Finally a month where I got an #ISpyBingo bingo! 2 in fact.
I spent a month of my life audio-puzzling to this 3,000 piece puzzle… and loved it!
Hey friends!! Here is February's #ISpyBingo board!! Just a reminder that all of this year's boards (plus a few bonus ones!!) can be found in this folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/194F-B5hCHpDSBfHiO5KnbYxoQmXgKJl-?usp=sha... You're welcome to do one per month or work on all twelve all year long!! This is also set up as a Storygraph challenge (link below) if you want to use that for tracking. Good luck!!!
pickThe Baudelaire siblings find themselves at the last safe place and must observe the people gathering to decide if they are villains or volunteers. But they come to realize that things are not always so black and white.
This has always been my favorite installment of the series. The Hotel Denouement is such a fun setting, with a ridiculous organization system, and many previous characters make reappearances to help or hinder the children's task.
pickAlright, this book has been the hilarious subject of many of my book friends so I finally caved & read it. It was ridiculous in the best guilty pleasure way. Although the premise of a minotaur milking farm is silly to begin with, the romance itself was actually decent and well developed. So much so that I immediately read A Blue Ribbon Romance which tells the story from Rourke's POV. The rest of the series follows other human/creature pairings ↩️
pickDecent romance. Didn't particularly wow me but I didn't hate it. I liked the insight into Indian culture but wished there was more discussion about Diwali itself. Despite being in the title, it felt glossed over. I read this with my irl bookclub, which was interesting since none of my friends generally read romance so it was funny to hear their thoughts on some of the cliches and tropes that I'm more used to as a romance reader
pickThis felt like Sherlock Holmes with a queer sci-fi twist. Set in the future, when humans have colonized Jupiter after Earth is no longer habitable by living on ringed platforms that circle the planet. Mossa investigates a disappearance & calls on her old flame for help since the missing man is a fellow scholar at the university. Older does 'show, don't tell' very well and the setting is so immersive (& cozy) despite little explanations off the bat
A fun one! This is an I Spy version, with the full poem printed inside the covers. The book itself is composed of themed images, such as “Not a Creature Was Stirring” and “It Must Be St. Nick”, with lists of items hidden in the photos. I found it very relaxing to do a page before bed 😄
