It was the same every morning. Wake up, grab the ice skates, and head to the rink while the world was still dark.Weekends were spent in glitter and tights at competitions. Perform. Smile. And do it again.She was good. She won. And she hated it.Poignant and captivating, Ignatz Award winner Tillie Walden's powerful graphic memoir captures what it's like to come of age, come out, and come to terms with leaving behind everything you used to know.

It‘s a new month tomorrow? How did that happen? 😳 At least I somehow managed to read 5 books in July. Here‘s my August #BookSpin list.
Happy Reading to all! 🤓📖
@TheAromaofBooks

LiteraryinPA I‘m a big fan of 9 and 14! Enjoy! 3mo
BarbaraJean I LOVED 84 Charing Cross Road. Just a delight. And I have that same Snoopy cartoon on a bookmark--way back from my childhood!! 3mo
dabbe I want that Snoopy bookmark! #peanutsenvy 🩶🖤🩶 3mo

MemoirsForMe @BarbaraJean That book has been on my TBR forever. I‘m looking forward to reading it. Yay Snoopy! 🙌🏻 3mo
MemoirsForMe @dabbe Where would we be without our Peanuts! 😁😁😁 3mo
dabbe @UwannaPublishme #truth 💚💙💚 3mo
PurpleyPumpkin You‘ve got a great list there! I‘ve been wanting to read 84, Charing Cross Road for forever. If you end up getting to it, let me know and maybe we can do a buddy read! It‘s not even a long book, but somehow, I just haven‘t gotten to it yet. 😅 3mo
MemoirsForMe @PurpleyPumpkin Oh yes, let‘s plan a buddy read for 84, Charing Cross Road! Maybe in another week or so? Then we can both move another TBR off our list 😁 3mo
PurpleyPumpkin Sounds like a plan!🙌🏽 Let me know when you‘re ready to read!💜 3mo

Happy Reading to all!
And Happy Summer to you, Sarah! 🤗
@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I remember Eleanor & Park making me cry, but other than that don't remember anything else about it from when I read it several years ago 😂 4mo
MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks It‘s been on my bookshelf for at least several years! 😄P.S. I did receive your wonderful letter! I‘m just very behind on my correspondences. I hope to catch up next month. 😊❤️🤞🏻 4mo
TheAromaofBooks No worries; I don't think I wrote a single letter in June! I know you'll write back to me sometime!! 💕 4mo

MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads Want to start reading it next week? Just pick a day! 6mo
rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme I‘m going to be busy at the beginning of the week. How about Thursday? 6mo
MemoirsForMe Sounds great! I‘m usually a slow reader. But since it‘s about our fave show, I hope to move faster. 😁 6mo
MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads Oops! Forgot to tag you. See above 👆🏻 6mo
rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme Sounds great to me too! 🦇❤️ (edited) 6mo
MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads Looking forward to our DS #buddyread! 🧛🏻‍♂️ Are you still free to start this week? Any day this month is good for me. How will it work? A chapter a day? Do we create a post and share our comments there? As you can see, I‘m kinda new at this.☺️I‘m so excited to read this with you! 6mo
rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme I can start tomorrow. I think it would be fun to create DS-related post(s) and comment. (We might even discover more DS Littens.) I think a chapter a day would be good, maybe starting with the foreword by Kathryn Leigh Scott and introduction by the author. I‘ll try to post something tomorrow to get us started. 6mo
MemoirsForMe Yay! Great idea! I‘m sure there are more DS fans out there. Thanks for starting us off with the first post. Can‘t wait to read KLS‘s foreword. It will be fun to stroll back to Collingwood again and revert back to our childhood. 😊 6mo

MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks Thx Sarah, for the great tip…and for hosting this fun challenge 🤗❤️ 9mo
TheAromaofBooks The Chincoteague books are some of my favorites. I reread them a couple of years ago and was honestly impressed by how well they aged. When I read Stormy, I cried my eyes out! 9mo
PurpleyPumpkin Another great list! Hope you‘re having a fun reading month. 😉 9mo

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Glad Lord Sidley arrived! Jeeves is up next. I got him from Chrissy earlier this week, but just didn‘t have much reading time this week, so I couldn‘t get him mailed by the end of October. So he‘s coming with me to Europe, and I‘ll mail him mid-November when I return home. 12mo
TheAromaofBooks Sounds good!! No rush... December is already scheduled for catch-up 😂 12mo

I‘m pondering my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin choices for September. These are the ones I‘ve narrowed it down to. 😁 I‘ve narrowed down my BookSpin choices (from my Kindle TBR) to the ones on the top row, and the bottom row are for my DoubleSpin: something from the 1930s-40s for #192025. Any recommendations from these (if you can make out what they all are!)?
