Even though this rates well, was media focused and won a provincial literary prize in 2015, this was sooo not for me. I just didn‘t connect with the main character or any other. I felt a little overwhelmed for the parents at the end, but that‘s it. Not my subject, not my crowd, not a language I like to read. The title & cover are beautiful though. It will be a polarized discussion 😉

So I will keep playing my extended #SummerBookSpinBingo2020 card. Those 2 still have not been read; it‘s working out great. Crossed fingers ??for library availability ?

What a poignant story observed, felt & told by nurse Bernadette. Themes of insecurity, belonging, difference, respect, motherhood, love, suffering and more are covered. After 40 years spent with a First Nations community of British-Columbia islands, she is leaving for retirement. Manuel through a simple style, embroidered with legends and characters that I felt authentic moved me to tears. #ReadCanada 4/13 #BritishColombia #SummerBookSpinBingo2020

MsMelissa Glad you like this one! 4y

It a very rainy-lazy day 🌧 Getting started on next week‘s #SundayBuddyRead and to cross no. 21 of my #SummerBookSpinBingo2020 card 🙂

Expectations from the inside cover blurb are very appealing in regards to her double life/role & the challenge to fix ideas. But I‘m not crazy about books about secrets from the past. Hopefully the promise of witty, insightful & the discussion will do it for me.
May I just say that I find the cover beautiful ❣️

I will play#BookSpin & Cie for August. I have no Bingo yet, as I borrow books from the library and do not have full control on when they become available. My Bingo is truly driven by chance. Therefor, I will keep using my #SummerBookSpinBingo2020 seasonal card. I‘m really enjoying this reading game 🤩 Thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks and everyone who plays and shares 🙏🏻

TheAromaofBooks Sounds like a plan!! I'll tag you with the new #BookSpin numbers tomorrow in case they are ones you haven't read yet!! 4y

This was a demanding audio. I had to rewind a few times, for the solution to simplify Life needs attention and brain rewiring 🤯 I felt it was very self relevant, for as a Libra ♎️ I live upstairs in my head, with my swords, to often. I enjoyed the many examples. From mental/emotionnal mess, to awareness & consciousness, through “Who am I? & Who is it that is noticing this?” Really happy to have received his teachings 🧠💚 #SummerBookSpinBingo2020

1book.today Oh my goodness! Loved that book! Also saw in your calendar The Courage To Be Disliked. Just finished that one!! So good!! What did you think of that one? 4y
Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira 😊 I guess we could be buddy readers 😉 I 💗 both. 4y

Hey friends!! It's hard to believe that we only have a week of July left!!! This month has gone really fast for me. As usual, I am planning to draw the #BookSpin numbers on the 2nd, so there is still plenty of time to finish your reads, score a bingo, or even check off the whole list!! Be sure to tag me when you post!!

I am going to bring #BookSpinBingo BACK for August!! I've had so many people tell me that this challenge really helped them ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) tackle their TBR this month, so I am going to make the challenge available again for those who wish to participate.

As always, there is NO obligation to do the bingo part – everyone is welcome to read just the regular #BookSpin and/or #DoubleSpin. But for those who want the added challenge of scoring a bingo (or reading the entire card – some of you are going crazy & I love it!!), you can either make your regular list of 20 ⬇
4y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) (which means you‘ll have 5 free spaces), or make a list of 25.

PLEASE tag me when you post your list so I can add you to MY list (which ensures that you get tagged on drawing day!!). When you do, let me know if you want to do the Bingo part – I‘ll have a different tag list for that part so that I don‘t hassle the folks folks who just want to read their #BookSpin in peace without all this extra nonsense! ⬇
4y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Anyone & everyone is welcome to join – all you have to do is post a list & tag me!! If you want to take a break this month but still want to stay on the tag list for September, please let me know – I update the tag list every month to reflect that month‘s participants so that people who aren‘t interested any more don‘t keep getting tagged unnecessarily. 😂

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or thoughts. ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd FINAL) There is still plenty of time before the 2nd, but I‘m excited to see everyone‘s lists!!! Thank you so much to everyone who joins me for this challenge every month – I truly enjoy looking at lists & reading everyone‘s reviews & thoughts. It‘s SO much fun for me!!

See you on August 2!!

Sarahreadstoomuch I can‘t believe how much fun I had with the bingo! Thanks for bringing it back again! 4y
jenniferw88 Yay! Definitely doing bingo again - it's making me prioritise my reads! Some will be the same books as this month's. 4y
wanderinglynn Bingo has been really fun! 👍🏻😀 4y
mollyrotondo Thank goodness! My reading plans got so thrown off this month so I haven‘t gotten a bingo yet! I‘m trying to make this last week count! But I‘m so happy bingo is available again in August! Second chance!!!! 4y
Thousand-Lives Yay! So excited to do another round of Bingo! It has pushed me to read even more than I usually do! 4y
Kimzey Great! Thanks for the fun and motivation! 4y
Kelly326 I have gotten so many books read. Can‘t wait to do it again! 4y
TheSpineView Sounds great! 4y
rabbitprincess Woo hoo! I am doing terribly at the bingo part, but I like filling in the card so will make one next month too 😆 4y
AllisonM89 Super excited!! 4y
Cinfhen Awesomeness ❣️ 4y
Cinfhen @Megabooks are you up for another FULL BOARD 🙌🏻💕 4y
mrsmarch Thank you for the reminder! I‘m totally revamping my list for August, so I‘m a little late posting my spread. Also, where did July go? I am currently finishing my book for LMPBC. 4y
Hestapleton YAY MORE BINGO. I super loved doing it this month and it‘s been really motivating for me! Excited to do it again. 4y
AmyK1 Yay! I‘m gonna do the bingo again-it‘s been a lot of fun 😁 4y
SamAnne Looking forward to it! I‘m still working on my bingo for July.... 4y
ItsAnotherJen This was an amazing motivating way for me to finally read some of my mom's books she keeps giving me 😄 4y
claudiuo This is great! In July I only finished a few books and to my shame none of these were spins and no bingo. I was planning (and still am) to keep the July bingo card around to try to get at least one in the months to come, just to prove myself that I can do it. 😃
It's so cool you are bringing it back, now I'll have 2 cards to work towards. Thank you so much!

i.besteph Awesome! I can‘t wait! :) 4y
OriginalCyn620 Awesome! 🤗 4y
rockpools Hooray! More bingo! I‘m with @rabbitprincess on this one - I may never ever get a bingo, but I‘ll have fun colouring in my boxes 😁. Also, being a pesky nuisance, I‘ve changed my username (from @rachelo ), which‘ll probably muck up one of your lists somehere. Sorry 😐 4y
squirrelbrain Yay! More bingo! I‘ll also go for #bookspinbingo- I got 2 lines this month so I may try for the same again.... I loved the wait to see which were the first two numbers on the bingo card, then figuring out which way to go! 4y
Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira BookSpin and DoubleBookSpin are fun, SpinBingo is AWESOME 🤩 I will keep working my #SummerBookSpinBingo2020 card. Thanks for hosting 🙏🏻 4y
MallenNC Fun! I‘m excited to do Bingo again next month. 4y
TheAromaofBooks @rockpools - Oh yes!! I actually knew that & changed it on my physical list, but for today's tags I just copied/pasted from when I posted July's numbers, so it didn't get changed there!! Thanks for the reminder!! 😁 4y
Jen_Reads Awesome! I‘ve gotten so many books read since it started. 4y
bookandbedandtea I'm so glad you'll do #BookSpinBingo again in August. This is fun! 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm YAY!!! Glad it‘s coming back for August!! It‘s definitely helped me. I‘m ahead of my reading schedule for the year now and if I keep it up, I‘ll be even further ahead by the time the next round starts. Still haven‘t scored a bingo, but that‘s kind of beside the point for me. Thank you for such an awesome challenge! ❤️❤️ 4y
imyril I‘m failing so hard at bookspin this year dammit! But I love it, it‘s like my aspirational monthly stretch goal ☺️ 4y
vlwelser 🙌 🙌 And thank you for organizing all of this! 4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen oh dear, I‘m not sure I could do it two months in a row, but if @TheAromaofBooks keeps it up, I‘ll do it another timer or two this year! 4y
Jari-chan I'm working on my last books and will update soon. And I'm so IN for the next bingo! 😁 4y
Cinfhen It‘s a HUGE commitment @Megabooks back to back does sound exhausting 😜 4y
hes7 Yay! I‘m loving the bingo, so I‘m excited for another month. 4y
Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures Yay! I love this bingo!! I‘ll get my list straightened out! 4y
ferskner Woohoo! I haven't done so well with it but I'm really enjoying the posts. 4y
ravenlee I think I‘m just doing #bookspin for August, not bingo. It‘s been awesome! But I have a lot of prep for our homeschool year that‘s going to cut into my reading time next month. 4y
BookwormAHN I've been having a great time with #BookSpinBingo I'm definitely in for August 😺 4y
CBee I am going to stick with #bookspin and #doublespin for August, not the bingo. I‘m just too much of a mood reader 😳😂 4y
Grrlbrarian I‘m in for August as well 🙌 Super excited to make my list! 4y
pareads I want to participate in August but this will be my first time! We just make a list of our own 20 (or 25 books) post it and tag you on the 2nd? Thanks for organizing this 😃 4y
Allylu I LOVE #BookSpin in all its forms! I have already read 8 books in July and I expect to finish at least one more, maybe 2! That is super excellent for me! I really appreciate all you do! 💕📚📚📚😊 4y
BookmarkTavern Yay! I‘m so excited! 🎉 4y
sharread Count me in! 🥳🤯💗❤ 4y
Bookwormjillk Oh good. I didn‘t get very far in July and am looking forward to a second chance 4y
RainyDayReading Yay! I haven‘t made it far at all in July (library books came in 😅) so I can‘t wait for a second chance! 4y
Eggs I‘m in, Sarah 🤗 @TheAromaofBooks 4y
PaperbackPirate Hooray!! 4y
Lesanne I‘ll jump back in with the regular #Bookspin and #Doublespin, no bingo for me yet! 😊 4y
Hooked_on_books I‘m planning to keep working through my current bingo card until I finish it. I‘m tempted to make a new card, but instead I shall stay on track! 4y
Librarybelle Yay! I‘ve not even touched my bingo card for July yet (!) but that won‘t stop me for August...haha! Putting on my thinking cap. 4y
TheAromaofBooks @pareads - You'll want to make your list sometime before the 2nd, as that's the day that I actually draw the numbers & tag you to tell you what they are!!! But yes, a list of any 20 (or 25) books you've been meaning or are planning to read!! More info about the bingo aspect from this post from last month if you want some details - https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1959936 - just let me know if you have any questions!!! 4y
Clwojick Oh thank god! I didn‘t give it a solid try for July, but I hope to do better in august. I‘m going to select a whole new list though ♥️ 4y
InBooksILive Unfortunately I think I‘ll be skipping bookspin next month. I‘ve been so overwhelmed with all the clubs I‘ve joined recently and reading has become more of a chore then enjoyment. So I figured I‘d skip a month, take a breather, and jump back in in September! ☺️ 4y
TheAromaofBooks @InBooksILive - Sounds reasonable!! When reading starts feeling like a chore checklist, it's good to take some time off!! I'll keep you on the tag list for September's reminder!! 😊 4y
olivia.ferz I'll be skipping bookspin next month unfortunately. I haven't finished reading this month's book and it looks like I'll be continuing it next month too. But do tag me for September's bookspin! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @olivia.ferz - Sometimes you just need a break & this challenge works quite well with skipping haha I have you on the September list!! 4y
MemoirsForMe Yay! What fun! 🙌🏻 4y
Sargar114 Can‘t wait! I‘m seeing what I get through this week to get my list posted for August! July was rough due to some meh books, here‘s hoping August is better! Thank you for the fun challenge @TheAromaofBooks 4y
Erinsuereads I'm totally struggling to get through my book but I'm going to do it!!!! 4y
TReads
Downside: I did not make it through a single book this month. 😬
Upside: I can reuse my list from last month and try again! 😂
Hooray for #bookspin and Hooray for you, Sarah! 👍 ❤

TheAromaofBooks @TReads - Sometimes that's just the way life goes!! Hopefully August will be better!! 4y

So happy I was able to pick up all my library reservations on my way back from a great get away in Québec City. I‘m now ready for my next 3 summer engagements. #SundayBuddyRead, #BookSpin & #1LivreQCxMois. All 3 are part of my #SummerBookSpinBingo2020 card ?

MsMelissa This time last year I was in Quebec City! I took my mother for her birthday, as she‘d never been there. Definitely my favourite city in North America. (edited) 4y
Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira O! How nice! I go about every 3 years. I also think it‘s got some magic dust in and around; charming city. The ambiance and the food are amazing 😋 4y
