Sorry 'bout that, Mom.

@TheSpineView (thanks for the tag! 😘)

1. My dressing-up days are over. I loved dressing up with the teachers at my high school, though. Left photo: I am a chubbier Belle. Middle photo: Me as Medusa. That snake-head monstrosity actually gave me cuts! Right photo: I'm Cruella de Vil. #funtimes
2. THE OCTOBER COUNTRY by Ray Bradbury has been a creepy, fantastic ride through these short stories.
If you read this far, you're tagged! 😂

TheSpineView Love those pics. Thanks for playing! 12mo

Jari-chan Your outfits are amazing! 12mo

Lesliereadsalot Terrific old pix! I love them. Wish I had one of me as Tina Turner (without the legs) when my kids were little. 12mo

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot I bet your legs are terrific! 🤩 I wouldn't have these if it weren't for one of the teachers in our English department; she documented everything! She's in the 3rd pic as Maleficent. 🖤🎃🖤 12mo

dabbe @Jari-chan Thank you! Those were some fun days. 🖤🎃🖤 12mo

Aimeesue The Bertha thing is so creepy. NO ONE likes the name Bertha as a lovely and mellifluous name. Liar. (edited) 1y

BarkingMadRead @Aimeesue it is 💯 messed up. So gross and super passive aggressive 1y

Aimeesue @BarkingMadRead so controlling. Red flag! Red flag! 🚩 Sigh. Too late. 1y

Bookwormjillk I keep confusing Rochester with Max DeWinter. We keep reading about these messed up men who believe themselves to be victims. 1y

Librarybelle I was so confused when the narration kept changing. Admittedly, this one is a bit of a struggle for me…I feel like I‘ve not found a good rhythm yet with the writing, and we‘re near the end! 1y

mcctrish @Librarybelle I keep wondering if I‘m the crazy one because WTF is happening 1y

5feet.of.fury The Bertha thing, separating her from Christophine… husband is a creep. Wish the zombi got him 1y

mcctrish @Aimeesue Bertha is brutal 1y

5feet.of.fury @Librarybelle yeah, I do not get this one. I read through 2 pages & had no idea whose POV or what had happened. 1y

Librarybelle Glad I‘m not the only one, @mcctrish @5feet.of.fury 1y

IndoorDame @Bookwormjillk This actually does remind me a bit of Rebecca in the sense that all of the characters are unreliable, but there‘s still something about all of them that draws you into their worlds when they‘re the ones talking, and the whole place is intoxicating and bordering on fantastical. 1y

willaful I continue to have no memory at all of having read this.

I'm furious and disgusted with Rochester. He's totally yellow-wallpapering Antoinette. 1y

willaful @Bookwormjillk yup! 1y

Clare-Dragonfly I still don‘t get why Richard wanted Antoinette to marry Rochester so badly. She had plenty of money, she could have lived independently! @IndoorDame Yes, I was also reminded of Rebecca, and you‘ve articulated why very well! 1y

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I wonder if he just didn‘t want to feel responsible for her anymore? She would have been fine by herself, I don‘t know why he felt the need to marry her off 1y

julieclair I am so disappointed in Rochester. He used to be one of my book boyfriends, but now he‘s off the list! 1y

TheBookHippie Sorry I bailed. Too much life going on to read this darkness. 😵‍💫 1y

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie you do you! No judgement here! 1y

I‘m sooo excited about both my #bookspin and #doublespin this month!!! I‘m definitely going to start off with The Last Devil to Die, those books always make me so cheerful! @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Enjoy!! 2y

Gissy I enjoyed And Then There Were None 🤗 2y

dabbe Two favorite books I used to teach the freshmen: SPEAK and AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. Kids LOVED that book (it's still my favorite Christie!). I can't wait to read what you think about it! 🧡🎃🧡 2y

IndoorDame @dabbe 🧡🧡🧡how fun that you got to teach Christie! 2y

dabbe @IndoorDame It was. I did a whole unit on detective fiction (so I could, of course, get in Mr. Holmes!) For their reward at the end we watched HERCULE POIROT'S CHRISTMAS right before Winter Break. #funtimes 🤩 2y

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: unabridged on 23 compact discs | J. K. Rowling, Jim Dale

• thursday throwback to the day I met Harry Potter ⚡️✨🪄 in jan 2018.

I spent my bday evening at Hogwarts at a Harry Potter-inspired event in Columbus, GA and it was soooo much fun. I'd love to take my son someday but after covid I'm sure big events like these won't be happening anymore ☹️ •

Bingo Palace | Louise Erdrich

Oh my gosh everyone I'm SO SORRY - Litsy is being INCREDIBLY slow and buggy this morning!!! WHY!

Anyway!! Here's the bingo card! First, I put our official numbers (3 & 15) back in the mix. Then I drew them all out & wrote them down as I went, meaning the official numbers are just mixed into the card with the rest! As you can see, 21-25 are both labeled with their numbers & also as free spaces, so you can use them to match however you ⬇

TheAromaofBooks Wrote your list. To score a bingo, just read books (in any order) that are in any row or column!!

I‘m tagging everyone who posted a #BookSpin list, so if you‘re being tagged, please don‘t feel pressured to participate in the bingo!! I know a lot of people thought it would be too much & just want to read their regular numbers, which is totally cool. I just didn‘t differentiate when I was writing down everyone‘s lists!!
⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks My next post (which I am NOT going to tag everyone in) will be a picture of my original list next to my filled-in bingo card, in case you would like an example. I‘m super excited about this month of reading!! Be sure to tag me in your posts so I can see your progress!!

PS As a reminder, only the #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin reads count as giveaway entries. The rest are just for fun!!!

You all are the best!!! 5y

Sarahreadstoomuch This is fantastic! Thank you! 5y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm YAY!!!! Filling out my card now! Thank you for this fun way of digging into my TBR! ❤️❤️ 5y

coffeewithbooks So what about the rest of the numbers and books? 5y

mollyrotondo Yayyy! Thank you! 5y

OriginalCyn620 Awesome! Thanks so much for doing this, Sarah! 😁 5y

TheAromaofBooks @MatchlessMarie 5y

TheAromaofBooks @thereadingunicorn - I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question? 5y

Maria514626 🥰👍🙌👏🎉 5y

Librarybelle So excited! I have plans to fill out my bingo card after work. Thank you so much for doing this! 5y

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! Just created my bingo card 🥳🥳SO MUCH FUN!!! Thanks for organizing, Sarah♥️ 5y

TheAromaofBooks @candority - Here's the bingo card!! 5y

candority Thank you, Sarah! 5y

squirrelbrain Just done my bingo card - so excited! 5y

jenniferw88 Yay! Still so excited! 5y

Smarkies I just laid out my bingo card and my "plan of attack" for the month. ?? 5y

Bookwormjillk Happy reading 👏👏 5y

coffeewithbooks @TheAromaofBooks like how do we read other books on the bingo? 5y

JenReadsAlot So excited!! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @thereadingunicorn - Everyone started with a list of either 20 or 25 books, so you read the books on your list that match the numbers in the bingo squares. Everyone has their own list, so they'll all be reading different books but the same numbers. You can see a sample here - https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1970952 - I have my list of books on one side & then how they fit into the bingo card on the other side. 5y

coffeewithbooks @TheAromaofBooks okay cool thanks I was very confused 5y

Mollyanna So excited. Now to strategize how to get as many bingos as possible. ☺️❤️ 5y

Butterfinger Thank you so much for doing all this. 5y

TheAromaofBooks @thereadingunicorn - no worries, this is my first month doing this one so it's a little complicated haha 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I planned for today to be my office day so that I can print a bingo card, fill it in, and compare it with the Summer Fun (and JR) bingo cards to see if getting at least one on all 3 is feasible! 5y

Addison_Reads @TheAromaofBooks can you add me to your tag list? I'm usually on it, but I wasn't this time. Thank you 💚 I'm off to fill in my bingo card and see what I'm reading first. 😀 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Addison_Reads - Absolutely!! Sorry I missed you!! You're on my list & everything... just somehow didn't get typed in!! 5y

Addison_Reads @TheAromaofBooks It happens. No worries.💚 I was stalking your page for this post anyway because I was excited to see the numbers. 😉 5y

VeganCleopatra I keep being forgotten or tagged last...how does one move up the priority list around here? 😆 jk Love this idea, looking forward to seeing what my card looks like. 5y

Gissy Well, it looks interesting.🎉I will choose my lines so I can read different genres since I'm still need to read June book spins that are related with summer📚📚📚🤗 5y

Gissy So those free spaces I can skip them as free or do I have to place those books there? I'm confused😳 5y

TheAromaofBooks @VeganCleopatra - Well, I write people down in the order that they post their lists, and then tag the in the order I wrote them down... so you gotta be quick to make your list, I guess! 😂 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Gissy - Since #BookSpin is traditionally only 20 books, some people chose to make their lists be 25 books long to fit the bingo, while others wanted to stick with their 20-book lists. So yes, read a book for the free spaces, but it can be any book, not one from your BookSpin list. 5y

VeganCleopatra Ah...well I guess I should get comfortable with the bottom of the list then. 🤦‍♀️😏 5y

Gissy Ok. Well I like my BookSpin list but I need to read other books too. Let's see. 5y

TheAromaofBooks @VeganCleopatra - Hey, someone has to keep the back of the line in order! 😁 5y

VeganCleopatra @TheAromaofBooks HA. I suppose I would be pretty good at that...hmm...perhaps this is all for the best after all. 😉 5y

BookishGirl06 Is it too late to try this if I didn‘t use the #bookbingo in my original post? 5y

TheAromaofBooks @BookishGirl06 - This is totally open to anyone and everyone who wants to join!! There isn't any prize or anything for getting a bingo, so it's not a competition, just a personal challenge, so you can jump in any time!! 5y

BookishGirl06 @TheAromaofBooks just want to double check. I have 5 books not including book spin pics so I realized I could try to fit those in the free spots 5y

rockpools Fun! Thank you Sara 😁 5y

TheAromaofBooks @BookishGirl06 - No worries!! I'm glad to have you along for the bonus BookSpin craziness!! 😂 5y

Clwojick These are the best kind of posts to wake up to! This is motivating me to get outta bed and start my day 🤣 There‘s #ButlletJournal pages to be made! ❤️ 5y

bookandbedandtea This sounds so fun! I'm excited to create my bingo card and see how far I can get this month. 5y

Powered_By_Plants @TheAromaofBooks thank you , You are AMAZING!! 🤩 now lets see how long it takes to get a bingo #funtimes 5y

BookwormAHN Fantastic, thanks 😸 5y

Sargar114 So fun! Thanks for organizing!!! 5y

sharread Should my Bingo card be numbered just like this one? 5y

TheAromaofBooks @sharread - So what you will do is match the books on your list to the numbers on the square. So your no. 9 book will be the top left square of your bingo card, then no. 20, etc. You don't have to actually number it if you don't want to, as long as your write in the book titles that go with each number. 5y

sharread Thank you this is awesome. The ❤ 5y
