Respect for Acting | Uta Hagen
post image

Book mail!

If this---voice acting, practicing multiple languages, learning about recording, performing music again after a long hiatus (and adding a new instrument)---is a midlife crisis, I am enjoying it more than I expected. It's kind of terrifying but mostly in a good way.

LiteraryinLawrence All of those things sound really cool! 2mo

4/5⭐ As a reference it's wonderfully informative with tons of illustrations and photos. The author uses muslin to demonstrate so many variations of gathering, shirring, ruffles, flounces, godets, pleating, smocking, tucking, cording, quilting, stuffing, and darts. She also shows how combinations of these methods can be used to produce beautiful patterns in creative projects. I can see why this book is recommended in crafting circles so often.

No reading for me yesterday. Decided to learn a new stitch (brioche) and make a near ear warmer headband thing!

I have to get into audiobooks so I can craft and read at the same time! Anyone have any recommendations? I was turned off by the narrator in the last one I tried. 🙉🙈

Eyelit Recently listened to the immortalists and loved it - narrator was great too 2mo

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is SIX! Our official #DoubleSpin number is ELEVEN!! 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 me having to double tag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) 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 over 200 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. ⬇

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/4kTBMWAsCa9Cvmqs6

Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always ⬇
4mo
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!!!

PS The Google form is the updated 2024 edition!!!

TheAromaofBooks @ShananigansReads - Updated, thank you!! 4mo
Singout Thank you! Do we get an email like last year where we can track our reads? 4mo
TheAromaofBooks @triplem80 - For some reason I had just forgotten to add the 80 at the end of your username!! Updated now!! 😁 4mo
TheAromaofBooks @Singout - I have the form set so that it should send you a copy of your form and then allow you to edit it later as needed, so let me know if the email doesn't go through!! 4mo
willaful How handy -- my BS book, Nine Liars, is on my ereader at this very moment and I was hoping to get to it next. :-) 4mo
Suet624 Thank you! 4mo
robinb I‘ve got Before I Called You Mine and The Business Of Blood…sounds like opposite ends of the spectrum. 😂😂 4mo

Bookbuyingaddict Hooray 🙌🏻 whoop 🙌🏻 whoop 🙌🏻 x x x x 4mo
aperfectmjk Can you add me to the tag list? Sorry, I'm behind on my planning for this year thanks to Covid. 4mo
TheAromaofBooks @aperfectmjk - Absolutely, glad to have you along for another year!! Hope you are on the mend!! 4mo
Singout @TheAromaofBooks No, the email didn‘t go through and I‘ve been doing this for a few years now… Can you try again? Thanks! 4mo
TheAromaofBooks @Singout - I already downloaded the 2023 info, so could you just email me which spins you completed? Some of your entries did come through, so if you tell me month, and then BookSpin and/or DoubleSpin completed, I'll compare it to what I already have in the form and adjust as needed!! My email is itsthegoodlife15 at gmail 😁 4mo
Singout Sorry, I meant the one for 2024. I submitted the 2023 one no problem. Maybe you haven‘t had time to do the 2024 one which is fine! Every month I record my bookspins in the email right away. 4mo
TheAromaofBooks @Singout - Oh I am so sorry, I spaced and forgot you had started this conversation earlier and it was about the 2024 form 😂 I am not sure why it didn't send the email. When I fill out the form, I do get the email. Did you use this link? https://forms.gle/4kTBMWAsCa9Cvmqs6 4mo
Singout Done! Thanks! 4mo
Bookworm04 Oh for first time both numbers are current reads now didnt realise :) nice double spin - docters mistress ✅ , book spin woman in me current read how does this work 4mo
