Spinning
Spinning: Choreography for Coming Home | Janine Kovac
38 posts | 1 read
When Janine Kovac gives birth to micro preemie twins nearly four months before they are due, she channels the strength that carried her through a successful ballet career. But old habits bring up bitter memories-the quest for perfection and a career-ending injury. In the world of the NICU ballet breeds hope. Can it also bring resolution?

Here‘s my June #bookspin list

Lots of room for mood reading this time with library, kindle unlimited and romance titles, as well as books that fill the #nsr22 categories I have remaining @Nessavamusic and my Hollows series reread.

Also included the #pemberlitten reads which I‘m hopelessly behind on but am hoping to catch up.

#roll100 books for this month plus an #authoramonth title
And National Velvet for the #childrensclassicread2022

TheAromaofBooks I'm behind on #PemberLittens as well!!! Trying to catch up this week as I'm actually really enjoying both books! 2y

#BookSpin day is the best day! Here‘s my first #BookSpinBingo board of 2022. My #BookSpin pick is from my #NewYearWhoDis list, and my #DoubleSpin will finish out a series, so I‘m excited about both! Hoping for a bingo this month—lots of possibilities, because I‘m way too optimistic about my January reading. 😁

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Looks great!!! 2y

So, I didn't get a blackout, but I'm pretty pleased with my #bookspin bingo this month anyway. I dnf-ed my #bookspin title and didn't do my doublespin. But I did manage to get 4 bingos, so I'll take it.

Here‘s my #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m not sure how much reading I‘ll be doing but it‘s always fun to create a Bingo board 😁

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! And I agree - even when I'm not particularly trying to score a bingo, there is something about making the board & crossing books off of it that just is weirdly satisfying haha 3y

I read 20 books this month (I‘m not sure how as I‘ve been so busy, but there you go!)

Despite that I didn‘t manage that many bingos as I seemed to miss a square on nearly every line or column.... never mind, it‘s still good fun anyway! I count 5 bingos if we‘re allowed the 4 corners too.

Thanks Sarah - looking forward to not finishing again next month! 🤣

rockpools @Centique Please, take some of ours! 💨💦☔️💦🌊Although we‘ve had actual daylight for a whole two days running, now! Which has been exciting 🌞 Autumn‘s good too, though - I do like a bit of Autumn 🍂🍁🍂 (Basically, I‘ll take anything a bit different at this point!!) 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Centique - The truth is, I love all the seasons, and here in Ohio they seem to last just about the right amount of time - long enough for me to get a little bit tired of them & ready for the next 😂 I'll be super stoked about fall by the time we get to the end of August!! 3y

A beautifully written memoir. I loved how her chosen challenge of ballet helped to prepare her for the challenge that life gave to her, mothering fragile, micro-preemie twin boys. The many scenes in the NICU were relatable and well-observed. I was absorbed into the writing and also remembered my own experiences. Many years ago, I too gave birth to micro-preemie twin boys. Well done!
