The Merry Month of May

The end of April / beginning of May completely got away from me. The real estate market is insane right now. 😅 I haven't looked at the post yet....that will be my next stop. Here is my #bookspin list for May! ❤️📚

My May #bookspin list is all set to go. I should finish the Greater Charlotte Bookcrawl tomorrow and the number of books I‘ve bought this month is, frankly, obscene. I have given those purchases two spaces on my list. I plan to visit my favorite local indie for Indie Bookstore Day on Saturday, and I know I‘ll buy books there, too, so that day gets a spot on the list. May also begins a book buying ban because my bank account says 😱.

It's been awhile since I completed all my goals for a readathon, so I'm very pleased with myself.
Finished Alternate Routes ✅ So-So
Finished Lore: Dreadful Places ✅ Pick
Finished The Declassification Engine ✅ Pick
Started (and finished) The Wager ✅ 5 🌟 Pick
Started All The Traps of Earth ✅

Thank you @Andrew65 for hosting, and I'll see you again for the #20in4 readathon at the end of the month.

#MagnificientMay

Andrew65 That‘s brilliant, well done 👏👏👏🙌🍾🥂🥳 (edited) 2y

TheSpineView Well done! BTW, looking for a good Sci-Fi book to read. Has anything stood out to you recently? I like both Space Opera and hard Sci-Fi. I just need great characters. 2y

bthegood good job - 👏 2y

See All 6 Comments

RamsFan1963 @TheSpineView I really enjoyed The Robots of Gotham by Todd McAulty. It had a lot more depth than it blurb of humans vs robots makes it seem. I also like Argonaut by Stanley Schmidt and Through Darkest Europe by Harry Turtledove. I guess the last one is more alternate history, but still a very good book. 2y

TheSpineView @RamsFan1963 Thanks so much! I'm in the mood for a good Sci-Fi 2y

I‘m pretty pleased with my book stats for May with a month with lots of work pressure & COVID that triggered my asthma & left me fatigued, I managed to finish 10 books including 2 for buddy reads (+ portions of 2 ongoing), 1 for my virtual foodie book club (I both read & listened to Taste), caught up with 3 books in a cozy series & finished up book 5 to do a book tour review in June. I also read 2 books & completed all the activities for my⬇️

DebinHawaii …library‘s #AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth Challenge I also finished an #ARC for another book tour review in June & started 2 other books. All in all, a pretty good reading month. Taste & Lost Among the Living were my favorites & will end up on my 2022 Best list. 📚📚📚🤗📚 3y

I know May is half done but I wanted to throw out some #BFC2022 goals for May. I need to read 8 more to make this goal. Currently averaging 34 active zone minutes. I am on hold for #LitsyLove at the moment because I have a truly sucky mail situation currently but I am going to write all of you back! I am moving the first week of July. I cannot wait to have reliable access to mail again. 🔑 📫

My #TBR for May is once again, way too ambitious, but it‘s good to have goals. 4 #buddyreads for #sundaybuddyread & #pemberlittens & Taste for my bi-monthly virtual foodie bookclub (e-book & audiobook). A few titles I‘m going to try to get to for the #AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth challenge through my library & I‘m on a June book tour for the 5th book in Ellery Adam‘s Secret Book & Scone Society Series & I need to read 2-4 before it.🤷🏻‍♀️📚

My #BookSpinBingo board for May reflects that I‘m a mood reader. Sometimes I think I should be more ambiguous but this gives me a structure.

I expand the orilius magical readathon for this month and probably for June. This month I will like to read more books by Asian or from Pacific Islands authors. Also, in many countries we celebrate Mother‘s Day so it is an opportunity to read about mother/family/couple/siblings relations.

Here is my #MayTBR
My more free tbr for April worked great so I‘m doing it again. Here is my book cart with books I most want to get to. On top are some in progress and my physical #Roll100 picks. I also will try to chip away at my Kindle & Audible tbr.
I will be participating in #bookspin #doublespin & #bookspinbingo as well as various regular Readathons & ongoing challenges.

Happy June!
I finally jumped on the Storygraph train. So interesting to see my reading habits presented in this way. It‘s surprising to me the amount of nonfiction I read these days! Most months I read more NF than fiction! 📖
May #wrapup

BarbaraBB What‘s your handle on The Storygraph? 4y

Chelsea.Poole @BarbaraBB I have no friends there! I actually haven‘t even explored that side of things there. I‘m cpoole and I‘d love to be friends there too! ☺️ 4y

BarbaraBB I‘ve followed you! It‘s not really a social app as far as I can see (haven‘t really explored either), but when you add a book you can see how your friends rated it. That‘s kind of helpful. 🤍 4y

@TheAromaofBooks ok lol now what do I do?😂

TheAromaofBooks haha Great start!! Okay, so I drew two numbers this morning, 2 & 18. Those are the “official“ BookSpin/DoubleSpin reads for the month & if you read them & let me know that you read them, they will count as two entries for my end-of-the-year giveaway!! If you want to do the bingo part, go to my page & I've posted a bingo card - you just match the numbers with your numbers (i.e. the top left corner on the card is 11, so you check that off if you ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) read Anne of the Island, etc.) If you tag me when you review books, I'm always interested to see how everyone is progressing!!! 4y

The Merry Month of May | Elvi Rhodes

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is TWO!! Our official #DoubleSpin number is EIGHTEEN!! 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 know I'm rambly so sorry!! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks 1 - Remember, this is a no-pressure challenge!! You can read one or both of these books. You can bail on them. You can bail on the whole challenge and try again next month. Whatever works!! This is supposed to be fun not stressful!! If you can't remember exactly how this challenge works, please check out my master post here https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1989556 or just ask!! ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 2 - I am planning to have a giveaway at the end of the year. Entries are reviews of #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books, but I will only know about them if you tag me, so please tag me whenever you read & review your book for the month. DNFs count! The goal for #BookSpin is to get a book off your TBR, so if you decide not to finish it, it's still off the list, so tag me & tell me why you bailed. ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 3 - I am tagging everyone who posted a list THIS MONTH (my tag list changes every month!!), so if you posted a list & you do not get tagged here, please let me know! It means I either accidentally missed your original #BookSpin post OR I wrote down your username wrong. Either way, I'm really sorry. Everyone is welcome to join this challenge, so if I missed you it was entirely by mistake - just let me know!! ⬇ 4y

See All 61 Comments

TheAromaofBooks 4 - If you do not finish your #BookSpin/#DoubleSpin book this month it is STILL ELIGIBLE for a giveaway entry as long as you complete it sometime in 2021!! Whenever you review it, just tag me as usual be sure to let me know which month it is for - there is a maximum of 2 entries per month, so if you don't let me know it's for a different month, it may not count. ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 5 & final - While I don't have time to reply to all of the comments to this post, I do read every one and love seeing which books got picked for you!! I do respond to any direct questions or confusion, so please feel free to ask away if something doesn't make sense or you need some clarifications. I know we have a lot of new participants!!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, and happy reading!!! 4y

The Merry Month of May | Elvi Rhodes

#MayReads #MayWrapUp
I've read 9 books (and i've got 1 DNF).. Not bad, definitely better than April, with just a book read!

No 5 stars this month ?, my favorite were "Red, White and Royal Blue" and " Quella metà di noi"

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Wonderful! 💖📚💖 6y

The Merry Month of May | Elvi Rhodes

#ReadingResolutions #MayStats🌸

My stats for May. A good reading month with 16 total Books finished. (We won't mention those started but not finished!) 😉There was just one that was only OK-the rest I really enjoyed & the 4 pictured were my faves for the month: a contemporary fiction, a historical fiction, a memoir & a true crime.

I dropped the ball on reviews again with 4 or 5 to review here & a bunch to review on Goodreads & NetGalley.😬
