Is the over reading per 2 weeks?
I have under read one of the spins at least.
I vote for respin!
But I can look for books about fabric (?!)

That is one of the most amazing books I've read. I think of it all the time.

35559 I found [bookcover:The Beginning Naturalist: Weekly Encounters with the Natural World|2065620 on my bookshelf which has green writing! (didn't think that would be so difficult) and it is all about nature. I looked it up, and it has only 5 tags for nature, because it has been barely tagged! I looked over the rules again, and it looks like we only need 5 people to have tagged it for this round? Or did I read it wrong?

35559 Finished Apeirogon by Colum McCann
A Handful of Earth, a Handful of Sky The World of Octavia E. Butler by Lynell George

35559 I have two books I'm reading this week: Apeirogon by Colum McCann and
A Handful of Earth, a Handful of Sky The World of Octavia E. Butler by Lynell George (which is a bio).
I have room for another - should I try for a particular letter? (like and I?) or a pink cover?
I'm sure I can both at the library or on Libby.

35559 I also finished Dumpling Days by Grace Lin for school. I'll put it on the tracker, but it doesn't have a lot of letters, nor any real tags - so if we need to take it off, no problem!

35559 Just finished Me & Patsy Kickin' Up Dust My Friendship with Patsy Cline by Loretta Lynn which was a lot better than I thought it would be - a light biography of Loretta Lynn - and I'm not much for country music either.

I also finished Running in the Family by Michael Ondaatje - also a biography, and it was so different, my head was spinning a bit.
