This month I am doing something different with #Bookspin. 1-10 will be the books in this picture and 10-20 the ones in my One Year One Shelf Challenge. @TheAromaofBooks
Unbelievably, we less than a week away from MAY. MAY! Whoever is in charge of the speed of time needs to take their foot off the accelerator! 😂
If you'd like to play along with #BookSpin/#DoubleSpin/#BookSpinBingo this month, it's time to start thinking about your lists!! Some of you have already been posting them, so sorry if you get tagged in this reminder post when you're already ahead of the curve!!
I think this layout for May is going to be my fav so far! I will write the numbers for bingo in the flower pots and as I read the books, the flowers will grow and bloom! 🌹 🌺 🌸

Here‘s my #bookspin list for May🌷
#roll100 has been fun way to keep reading books off my shelves so my goal is to read all 3 each month.
One spot each for #lmpbc and #authoramonth
All 3 #pemberlittens reads. I‘m going to start out following along with chapter a day schedule, but might shift to reading straight through if it‘s as hard to keep up with as last time.
Added spots for #nsr22 reads, hollows series and categories for mood reads.
My May #bookspin list. I'm working through a lot of series and trying to read almost entirely off my physical tbr shelves. 🤞
@TheAromaofBooks
It‘s a wrap! Where did May go? Seriously, where?
I did very well this month... boosted by a lot of shorter stories, some YA reads, and a series of novellas.
On to June, which for me HAS to be catch-up month....I‘ve fallen behind on A LOT of things.

Just keep swimming swimming 🐠 reading reading 📚📖

@thearomaofbooks May 2021 #Bookspinbingo & #doublespin
Doing things a bit differently this month. Think it will do me some good to space things out.
May wrap-up! Crazy month in every way, but even with the backdrop of Covid lockdowns, the milestone of 100,000 deaths in the US, police murder, abuse, & violence, protest marches and riots.... a good reading month for me 😕 boy that sounds self centered today.
Surreal times, I swear they‘ve succeeded in making America great again, right back to the 60‘s! 🤬🤯
#MayWrapUp
#MayStats
And #BLM Black Lives Fucking Matter
My May possibilities....lots to pick from, and luckily a lot of short stories, so I might make a dent in this group. As usual, anything left over becomes June‘s or July‘s. 🤔😳🤪
#MayTBR
pickThis is such a simple, but beautiful story &, as someone who has been learning the importance of caring for family, it meant a lot to me. I'm so thankful I stumbled across it at the library.
May was better than expected, being such a busy month for the family. 16 books finished, 2 DNF, a total of 4200 pages (solidly in the middle for the year so far).
My over-booked #MayTBR!😁
🚀Ender‘s Game - Library book club/re-read
🐉Dragons in the Waters & House Like a Lotus - Continuing the Poly O‘Keefe series
⚓️Mad Ship - Continuing the Liveship Traders series
🔍The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - Next Poirot book
🥄Prufrock/Waste Land - Poetry pick
💡Inspired - In-progress read
🇫🇷Hunchback - #hugonuts buddy read with @Lcsmcat
⏳Hangman‘s Daughter - buddy read with @TheReadingMermaid
🌳Uprooted - Book club
Looking forward to doing a photo challenge based on songs.... I mean, what is better than books and music?!? #amonthofsongs @OriginalCyn620 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I had a great reading month of May, especially considering it was the end of the school year. I had some reading ups and downs. I think my favorite book was the one in the middle - The Remains of the Day. I am excited to see what June will bring 😊
My May TBR. May be a bit ambitious, but we‘ll see how it goes. Working my way through my #netgalley shelf, for sure.
Well so far my #maytbr looks like this. Every single one is a Library Book due within the next 20 days at best. There are a couple I won‘t mind if I don‘t get to them but this is what‘s on tap for now. #readingresolutions
I'm catching up on some Litsy-ing tonight... it's been a busy week, and I'm happy to have an introvert night at home. 😊
Here's my May reading... I didn't finish half as many as last month, but they were almost all winners. Progress on annual goals: I finished 2 for #LitsyAtoZ (fewer than I'd hoped), I'm up-to-date on the Queen's Thief series (making 3 series I'm current with now!), and I'm staying on top of my #hpchapteraday. Good month!
I honestly had a terrible time picking my top choices. I loved so many of the books I read this month. No complaints about that! Posting with a picture of the Rocky Mountains from our flight over them yesterday. I exclaimed to Mr. B, "It's the back of a dragon!" He looked at me like I was insane. Nope, just reading a fantasy book!
Posting this again for anyone new to Litsy and wondering what #maybookflowers is about. Have a great weekend everyone!
May's upcoming book prompts, hosted by @RealLifeReading 🌷 I'll also give my mother a copy of the list. 😄 With all the iPhone buzz notes coming in, she's curious and interested to add a few extras. 📚
Putting this up again in case anyone missed it! #aprilbookshowers bring #maybookflowers
Happy Wednesday/Thursday! With the last few days of April ticking away, I'm putting up this list of photo prompts for May. #aprilbookshowers bring #maybookflowers (thanks @teebe for that!). Please tag me so I can see what you're up to and feel free to share the list! Looking forward to your posts!
