I completely re-did my December #BookspinBingo list once I saw the 2026 #TOBLonglist

I think I have it now. Books tagged in the comments.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3d
BkClubCare I have looked at library for the first few and got so discouraged. I don‘t know how all you LongListers DO IT!! #sigh 3d
Bookwormjillk @BkClubCare my city has a reciprocal agreement with DC public library and I‘ve been able to get a bunch with their Libby app. I‘ve used Everand credits for a few too. It‘s definitely a hunt! 3d
BarbaraBB Yay! 3d

Blob: A Love Story | Maggie Su

Pickpick

Vi has stalled in life, working a humdrum job after dropping out of college. Then she finds an odd blob and discovers it‘s sentient. Then it starts to shift. On the surface, this is a quirky story about an eccentric woman, but really it‘s about the choices we make, societal/familial expectations, and how the disconnect between those can derail us. I liked this. #TOB26 #TOBlonglist

ChaoticMissAdventures Now I am excited! I have the audio from the library, just have to find the time! So glad you enjoyed 5d
squirrelbrain Oh good, I‘m glad you liked it! I‘ve reserved a physical copy at the library and hopefully it will come in soon. We may end up reading it at the same time Shawna! @ChaoticMissAdventures 5d

Gliff: A Novel | Ali Smith

Pickpick

I‘m not a huge fan of Smith (I‘ve tried the seasonal quartet and just didn‘t get it) but this is on the #ToBlonglist and was on audio at the library and it‘s short! 😜

It‘s set in a very near dystopian future as two siblings try to find their way. I ended up quite liking it - not sure what was going on at some points but I appreciated the wordplay and plays on words.

I liked it enough to try the companion book when it comes out next year.

ChaoticMissAdventures Good to know! I also don't get on with Smith, though I really want to. Maybe I will try the audio now. 6d
squirrelbrain The narrator was weirdly flat / monotone but I soon got used to that @ChaoticMissAdventures - and speeding it up helped! 🤨 6d
ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain oh that is annoying, I have been listening to this one and she is also very monotone 6d

TrishB Same with Smith! Always makes me feel like I‘m a bit dim. 6d
Deblovestoread I‘m glad I‘m not alone. I might give it a shot if it makes the short list. 5d
sarahbarnes I do love her, and I haven‘t read this one yet so I‘m excited to see it on the list! 5d
squirrelbrain @ChaoticMissAdventures - I wasn‘t sure if the format of The Mobius Book would work on audio so, luckily, I have a used hard copy. 5d
squirrelbrain Exactly! @TrishB 🤦‍♀️ 5d
squirrelbrain It‘s only short as well @Deblovestoread so worth giving it a go. 5d
squirrelbrain I hope you enjoy it @sarahbarnes - I‘m sure you will! 5d
BarbaraBB I wasn‘t a real fan of this one 5d
Hooked_on_books This was one of my tried it before and bailed books. I won‘t be going back to it! 3d
