Bingo! | Rosemary Wells

Here is my first #bookspinbingo board for 2026! I have a busy month so my TBR is set up for lots of mood reading.
#bookspin pick: The Haunting of Payne‘s Hollow by Kelly Armstrong (already done!)
#doublespin pick: The Devils by Joe Abercrombie - I‘ve had this on 3 months of TBR‘s so let‘s see if I finally get to it…

The Tomten | Astrid Lindgren, Viktor Rydberg, Harald Wiberg

#midwintersolace #naturalitsy
At night, in deepest winter, the tomten visits all that live on the farm - humans and animals - carrying his little light. A lovely book for younger children.

Wake Up, Rooster!: An Animal Friends Reader | Liza Charlesworth

The #ToB26 shortlist
Many of these wouldn‘t have made my shortlist—there‘s several from the longlist that I‘m excited to read so really looking forward to #wintercamplitsy
The Director isn‘t easy to come by for me, and I have no interest in Bunny. Metallic Realms is outside of my typical read but I‘m willing to give it a try. Currently reading The Unveiling (what in the world is going on there!?) and next up is The Catch.

squirrelbrain I‘ve just started The Director on audio - it‘s OK so far, but nothing stellar (yet!). I agree - although I don‘t hate this list, I would have chosen other books from the longlist. 4w

BarbaraBB I am reading the tagged and enjoying it. I have a Dutch copy of The Director but can‘t get The Unveiling here yet

If You Love It, Let It Kill You

sarahbarnes I‘ve somehow only read one of these. We‘ll see how I do! 4w

Wake Up, Rooster!: An Animal Friends Reader | Liza Charlesworth

It‘s here! The #ToB shortlist! But, ugh, it‘s a bunch of the books I looked at and thought, “maybe this one won‘t make it… 🤞” Oh well, here we go! #ToB26

Ruthiella Let‘s hope you are happily surprised if you read those you were less enthused about. 🤞 4w

BarbaraBB That‘s what I always hope for too @Ruthiella 😊although I am pretty happy either way this year‘s shortlist! And there‘s #WintercampLitsy of course, where we Littens will vote for three more reads to read in January and February. We are known for our excellent taste lol 😂 4w

fredthemoose @Ruthiella Thank you—I‘m sure I will be! I looked closer and there are several I‘m looking forward to. But I may just let myself skip We Love You, Bunny and assume it‘s not for me… 4w

fredthemoose @BarbaraBB I‘m definitely looking forward to #WintercampLitsy! I‘m sure there will be several I like and wouldn‘t have come across otherwise. There‘s so much to read in the next 3 months! 4w

BarbaraBB So much to read indeed 😊 4w

Chelsea.Poole I don‘t want to read Bunny either 😝 4w

fredthemoose @Chelsea.Poole Thank you for understanding! I read Rouge and was not a fan. Bunny is definitely going in the lower priority tier… 4w

I Spy on the Farm | Edward Gibbs

Okay friends, I've created another Canva document, this one with bonus #ISpyBingo boards!! These boards each have a theme and are 4x4. These are “optional“ boards (as opposed to the monthly boards, which of course are REQUIRED OR ELSE 😂) I will post the link, and I'm also going to go ahead and upload each board onto Litsy next, but I am not going to tag everyone on every board - you can just look and see them at your leisure. I managed to come ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) up with six boards before my creativity ran out, but it's possible that I'll be struck with inspiration and add a few more before the end of the year!! Let me know what you think!!

BarbaraBB Love it Sarah! And I hardly dare ask but will you make an I Spy challenge on Storygraph? I loved adding my books over there 🥰 1mo

rockpools These are such fun! If I read nothing else next year, I‘m determined to read a book with a scarecrow on the front! (Preferably from the adults section of the library - kids would be way too easy). I also appreciate you for making them optional!! Thank you ☺️ (edited) 1mo

ElizaMarie I am excited to see your “mandatory“ boards this coming year! I think I am gonna try to solve them all year long, since I struggle (but love them). These extras will be thrown in throughout the year too! Thanks again! 1mo

OriginalCyn620 Yay! I‘ve been playing around on Canva trying to design ones I had ideas for. I hope they turn out as nice as yours! 1mo

thebacklistbook https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/85a6eb78-a914-4e84-a200-9073f75... @BarbaraBB 1mo

thebacklistbook Although it doesn't seem to match the boards... 1mo

willaful Great boards! 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraBB - I am definitely going to get the main monthly prompts on Storygraph, and will try to add the optional boards as optional prompts haha I am slowly getting them added in. I love SG but their challenge set-up is a little clunky 😂 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @thebacklistbook - That is this year (2025) - I will have a fresh SG challenge for 2026!! 😁 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @ElizaMarie - I posted the January 2026 board the other day, which included the link to all the 2026 monthly boards in case you want a preview!! I'm working on getting it on Storygraph as well. 😁 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @OriginalCyn620 - I can't wait to see them!! I found a grid and uploaded it and then just use that inside the graphic. I added a text box inside each grid square, which is a little tedious, but after that I just copy the page and change the background/text but don't have to worry about recreating all those text boxes!! 1mo

OriginalCyn620 @TheAromaofBooks thanks for the tips! 1mo

Lauredhel thanks, what fun! *goes looking for farmer romances* 1mo

BarbaraBB @thebacklistbook Thanks! That‘s the one I‘ve been adding my books to in 2025! Loved that! 1mo

thebacklistbook @TheAromaofBooks the end date was 2026 on it so I wasn't sure. 1mo

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks ooo I missed it! I am gonna go look now :) thanks 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @thebacklistbook - I love to do things in a confusing manner so this year I've been starting a new board each month, but giving myself a full year to finish it. That way I don't have a million prompts that get checked off in January and then not as many the rest of the year. So I set the SG challenge up to last two years because my December 2025 board is (for me personally) from December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026 😂 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @ElizaMarie - I realized you aren't on the #ISpyBingo tag list - would you like to be added? I try to post the monthly boards about a week before the new month starts. Or anyone can download them all ahead of time from Canva. 😁 1mo

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks Yes please add me - thank you - I thought I was on the tag list (oops) 1mo

julieclair These are SO creative and fun! Thank you, Sarah. You‘re a rock star! ⭐️ 1mo

Lauredhel If anyone's confused like me, I think John Connelly is supposed to be the Irish author John Connolly? It took me a bit of searching 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @lauredhel - That was probably me misinterpreting Lise's handwriting 😂 Sorry about that!! 1mo

Read4life Thank you, Sarah! 💙💙💙 1mo

Wake Up, Rooster!: An Animal Friends Reader | Liza Charlesworth

I brought these home from the library last week, my first stack of #ToB26 from the long list.

ChaoticMissAdventures I have been eyeing The Catch, will be interested to see if you like it! 1mo

BarbaraBB Great haul. I have The Catch and So Far Gone waiting for me too. I am also interested in Theft and of course I loved The Correspondent, which you will too 💕 1mo

squirrelbrain Great haul! The only one that‘s not on my list is the Johnson. 1mo
