Welcome to Litsy!

2024 #BookSpinWrap Up

Not my best year but 21 out of 24 and 34 bingos isn‘t too bad.

Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks for continuing to host one of my favorite challenges. 🩵💙🩵

Ready for January's #bookspin!

#doublespin #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

No #bookspinbingo for me! December was definitely a rough reading month for me -- if it wasn't an audiobook (not my preferred format), it was hard for me to finish anything! Still, it was a successful year overall, and I'm definitely ready for 2025!

@thearomaofbooks

As part of my New Year‘s Resolution to read a quarter of the books I own but haven‘t read, I‘ve created myself this bingo board!

With the understanding that I am not allowing myself to buy a new book until I have a bingo! I‘ll be using the hashtag #UnstackMyShelf if anybody wants to use this.

@PuddleJumper ‘s #NoBuy2023 challenge was an enormous inspiration for this!

Here is my first #TBR for 2025! I am continuing to participate in #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo & #roll100

A hard to interpret picture but I have 12 Bingo boards in play for December and only one Bingo among them all (and of course it‘s on my BooksSpinBingo that‘s not in the picture) for ease of tracking I typed out all the boards and just use colors related to the book cover.

Here is my #bookspinbingo card for my #DecemberTBR, last tbr of 2024!

My #bookspin pick is:
Christmas and Other Horrora
My #doublspin pick is:
Cruel Winter With You

I had an exceptionally good November for #BookSpinBingo. I finished both my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books and got 3 bingo lines as well!
@AromaofBooks

This was a pretty rough month for me, between illness, family stuff, and just overall anxiety...and my reading suffered for it as well. I just had such a short attention span! Fingers crossed that I'll finish the month strong.

PS Forget to say that one book can cover as many prompts as you find!!

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo board for my #NovemberTBR. I can‘t believe it‘s November already. My #bookspin pick is Graveyard Shift, a new novella by M.L. Rio
My #doublespin pick is Carl‘s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, the second Dungeon Crawler Carl book.
A few carryovers from October and continuing to focus on reading what I own.

#bookspinbingo #November #2024

Here is my final #bookspinbingo board for October.
#bookspin pick The Embroidered Book was a DNF but off the TBR
I did get halfway through my Oathbringer reread so #doublespin done
4! #bookspinbingos!

I actually got a bingo for October #bookspinbingo Didn‘t have enough time to complete another book, so I still have my doublespin book to read.

Had a slow week with doctors appointments but we managed a bingo! @TheAromaofBooks Updated #October #BookspinBingo

Hoping I can finish up a few this weekend since Im still incapable of fully being back at work.

Made a quick bingo board so I could get some points for some shows. Been saving season two of CM evolution to binge this month and I did it in the past 2 days 😝 Also my son and I have been working on a cruella puzzle since the end of September. Will share that in the next post. Puzzles and #audiopuzzling are kind of my thing lately. #HauntedShelf #SkeletonCrew

Here is my #bookspinbingo October TBR!

My #bookspin pick is The Embroidered Book by Kate Heartfield

My #doublespin pick is Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson - continuing my Stormlight Archive reread.

Update on #lgbtqbookbingo2024 #lgbtq @Kenyazero

Planning on reading Giovanni‘s Room for published before 2000 and need to find a aro/ace book!

Anyone have any suggestions?

#asexual #aromantic

It was a good September for #BookSpinBingo. I finished my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin selections and got a bingo as well! @TheAromaofBooks

#september #bookspinbingo

I actually finished several more books this month, but leaned heavily on books NOT on my TBR! That's okay, I still had a #bookspinbingo!!

@thearomaofbooks

A pretty good August for me. I didn't finish my #DoubleSpin choice but I did finish my #BookSpin choice and got a bingo. @TheAromaofBooks #BookSpinBingo

I almost forgot to post 🤣! Here‘s my #bookspinbingo list for September! So excited for these reads!

#Bookspin #Bingo

With only 4 months left in the year 😱 I hope to concentrate on challenge prompts #52Books24, #24in24, #192025 to name a few.

@TheAromaofBooks

I actually got my #bookspin & #doublespin list done ahead of time! I use it to work my way through my own list of essential women writers. I'm going to try a #bookspinbingo board this month, as well, so I made a separate list for that.

Here is my #bookspinbingo card for the month of August! #bookspin #doublespin

Here‘s my August Bookspin Bingo TBR!

My #bookspin pick will be The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson - starting my series reread in preparation for book 5‘s release in December.

My #doublespin pick is Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

Two bingos and almost two more for my July #bookspinbingo -- that has to be some kind of personal record! Many thanks to @TheAromaofBooks for a quite favorable board. 😁

Missed a blackout by one square! Halfway done with Bookshops and Bonedust but just ran out of time. It will give me a head start for August! Still happy with my progress, read some great books last month! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Here is my #AugustTBR, this summer is flying by!
I will be participating in #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo & #roll100
Also starting my Stormlight Archive reread in preparation for book 5‘s release in December!

I'm posting my list even though I might fit in one more book in July. 🤞 I'm trying to knock out my BOTM reading challenge after getting sidetracked by life earlier this year! #bookspin #doublespin #Bookspinbingo

I know we are already halfway through July but I finally made a bingo card. Technically the first one I have committed to my bullet journal for the year. I am unaware if I have gotten bingos from earlier months because I just haven‘t gotten around to tracking them. I will catch up eventually 😆 #BookSpinBingo

It's time for my July #BookSpinBingo card! Let's see what is in store for July!

Junes #bookspinbingo board wasn‘t too bad.

Here is my #bookspinbingo card!

My #bookspin pick will be She‘s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica
My #doublespin pick will be Ghost Station by S. A. Barnes

Here is my final #bookspinbingo card!
#bookspin & #doublespin reads done and 5 bingos completed.

June was a really good #BookSpinBingo month for me. I finished my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin choices and also got a bingo! Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks for hosting!

I actually read more than my board shows. I read some books that weren't on my board🤷

And just like that we are halfway through the year. TBH I thought time would slow down a bit in retirement but it doesn‘t seem to make a difference. Keeping it loose in July.

@TheAromaofBooks #Bookspin #DoubleSpin #BookspinBingo

I finished Ruin Me By Midnight by Ginny B. Moore and it was fabulous. Funny and steamy and very entertaining. 5⭐️
Not in Litsy yet though I did submit a request.
Another #bookspinbingo!

I'm BAAACK!!! I never would have guessed that tripping when I was running would lead to the discovery of an autoimmune disease. The last few months have been exhausting. I took some time off of my blog to focus my limited energy on my job, but now I'm excited to read all summer long! #bookspinbingo

May‘s board with 3 bingos. Updated #Bookspin #Doublespin progress. And June‘s board ready to go.

@TheAromaofBooks

The 2nd day of the month continues to be one of my favorite bookish days. I love building my board every month. I love going to bed on the first knowing the following morning I get to start my day with coffee and #BookspinBingo.
Thanks Sarah for the joy this brings.
