Welcome to Litsy!

A sugar scrub bar many Littens would like! 😂

The Matzah Ball is my December #BookSpin and Reading Lolita in Tehran is my #DoubleSpin - both of which I started in the last couple days. It‘s fate! Or something.

May‘s #bookspin selections. How is it already almost May? And I haven‘t started April‘s selection. 😳

Here's my April #Bookspin and #Doublespin. I'm sure I will enjoy the Tess Gerritsen book. Snel Geld (Easy money) is a financial thriller. I haven't read that genre before, but sure have experienced it at times - at the end of the month..😅 Here's to a new reading month!
@TheAromaofBooks

Yes! Here it is again, my bingo card for #bookspin and #doublespin, the April edition. Can't wait, as usual. @TheAromaofbooks

Out:
Matilda - Roald Dahl
Geestdrift - Daniel Hecht

In:
Sacred hearts - Sarah Dunant
Verloren - Harlan Coben

Was pretty happy with my February results. Knocked quite a bit off my tbr. Practically a new #bookspinbingo #bookspin #doublespin list for March ahaha!

My February #bookspin. I think most of these are for challenges. I ended up doing more than I intended. Oops.

First #bookspin for 2021!

I just finished reading my last #bookspin for the year. Thank you @TheAromaofBooks for a fun challenge this year! I did every month except January (so you get a cute picture of my pup Gus instead) & audiobook #doublespin starting in March. I got a good chunk of books off my TBR. Looking forward to next year!

Last #bookspin of the year!

Almost forgot to post my #bookspin 😱

November #bookspin list

@TheAromaofBooks

When it‘s snowing outside and it‘s Sunday...I have more time to play with my #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo list and display. I enjoyed using free spaces last month, but there were too many good e-book sales so I have too much on my tbr now. If I get through a good chunk Circe this last week, I‘ll switch that one out or free space it. I have high hopes for November since it‘s my bday month! #treatyoself

My October #bookspin. Changed it up and went with mysteries and other spooky (to me) reads.

Back for another round of #bookspinbingo. I'll only read the #bookspin and #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

Out this round:
Doctor Who: Winner takes all - Jacqueline Rayner
Songs of the humpback whale - Jodi Picoult

In this round:
Pride and prejudice - Jane Austen
The life-changing magic of tidying - Marie Kondo

My #bookspin for September. I‘ve been loving this to get things off my TBR.

August #bookspin. Hope it‘s a good one since it‘s my birthday month! Also a short one, since I‘m still working my way through June & July. 🤪

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is THREE!! Our official #DoubleSpin number is FIFTEEN!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone's lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card!!!

Just a few quick housekeeping items that I would really appreciate if you would take a moment to read -

⬇ ⬇ ⬇

I'm doing a single #bookspin for July, as well, and am excited to see which of these I will read!😃
@TheAromaofBooks

Here is my tentative list for #bookspin #bookspinbingo finally. I would REALLY like to catch up on some reading challenges in July, including #summerfun and popsugar summer reading challenge because apparently I can‘t stop from signing up for more challenges. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Here‘s to plowing through all 25 (and hopefully more??) to get back on track!

Finalized #BookSpin list for July! Some will be subject to holds from the Library but... 💪🏻

#BookSpinBingo

Enjoyed #bookspin so much last month, gonna give it another go. I love the idea of #bookspinbingo, but since I only participated last month figured I‘d just pick 25 books.

Thought I‘d give this a spin...eh see what I did there???

Kept seeing the tag #bookspin and would get overwhelmed thinking..there is no way I could read twenty books!!! Then I went to @TheAromaofBooks page and found out what it was and loved the idea! I have enough ever growing tbr list that I can‘t get through thanks to BOTM. And I get so much anxiety trying to pick the next book to read. So this breaks through both of those!

I have had a poor progress with #bookspinbonanza, but I will finish at some time 😎 for now, I think I will be a bit less ambitious and go for a single #bookspin for June 🙈
@TheAromaofBooks

Time for my #bookspin list! @TheAromaofBooks

This month all 20 numbers will be drawn in random order. I doubt I will get through all 20, but would like to knock a few off this list!

Instead of a #spinster #Quotsy I‘m sharing an article. I wish I could find the tweets about spinsters and thornbacks - I changed my name to reflect that discussion. I think some might appreciate this article, though. https://www.indy100.com/article/victorian-women-spinster-thornack-dr-bib-nichols...

#QuotsyJune19 #LitsyQuoteChallenge

#booksanding set during the 60s about a summer road trip. You will get the beach boys! This was long listed for the first ever #orangeprize and this is a fun slim book. Coming to terms with how you thought your life would be when the world has changed around you and you now have different opportunities. Can you change to take advantage of them? A nice palate cleanser of a book and I'm glad I read it at last.

Taking it way back to the 1996 #OrangePrize longlist to break me out of my epic reading slump with this very short novel #WomensPrize

This online essay should get @batsy all hot and bothered, but maybe she's already seen it. Anyway, thought I would post it here in case others might get their jollies from it... 😂😂
