The Dirt: Vol VI

Happy new year! I hope your 2023 is off to a beautiful start! And I hope you loved your Wormy Wrap Up. I, for one, was very eager to brag about all the books I read this year (62!!!) 💅🏽 I had a lot of fun building this and already have sooooo many ideas for next year.

Check out your Wormy Wrap Up on Bookworm. If you are a new wormy, you can always import your libraries from other apps (now accepting Goodreads, Storygraph, and LibraryThing) and get your Wormy Wrap Up! I’m thinking about doing mini wrap-ups at the end of every season too 👀

Play Bookworm Bingo

Play along with me this year as we read our way through our Bookworm Bingo cards. Here are the rules:

• Whenever you finish a book that satisfies one (or more!) of the squares, mark it on your bingo card, post it on social media, & tag @bookworm.readz

• The book must be marked as “finished” in bookworm in the year 2023

• Worms who get BINGO (a full horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line) will get a special prize

🎧🐛 ear worm: this podcast episode that is a 2.5-hour-long recap of the prince harry book. Grateful that I was able to tune into an interesting & comprehensive summary of this book because I was absolutely not going to read it. Although after 30 minutes of the podcast I was like "ok got it" and stopped listening. Let me know what you think!

With much love, joy, and abundance,
