I'm shocked I haven't heard of this book until now. As a handspinner myself, I was pretty familiar with the subject matter. That said, I still learned a lot along the way. I enjoyed her writing and thoughts and reflections on the industry. And yes, this is just a fraction of my own wool stash. The grey in the middle is jacob wool that is slated to become a sweater. My daughter is going to knit it for me once I'm finished spinning it.

julesG ❤️❤️❤️ I'm admiring your stash. And now I want to find my drop spindle and buy some yarn. 1w
julesG Fleece!!! My brain was already thinking of yarn and knitting 1w
bookishbitch @JulesGreads I understand! My brain does that too. What kind of drop spindle do you use? 1w

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Fiber stash! 😍 I‘ve been knitting more than spinning lately but now I too am itching to dig out one of my spindles and fleece. 😅 I also need to get my hands on this book. Stacked for sure! 3d
bookishbitch @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm what kind of spindles do you use? I'm a high whorler. 2d
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @bookishbitch I have a bottom whorl and a Navajo spindle. I‘m still getting the hang of the big Navajo one. 😅 2d
bookishbitch @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I learned on a bottom whorl. I've not tried a Navajo yet. It looks challenging. 2d

This year I‘m planning on knitting a reading snake. I think I‘ll call her Rebecca.

January‘s #bookspin is a category - The Storygraph‘s Genre Challenge and I‘m choosing Phoebe and Her Unicorn as my selection for prompt #6: A Graphic Novel by a Woman or Nonbinary Person. #Doublespin is The Songbird and the Heart of Stone. I‘ve been on the fence about starting this one because the next book isn‘t out yet and I KNOW I will want it as soon as I‘m done with this one. Bingo board to come later. 🤩

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I love the Phoebe comics!! 2mo
Mollyanna Have fun getting to know Phoebe and Marigold. They are fantastic. 2mo
LiteraryinPA Phoebe is my favorite comfort read! 2mo

2025 has OFFICIALLY arrived because here is your first #BookSpin of the year!! 😁 I am SO EXCITED to Spin with all of you this year!! Just a reminder that I am using my new 2025 tag list, so if you don't get tagged today and would like to be added, please let me know (I may also have messed up your username).

The 2024 giveaway link is still live but I will be CLOSING that form sometime tomorrow, January 3, 2025, so please complete your entries ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) by the end of the day today!! I am actually going out of town for a week (looking for sunshine; not happening here in Ohio 😂) so the giveaway winners will not be announced until sometime around January 14, when I get back. Oh, the suspense!! 😆

Below is my usual text info/explanation and includes the BRAND NEW 2025 Giveaway Form link, for those of you who prefer to use it to track your Spins all year. As always, thanks for reading ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) along with me, and best wishes on tackling your new lists!!!

TheAromaofBooks Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is THREE! Our official #DoubleSpin number is SEVENTEEN!! 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 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. ⬇
