Book and blood have the same oo’s for me by the way. I’m from the north east. But I understand southerners will say book differently. So not only is everything you said is true we also have a crazy amount of local differences across the country with very short distances between them at times.

I tried seeing how id pronounce it if they were the same and i feel like it was roughly /ɜ/, what is it for you
Book is exactly the same as buck in my accent. So blood would be like blud. Sorry i don’t know phonetics.
