July was a meh reading month for me. With a schedule change, jury duty, and taking a class in addition to my internship, I didn't get nearly as many books read as I was hoping to. 😕 BUT! August is a new month and I plan on using it to catch up on my #BOTMbacklog. Happy Reading everyone!

Oh my gosh, what the heck, we're only a week away from AUGUST?!? This summer has been busy but good. The peach harvest has officially started, so we are rolling into my busiest time of year - orchard time!! 😁 I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing what you all have been reading this month & am looking forward to your lists for August!

Remember, I'm using the same tag list all year, so just let me know if you want to be added or removed. Challenge info ⬇

TheAromaofBooks 1/5 - The rules for the #BookSpin & #BookSpinBingo challenges can be found by reading my masterpost on my blog (off Litsy) - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge - but the basics: if you want to play, make a list of 20 books you've been meaning to read & tag me when you post it!!

2/5 - You do NOT have to participate in the Bingo part of the challenge if that isn't your thing!! You can just read the ⬇
2y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) BookSpin or DoubleSpin or however many books works for you! Basically, choose a reading level that fits your life, and feel free to change it from month to month!!
3/5 - Just a reminder that the rules here are pretty loose!! If you have a huge/challenging book, feel free to let it take up more than one square. Some people struggle with super specific lists & prefer to go with categories (i.e. library book, Netgalley, mystery, from the ⬇
2y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) living room shelf, etc.), which is also fine! You can make separate lists for BookSpin & DoubleSpin so that you read one book from each. This year, I have a list of challenging books that I am using to read the BookSpin number from each month, but then make a list of my month's TBR to use for the bingo part. Make this challenge work for you!! Just ask if you have questions about whether something is “allowed“ - most of the time the ⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) answer is yes!!

This year, everyone is in charge of tracking their OWN ENTRIES for this giveaway!! This is being done via Google Form. You are also welcome to use this form even if you don't want to enter the ⬇

Allylu Working on it right now! 😊📚🎶 2y

AllDebooks July has been an awesome reading month for me. Very productive and enjoyable, not been able to do much else due to heatwave. I am soooo relaxed, lol 😆 2y

MemoirsForMe Aack! Already? Happy Harvesting! 🤗 2y

BarbaraJean August?!? Don‘t mind me, I‘m just over here racking up the unread BookSpins… 😩 I think August‘s list will basically be the same as July‘s list, which was pretty much the same as June‘s list… 😆 (edited) 2y

kellyann28 🥲🥲🥲 Thanks for the reminder 2y

julieclair I love making my list each month! I have yet to get a bingo, but hope springs eternal and I always enjoy my reading. I hope your peach harvest goes smoothly. 🍑👍 2y

Bookbuyingaddict Hi 👋🏻 sorry 😣 I missed June and july due to covid ! And hols but whoop whoop 🙌 I‘m back 😆 2y

Susanita I think I‘m going to pause the spinning for a while. I love the idea, but I‘m spending more time managing my lists than actually reading! 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Susanita - I totally get it!!! Would you like me to take you off the tag list for now? Or you can stay on but just not participate until you're ready, whichever works for you!! (edited) 2y

Susanita I think take me off the list for now. 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Susanita - Sounds good!! Just let me know if you ever want to jump back in. And if you read any of your BookSpin/DoubleSpin at any point this year, you're still eligible for the giveaway!! 2y

Grrlbrarian I‘m in for August! Off to post my list 😊 2y

Y‘all. It is still in the 90‘s here in South Georgia, but I‘m tying to get in the fall spirit!

Bookwormjillk This has been pretty miserable! 5y

Scochrane26 I think we have 1 or 2 more 90‘s days here in ky, then it‘s supposed to drop. Planning to take youth group to corn maze on Sunday, so it will definitely rain—we have a history of not being able to go because of weather. 5y
