Here's my #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo card for December.

November has been a busy month for me with a move and new job, but one thing I'm hoping for in my new situation is a healthy work-life balance. And by *life* of course I mean *books*

Bookwormjillk What else would you mean? Good luck with the new job. 2h

Finding this an odd read. I'm not exactly bored, but there's such a remove from all the characters that I have no one to be interested in. It's like reading a moderately entertaining history book.

#DoubleSpin

PuddleJumper That's exactly why I loved it 🤣 I loved all the citations and footnotes 21h
willaful @PuddleJumper They're the most interesting part! And unfortunately rather hard to access on my Kobo. 😒 20h
PuddleJumper @willaful Ah hadn't thought how it would translate digitally. I had a paperback though it was chonky 20h

@TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper

This month I tried to focus on #BookSpin and #Roll100 debt, and I think I did OK.

Spins: Letters, To The Men I Have Loved by Mirtha Michelle Castro Mármol (Nov #BookSpin); D: A Tale of Two Worlds by Michel Faber (July and Nov #DoubleSpin)

#Roll100: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (Nov); Spy x Family, Vol. 4 by Tatsuya Endo (Apr, Sep); D: A Tale of Two Worlds by Michel Faber (Apr); House of Blades by Will Wight (Nov)

PuddleJumper Nicely done! 23h
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Fantastic month!! 20h

Did not occur to me that there might be long waits for this 20 year old book, so I'm pretty late starting. #DoubleSpin

Ruthiella That also still surprises me, when an older book still has a wait list at the library, though I find generally it‘s ebooks and audio mainly, not hard covers. 2d
willaful @Ruthiella Apparently they've done a show of it, so everyone's interested again. I have access to a ton of Overdrive libraries (lawfully!) and they're all booked solid. And my local library throws out print books with reckless abandon. 🤬

I finally got it from Cloud Library, which is fine, but my Kobo is not handling the footnotes well. 🤨

There‘s always a book or two in my December picks that brings a tear to my eye. I hope that‘s true for you, as well. In fact, I hope you find yourself immersed in the type of settle-in and read-all-day book bringing forth a good old-fashioned ugly cry! #BookSpin #DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks

A prompt on my library‘s book challenge is to read the book that‘s been on your tbr the longest. I‘ve owned this book for over 20 years. I love Binchy‘s slow-paced, small town, Irish family stories, but they‘re long. This one is about a mother who leaves her family to live with her first love, but everyone thinks she died. Goes back and forth between mother‘s life & her daughter. Good story, felt the ending was too fast. #doublespin for March
