Well, unbelievably we are in the final days of September! Which means we getting ready to enter the final quarter of 2023! My word!

More importantly, it means it's time to consider your October #BookSpin/#BookSpinBingo lists! 😁 Many of you have already been posting your lists, so sorry if you get tagged again. (Take a moment to feel pleased that you're ahead of the game!)

A reminder that for those participating in Scarathlon this year, any ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) books read for BookSpin/DoubleSpin/BookSpinBingo count as readathon points, so 10pts/hour. And if you tag your list as your Scarathlon TBR, you get the early bird points as well!!

As always, here is the link to how this challenge works: https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/

And the link to where you can track your BS/DS reads for the year: https://forms.gle/tc6U17AuVw4ssG2v8 ⬇ 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) I'm always available for questions. Can't wait to see everyone's lists!!!! See you all on the 2nd!! 1y

DGRachel I‘ve been working on my list all weekend and have two spaces left to fill in. I‘m trying to make sure to put it only things I know I want to read so I don‘t get stuck with bookspin being something that‘s just been rotting on my TBR. 😅 1y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick This is unbelievable. Time flies! 1y

This is part of my #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash tbr
Some books are for specific readathons. I‘m trying to follow @Staycurious bingo board. Maybe I change the board prompts that I assigned to these books shown here because I‘m still waiting for some books that I don‘t know in which prompt they fix better. Excited for this activity. I am going to try to read as much as possible🤗

Showing tbr before October 1st - 20 points

JudeCC Yay! Teammate!! 🤣😃🙌 Great choices!!! 2y

JudeCC I have Wild Country on my shelf and These VD. Let me know if you like them to add them to my TBR for December. 😃👍 2y

This month I read 8 books and 2,893 pages. Was a pretty good reading month and I‘m happy with myself for getting 8. Favorites for the month would have to be 1. Serpent and dove and 2. These witches don‘t burn. #halloweenwrapup #spooktober #octoberwrapup

While I‘m more partial to spring and summer, there‘s something very special about the light in autumn.

To my surprise, in the midst of attending 8 playoff games and 3 watch parties, as well as being stupid busy at work, I managed to read 6 books this month.
-The Brutal Telling (Penny)??
-Goldie Vance (Larson) ?
-Dog on it (Quinn) ?
-Gaudy Night (Sayers) ?
-The Chessmen (May) ???????
-Bruja Born (Córdova) ?‍♀️

Thanks to @Rudis for tagging me

1. I do like some kind of horror, but l generally prefer thrillers
2. Never tasted a pumpkin pie, so l'd like to try it. But l could eat any kind of apple pie
3. Don't have a preference. I'll read any good character
4. I'll never resist a haunted house!
5. Definitely Psycho
6. Everyone! Be my guest!

Rudis If you try pumpkin pie, may I recommend putting maple syrup on it? So good! 6y

@4thhouseontheleft is organising the secondo #Screamathon which takes place through October.
Choose a few spooky reads (horror, paranormal, creepy, but also particularly chilling thrillers if you like, this is a very flebile readalong), post your plans before October and let the usual readalong crazyness begin! 😆🙌🙌🙌

I'm currently choosing my reads 😄

IndyHannaJones I'm going to try damnit! 8y

bookwrm526 @TrishB Yes! It's a challenge to post a pic/pics of your faves that fit the categories. It's quite fun and I've found it a good way to rediscover things that have been hiding on my shelves. The hashtag lets people search for posts relating to the challenge 8y

RealLifeReading @Eyelit suggestions? Sure!! I just realized that I accidentally repeated a prompt this month!! Gaaaahhh 8y

AreeshaBilal @RealLifeReading now THERE'S an idea. (It'll give me an excuse to be there more often as well 😂 ) 8y

Eyelit I was thinking of these: tales retold, anthropomorphic characters, homages/pastiches (aka published fan fiction), out of this world, and tv to book or vice versa (because movie to book has already been done) 8y

Eyelit Haha nm on out of this world cause I just saw you already had it for this month! I need to pay closer attention apparently 8y

Eyelit Also: spy novels (I spy? 😁) or photography books would be good options too 8y

RealLifeReading Great suggestions @Eyelit! Will definitely add some of these in! 8y

Pinkmeghan @CareBear here it is! 8y
