughts!! It helps me know how to keep it fun for everyone!! 😁 7d

TheAromaofBooks @LiseWorks - RIGHT?! Why?? 😂 7d

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 😆 7d

When you read three books in a series about anthropomorphic animals, you get lots of clothes not on people! 😂

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! 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @Deblovestoread - No worries!! And you are always welcome to jump back in if you want!! 1mo

Continental Drifter | Kathy MacLeod

Continental Drifter is an excellent graphic memoir about a childhood spent between Bangkok and Maine, and the search for belonging.

And it has a lighthouse on the cover, so that's July done! #ISpyBingo #ISpy @TheAromaOfBooks

Also. Bangkok is Somewhere Hot @julieclair #FictionalTraveler

julieclair Wow, congrats on completing July! I have been working on all 12 months all year, and I still don‘t have any one month totally completed. 1mo

Kenyazero this is an outstanding bingo board 🤩 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!!! 1mo
