Spinning Forward | Terri DuLong

Well, at least the #BookspinGods gave me one book that was already on my June TBR. 😂 I didn‘t have any Greater Charlotte Bookcrawl purchases on said TBR, but I have several that are super short, so I should be able to squeeze one of those in. #bookspin

My June #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin are
12 - You Are Fatally Invited (#NetGalley)
10 - Jane and Dan at the End of the World (#BOTM)

I'm looking forward to both of these. They are from #BOTM and #NetGalley, both of which I need to start reading more of.

Thanks @thearomaofbooks

Spinning Forward | Terri DuLong

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is TWELVE (again 😂)! Our official #DoubleSpin number is TEN (...also again??) !! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone‘s lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) having to double tag everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are a lot of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong ⬇ 1w

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) As always, the link to the masterpost about how this challenge works can be found on my profile or here - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - and the link to the Google Form where you can track your reads for the end-of-the-year-giveaway can be found here - https://forms.gle/2TgEz5N3NLq3GyV56

Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always ⬇
1w

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) have time to reply to them all!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and for making this challenge SO much fun!!

I'm going to post the Bingo board, and then come back and start the tag list on this post. Happy reading!!!

Close Knit: A Novel | Jenny Colgan

Here I am, snickering my merry way through another fabulous, community-focused Jenny Colgan novel with a misleading blurb and a cover that screams, “I‘m about a needlecraft store!” when all the knitting happens in people‘s homes.

Gertie wouldn‘t approve of the wee blanket I‘m making for my cousin‘s new baby, since she‘s into boring colours (sorry, Gertie), but it brings ME joy. I can‘t wait to block it and bring the spirals into their full glory.

monalyisha Your blanket is fab! 😍 2w

xicanti @monalyisha thanks! It used to be a horizontally striped sweater. I think this incarnation is a better contribution to the world. 2w

Larkken 😍 I'm obsessed with those colorful spirals 2w

xicanti @Larkken me, too! 2w

Unraveling: What I Learned about Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater | Peggy Orenstein

pick

Reread Unraveling for a traveling book club at my library. I hosted today‘s meeting at the NRT (Natural Resources Trust) Sheep Pasture. It was just as good as when I read it the first time — & the book club attendees agreed! How can you not love a book which begins, “Sheep don‘t look like they‘d be slippery.” It explores the process of making a sweater — from shearing the sheep, to spinning & carding the wool, to dyeing and (finally) knitting.👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1: It also explores the author‘s personal grief (her mother‘s recent death, her father‘s fast decline due to dementia, and her daughter‘s imminent departure for college), and her global grief during the pandemic as she yearns for community and climate justice. A+ research and writing. I especially enjoyed the section about natural dyes. Just fab. 🐑 1mo

monalyisha *Note: Book Club participants were treated to a live demo and a chance to get their hands on the tools of the trade: carding, spinning, and knitting (or crocheting). Here I am, working on my crone skills so I can fulfill my calling to live in an overgrown cottage on the edge of the forest. 🍃 1mo

Ruthiella I loved learning that the word “distaff” meaning “female” comes from this craft. 1mo

Soubhiville Sounds like a really cool and informative day! 1mo

ravenlee I‘ve always wanted to try spinning. I have a spindle but it‘s not something I‘ve been able figure out on my own, and it doesn‘t have the same draw as a spinning wheel in my imagination. 1mo

monalyisha @ravenlee I found the drop spindle pretty challenging! 1mo

julesG The drop spindle is challenging. 1mo
