Welcome to Litsy!

I'm not going to lie, for much of April, reading was TEDIOUS, so I didn't make nearly as much progress as I would have liked. There were a few books (including a couple I have not yet finished) that I just spent too much time on -- I didn't dislike them enough to DNF, but I wasn't that excited to pick them up either. And then I ended up not having time to dig into The Winners, which would have given me a #bookspinbingo! Darn.

My #January #ISpyBingo. I love these bingos! Intend on continuing to try to complete this. No lines yet! @TheAromaofBooks

December #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

My first shot at Bingo and I did really well! I'll do it for 2025 also.

Moving on th 2025!

It probably won't shock anyone to find out that I love reading bingo!!! With #WinterGames coming up, I created 7 bingo boards to try and score some extra points - bingo cards are my favorite score-racking method 😂 If you clear a board, you can restart it!!

Most of these do kind of focus on romance tropes, although there are plenty of not-genre-specific prompts as well. I have seven altogether, so I'll post them all. Feel free to use/share!!

August #BookSpin list

Here is my #BookSpinBingo list for the month of May.

My March #BookSpinBingo

@TheAromaofBooks thanks for doing this each month!

#BingoParty Part 2!! #WinterGames

I've been working on my #OctoberReadingBingo. I got 1 line and 3 spots. #TeamCryptKeepers. My best friend is my dog, lol. And she listens well if I read to her.

@TheAromaofBooks #bookspinbingo

Books have been randomized. I will post my board tomorrow.
Excited to get back, its been too long! 😊

Am I even trying?!🤣

I used a free square on Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Anyway, here's where August ended. Fingers crossed I have more reading time in September but it IS the beer festival season so... maybe not.

So...12 of the 17 books I read this month WEREN'T on my TBR -- so while it should have been easy, no bingos for me. Oops! Still had a productive reading month though (including my #bookspin pick for June).

@thearomaofbooks #bookspinbingo

Bingo Board Design Day is my favorite day of the month! I've got a little #foodandlit #Cuba (my guy is 1st-gen Cuban American so I can't phone it in here!), a bit of YA April, a couple #AAM I've owned far too long, and lots of challenge prompts to check off. Let's do this!

@TheAromaofBooks

No bingos this month. :(

Oh well! On to the next month!

#BookSpinBingo

Really late with my posts & I apologize for the spam catch-up over the next few hours. I just had zero energy or time this week to stay up to date on anything.

No Bingo(s) for February but I still had a great time!

So very close, but no bingos in February -- I ended up reading more books that WEREN'T on my TBR than ones that were! 😀

I knocked off my #doublespin (but not my #bookspin) and had a rare DNF. And unfortunately, I didn't stick to only black authors for Black History Month, but seven isn't too bad, right?

My #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo picks for March! @TheAromaofBooks

Seven Day Itch- #bookspin and A Foreign Affair- #doublespin. And a snow day off of school today! #bookspinbingo

Six bingos this month!

I‘m trying #bookspin again this month. So far so good.

My final #BookSpinBingo card for December. Pleased that I was able to squeeze in the final books before the end of the year.

Final Movie Bingo Cards. A pretty solid Christmas movie viewing year! #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

My #bookspinbingo card so far.

@TheAromaofBooks Sarah, I just want to say THANK YOU! What an amazing thing you have created for the Litsy community. This has turned into something bigger than I'm sure you ever imagined it would, and yet you continue to take on the challenge.

Also, thank you for the giveaway that you offer with this challenge. You inspire readers everyday, so we really should be gifting you!

Above is a recap of my #bookspin and #doublespin reads.

#Scarathon2021 is over. I had a great time and didn‘t realize how much I would like mysteries and crime books! My total for Week 4: 2,805; my grand total is 12,379. See you at the #WinterGames!!!

November #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo list

My final board for October‘s #bookspinbingo 🧡🖤
Glad I did both my #bookspin and #doublespin picks! I‘m a little surprised I only go one bingo out of all the ones I colored in. Sometimes it be like that. Still very happy with all the spooky reading I‘ve done! 🎃🦇👻

Four Bingo's this month so not too bad. #BookSpinBino @TheAromaofBooks

Forgot about this card. Still no bingo here either. 🙄

If I count my 5 DNF books I had 7 Bingo's this month. Without them I had only 1. Despite all the DNF's and Last Chance Books the books I read this month were great! #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

August was a little rough for me. No bingos, and I only got to my #doublespin pick. I plan on reading Devolution soon though since I‘ve heard such great things about it.

I might not have read as much or gotten a bingo, but some of these reads were truly wonderful this month! I think The Silent Companions was my favorite, but that could just be for the creepiness and putting me in such a Halloween mood 🎃👻🧙🏻‍♀️

It‘s currently 4:08 AM, and I‘m lying here in my bed just staring at my bingo card for #bingobookspin. I read four books so far this month, and I‘m debating if I should go ahead and work on my reviews to be able to post tonight/this morning. But I‘ve been distracted for the last 15 minutes just staring at my snail stickers. Too cute to concentrate when I‘m this tired, so I‘m going to bed and will post my reviews tomorrow. Night all 😴

Had an excellent bingo month! #BookSpinBingo @thearomaofbooks

Here‘s my list for #BookSpinBingo for August. I left 3 FREE spaces because who knows what I will agree to read next and I may need a space. Woohoo! Love the #BookSpinBingo !!

No bingos this month. Oh well. @thearomaofbooks

I just missed 2 and already moved them over to June. Really proud of my progress.
