May #bookspin. Still have some series I'm looking to finish and some "Oh yeah...I saw that on Litsy" reads. @TheAromaofBooks

Zoes_Human I'm so curious. What do you read for “odd“ and “even“? (I love seeing the different ways folks create their lists!) 3y

BookDadGirlDad @Zoes_Human I just pick a book from the listed 1-10 for 11-20. Basically, I pick my top 10 need to read for 1-10. 3y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3y

Zoes_Human @BookDadGirlDad Ahhhh, cool! Thanks! 3y

#BookSpin an interesting nonfiction I‘ve been putting off way too long 🌱
#DoubleSpin a yucky cover art, but hopefully fascinating read I‘ve heard so many positive things about 🥩

TheAromaofBooks

Avanders Oooh I‘m super ready… 😁😜🍁 3y

Chrissyreadit @Avanders 🤪I have things I wanted finished so I could relax and enjoy the fall outside!!! Like a bed for kale, and an area for bulbs, and weeds pulled so I could lay cover sand and bricks for a sitting area 🤣🤪🤣 3y

Avanders Oh I can understand that! 😁😁 And I agree — the summer, beastly though it was, did fly… 🚀🚀🚀 3y

I‘m still in a weird reading mood and a bit of a slump. So my November #bookspin is more of a theme list instead of actual titles. At least I will have plenty to pick from. 😂 Thanks to @Cinfhen for the idea.

@TheAromaofBooks

Cinfhen I HEAR YA!!!! Good luck beating that slump xx 4y

TheAromaofBooks Do what you need to do to get out of that slump!!! 4y

I‘m posting my #bookspin list earlier than usual, but I‘ve been working on it for at least a week. I was able to combine it with books for #scarathlon. One is a reread, but the rest are tbr books. I decided not to fill my list with all Agatha Christie because I want some variety. I‘m not sure how many I will get to because of work but would love to get more than one bingo in October. 21-25 are free spaces #teamslaughter @TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 4y

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo card for August - so excited!

I‘ve coloured in the two other challenges #readingeurope2020 and #netgalleyreviewathon so it looks like the top row is a good option if I want to do some #doubledipping!

I‘ve already started listening to number 18 and reading number 1 (yesterday before the numbers were drawn) but at least they‘re in the same column!

Thanks for all of your hard work with this Sarah! 😘

Here is my TBR list for August!! Super excited to read these books and hoping to stick to my list. It is also the list I will be using #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo A couple of the books may be coming off the list, since I am not using them for any of my challenges, so that will help a bit.

Ok @TheAromaofBooks I‘m back for #BookSpinBingo 😜Here are my 20 and I‘ll use 5 free spaces to complete the Bingo board. I‘m setting the same goal as last month... to complete a bingo using both my #bookSpin & #DoubleSpin prompt. Thanks so much for organizing this challenge. So far in July I read 12 /25 books💜

I‘ve updated and made some changes to my board 7/28 🤓#Maintenance
Sorry, Sarah...changed my board again 🙄 #Indecisive 8/1

squirrelbrain I‘ve read three in a row on your board! The Dutch House, Animals of Lockwood Manor, and All Adults Here. Can I play with your board - wouldn‘t take me long to get a #bookspinbingo! 🤣 4y

Heideschrampf I‘m once again late to the party and keep seeing #bookspin and #doublespin everywhere and don‘t know what it is! Could anyone be so kind and explain, please? 4y

Cinfhen @Heideschrampf check out the post from @TheAromaofBooks she hosts #BookSpin and she can probably explain it a lot better than I can ♥️ 4y

Megabooks Is #bunnyread in August?? 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Heideschrampf - Hello!! I host #BookSpin so you can find some info on my profile, but basically anyone who wants to join makes a list of 20 books they've been meaning to read. Post the list & tag me when you do. On the 2nd of every month, I draw 2 numbers (#BookSpin & #DoubleSpin) & everyone tries to read those numbers from their list sometime during the month. Tag me in your review & you'll be entered for an end-of-the-year-drawing as well!! 4y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks Yes It is! Sunday 30 August! #bunnyread #back2school 4y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB thanks Barbara! There have been a couple of times I‘ve almost pulled it early! 😬 4y

Heideschrampf @Cinfhen @TheAromaofBooks thanks for taking the time to explain! Sounds like a fun challenge, i think i‘ll join in august! 4y

VeganCleopatra @BarbaraBB Can you tell me what #bunnyread is? 4y

BarbaraBB @VeganCleopatra Yes we are Reading Bunny together the last weekend of August. It is a weekend themed #Back2School and we will have other themed posts as well. You are very welcome to join. @Cinfhen and I are hosts. I will tag you in the original post! 💕 🐰 4y

Okay #BookSpin friends, I know we're still a ways away from July 2, but I wanted to let you know what I'm thinking of doing for July's fun - #BookSpinBingo!!! Here's the idea - I'll draw the two regular numbers (as seen at the top of the card). Then I will put those numbers back in the jar and draw out all the numbers, filling in the bingo card as I go. In order to make it a full 25-space bingo card, I added in all the months except May - ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) to fill in those squares, you read one book from your #BookSpin list of that month. (I skipped May because a lot of people read all/almost all of their books for #BookSpinBonanza). If you can't find your list from those months, or you use the same list every month, treat it as a Free space, because we all know I love a lawless challenge! 😂 What do you all think? Does this look doable? I'm tagging everyone (sorry!) so if people want ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) to plan their lists they can, but I'll also post my regular reminder post a week before the 2nd. This is more to get some feedback on whether or not you all like this idea. My thought is this way people can just to the regular BookSpin/DoubleSpin or they can go for as many bingos as they want, or even try for the full card!! Let me know your thoughts, as I still have time to change the rules before July!! 😂 5y

Cinfhen I have an idea that might be simpler / we create a 20/25 place Bingo board/ you pull your usual 2 numbers/ we try to complete a bingo based off of those 2 numbers. So if u pulled 4 and 11 I can choose which books on my board I want to read that will help fill a line / am I making sense?? In my head it seems easy (edited) 5y

Cinfhen I‘m 6/29 @Suet624 5y

rockpools Fun! I quite like the idea of a second chance on my earlier bookspins. 5y

JenReadsAlot I'm game! 5y

TheSpineView That sounds like fun!😊💜📚 5y

mrsmarch I only started in May, and I‘ve reused my board in June (replacing the books I‘ve read with new choices). So whatever the veterans want to do is fine by me! 5y

ravenlee Hmmm, intriguing. I had to read it twice to understand, but that‘s because I‘m sleep-deprived and stressed! I‘ll have to ponder. I like the idea but I‘m not sure I will be able to do it next month. 5y

Librarybelle Sounds like fun! I‘m one of who keeps the same books month to month that were not picked in prior months, so this is an opportunity to get more read (maybe...unless I fall behind yet again! 😂) 5y

LibrarianRyan This sounds fun 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen - so you're saying the board would just be the numbers in order, and then a bingo from there based on the two picked numbers? (Just trying to understand haha) My assumption is people will try to score a bingo from those numbers no matter what, since they are still the numbers that “count“ for the month. 5y

Maria514626 I need to re-do my list based on new ARCs. *Several* What was I thinking requesting all of these? 🤦‍♀️ Like my plate at a holiday dinner. 😂 (edited) 5y

Clwojick I love it! Whenever someone else challenges me to read more books I tend to try harder than when it‘s just a personal challenge 😂 Team spirit and all that! (edited) 5y

AllisonM89 @TheAromaofBooks I think the original idea just sounded more complicated than it is. I think we all need to remember that all the numbers do is dictate which books fill which squares. You can read in whatever order you'd like.. 5y

Bookwormjillk Fun 👏👏👏 5y

Emilymdxn I really want to join in with this! 5y

Cinfhen Yes, but now I understand your concept and it‘s awesome 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen - I may have not explained it very well haha Lots of times ideas make better sense in my head than they do out in the real world! 😂 5y

AsYouWish Sounds fun!!!! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @AllisonM89 - yes, my thought is that everyone can try to get a bingo based on the “official“ numbers, but there should be flexibility as to what order they are read in, or which ones you choose to read, etc. 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Emilymdxn - were you on my tag list before?? I can totally add you if you want to join!! 5y

erinachu Love this! I'm in ❤ 5y

Emilymdxn I wasn‘t on the tag list but I‘d love to be added! 5y

rockpools @Maria514626 This. I‘m always flummoxed when the publishers accept my requests! Especially ones I‘d forgotten I‘d asked for... 5y

llwheeler Fun idea! I may still only read the two "official" picks, depends how busy/tired I'm feeling by then. 5y

bookandbedandtea Ooooh fun! I'm in! 5y

JamieArc I‘m in! I love book bingo cards! 5y

AllisonM89 @TheAromaofBooks and because bookspin is still new to me, when do you want lists posted by? I jumped in late this month 5y

Eggs I‘m in. Sounds fun🤗 5y

Maria514626 @RachelO 😂😂😂 5y

ImperfectCJ I'm not sure I completely get it, but I assume it will make sense as I do it. Either way, I'm in! 5y

Tineke So let me get this straight. Let's say number 4 is the bookspin number, then I can either make a bingo by reading book 20, 7, 17, 14 and 4 or book 5, 10, 18, one from the April-list and ofcourse 4? 5y

candority I‘m in! Thanks for always thinking of new challenges. I love it! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Emilymdxn - Yay!! I have you down!! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @AllisonM89 - Any time before I draw the numbers on the 2nd of the month. I usually post a reminder a week before (so this month it will be around the 25th) so the majority of people post their lists sometime in that week leading up to the drawing. As you may have gathered, the “rules“ are a bit loose 😂 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Tineke - Yes!! That's it exactly!! And if you are feeling particularly ambitious, you can also make a bingo using the DoubleSpin number, or honestly any direction you want. I assume most people will use the “official“ numbers as part of their bingo, because those are the ones that “count“ as the official BookSpin entries for the month, but if anyone wants to make random bingos in other directions, I'm all for it!! 5y

robinb This is why we pay you the big bucks, Sarah! And you need a pay raise, by the way. 🤣🤣 Brilliant! I‘m in, even though I‘ll probably just muddle through with my original #bookspin and #doublespin . 😊👍💕📚 5y

bookishdawg Summer fun! Love it 😍 5y

TheAromaofBooks @robinb - I think if you just go ahead and double my pay, that should be about right!! 😂 5y

robinb @TheAromaofBooks I was thinking AT LEAST triple given the creativity you bring to the table...you are AWESOME, my friend! 😘👏👏👏 5y

SaturnDoo @TheAromaofBooks 🤭you already know I'm in Sarah. You post a bingo card and I can't resist it😍 my guilty pleasure. This looks like lots of fun!!! This is when our bujo spreads come in super handy🙌🙌 5y

Thousand-Lives Sounds fun! Count me in! 🎉 5y

BookmarkTavern I am constantly amazed at how clever you are with making this whole thing fun and engaging! Count me in! 5y

BookNAround I don‘t think I played in Jan. but i can figure out an alternate if I need to and given how little I accomplish, I don‘t expect to, but it sounds like a lot of fun! 5y

Smarkies I am in! I was just thinking of loading my entry for July with some books for Booked2020 so this will give me a way of getting through a bunch of them! This has been a really engaging way for me to get through my TBR this year. Thank you! 🤗 5y

Clare-Dragonfly Sounds like fun! My list so far has been basically my paper TBR, so I would have to put my other planned July reads on the list to have ANY chance at a bingo, haha. Question: I‘ve only really participated for June so far, so for the months could I just treat them as free spaces? And can free spaces be the same books that are on my list? 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Sounds fun! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly - Since I pretty much make up the rules as I go along (lol) any months where you didn't have a list, or can't find your list, or you have no idea why you even put those books ON the list, can definitely be replaced by random books that either are or aren't on your current list. Alternatively, you could make a list of 25 instead of 20 books, and then Jan=21, Feb=22, etc. 5y

SLibrarian5 Fun idea! Count me in. 5y

Clare-Dragonfly I like how you make up the rules as you go along in a way that is beneficial to me 😄 I think I‘ll go with the 25-book list! 5y

Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures Love this idea!!! So much fun! 5y

Allylu Tag me, I‘m in. 5y

tdrosebud This looks like fun. I totally spaced out on bookspin this month and hope to get back into it next month. 5y

marleed This sounds so fun! I‘ve thought about this and I have a plan for the previous month spaces. Rather than pull from my previous months‘ stack, I‘ll let those squares represent a black author. I‘m compelled to read for BLM and some books while not on my physical TBR are on my Must-read-now TBR. 5y

wideeyedreader This sounds like fun! Tag me! 5y

i.besteph Hi @TheAromaofBooks! I‘d love to take part in the book spin except I‘m fairly new here and have no idea how this works. Would you please explain it to me? I‘d appreciate it ☺️ 5y

TheAromaofBooks @AnotherMissBennet - I'd love to have you join!! So in a “regular“ month (if that's a thing haha) anyone who wants to join makes a list of 20 books they've been meaning to read. They post their lists & then on the 2nd of every month I draw out 2 numbers (#BookSpin & #DoubleSpin) & everyone tries to read those books from their lists!! Some months I do something a lil crazy, so for July it's #BookSpinBingo, which I ramble about at length on this ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) post - https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1959936 So if you want to join, just make your list & tag me when you do. Then I'll tag you with the winning numbers on the 2nd!! When you read your books, tag me again - I check off when people read their books & each check is an entry for a giveaway I'm hoping to have at the end of the year!! Hopefully this makes sense, and just let me know if you have any other questions!!! @AnotherMissBennet 5y

i.besteph @TheAromaofBooks Great! Thank you so much. I‘ll work on my list and tag you 🤗🤗 5y

wordslinger42 @TheAromaofBooks I'm going to sit July out! I'm behind with PemberLittens and my Tolkien group and feeling a bit overwhelmed by my reading commitments 😅 5y

DieAReader I may have to re-read the instructions (again 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣) due to some mild processing issues atm, but I am in! As June is my first month participating in both #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin I think I may revise my TBR list to make it more interesting 🤪📚 @Clwojick explained it perfectly! I read more than I do anything else, but I love the challenge & the team spirit! 🥳 5y

DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES would this be of any interest to you🧐 I know you‘re swamped with work & studies...but will there be time for leisure🤨🥰 5y

TheAromaofBooks @wordslinger42 - I totally understand!!! If reading starts to feel like work, it's time to take a break from some things!! I will try to remember to remove you from the tag list for July, but if I forget and tag you, don't take as peer pressure 😂 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Squidget - Well, I did make a second post this morning with some more involved directions because I felt like these could use some clarification 😂 - https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1959936 I need to work on my list, too!!! 5y

DieAReader @TheAromaofBooks awesome I will check it out! Thanks!! I love making lists, especially book lists 🤪🤣 5y

GHABI4ROSES @Squidget I hear about these on our sites, yet still do not grasp them! Let us message about it, cus it could give me a needed push💖 5y

DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES 😉👍🏻 5y

GHABI4ROSES @Squidget maybe I will actually sit a little today🤪 5y

TheAromaofBooks @GHABI4ROSES - You are more than welcome to join this challenge if you want - just let me know if you have any questions!! 5y

GHABI4ROSES Thanks so much for that❣️ 5y

So I did my list a bit differently this month. Since my list is a bit longer this month due to all my challenges and the wait time on some library books, there are two books for some numbers. That way I have a back up if some thing is not available or I have a choice between two books depending on my mood.

#BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

I got all, well almost all, my prompts today for my challenges, so I was able to make my #bookspinbonanza list!! I am so excited about this!!! Unfortunately I am on the waitlist for three of my books, I put three alternates on my list just in case. If by chance one of those numbers comes up first or second, I was planning to just slide the next one up and then as soon as it comes in slide it back in. Hope that is okay.

TheAromaofBooks I think that sounds like a good plan. I have two books that are supposed to be coming via PaperbackSwap so I may have to do a lil sliding around as well! 5y

Just realized that I never posted my #bookspin books for April. Trying the left one first, but so far it‘s just not for me. I‘m 99% sure it came in a giveaway box, so at least I neither bought it not chose it. Will make me feel better if I DNF. On the right is a #dollarstore book, which does actually look interesting. We shall see ...

@TheAromaofBooks

Hooked_on_books I bailed on a book yesterday that I got for free. It really does make a difference in how you feel about bailing, doesn‘t it? 5y

TheAromaofBooks Interesting pair!! I've been way into bailing on books lately! 😅 5y

Bookzombie I don‘t think I posted mine either. Also, I wish I was a little better about bailing. 🙂 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Hooked_on_books For sure. I have been bailing left and right since my quarantine started, too. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheAromaofBooks Nothing like a pandemic to make me realize I can‘t waste time on books that don‘t click for me. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bookzombie Oops—maybe you have by now. 🤪 Bailing isn‘t guilt free for me. But the need to escape into a book is outweighing guilt right now. 5y

My #bookspin & audio #doublespin picks for the month. I guess “lighthearted” isn‘t going to be the theme for April. Do the rainbows make it better?

TheAromaofBooks

Hooked_on_books Nope, not lighthearted at all! But both are really good books. 5y

teainthelibrary Great books, though! 5y

TheAromaofBooks Some heavy material! Good luck!! 5y

Y‘know, this probably falls in the category of better late than never. I‘ve been saying to myself, “I should make a list and do #bookspin this month.” Never did. And then this morning I realized I have (ahem ...) multiple stacks already sitting on top of my book shelf. A few are read, most are not. So ... I am starting numbers at top left. Think I‘ll aim for two books!

@TheAromaofBooks

Nebklvr I feel so much better now. Thank you 5y

Cathythoughts Look at all those beautiful books ✨✨✨✨✨ 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Nebklvr Haha. You‘re welcome. It‘s a little insight into my obsession ... 🤪 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cathythoughts I know! It‘s a lovely bunch! 5y

Nebklvr @BarbaraTheBibliophage My nieces were mocking me the other night due to my book piles but I am NOT alone! Book hoarders unite! 5y

AmyG My people! 😘❤️ 5y

Nebklvr One person, no vote and Mazie book look good. I have been trying to decide if now is the time to read The Stand! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @AmyG 👊🏻🥰 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Nebklvr Tell them no mocking aloud. With libraries closed, we have plenty of selection at home! And yes, Carol Anderson is a terrific writer and excellent historian. We just watched The Outsider on HBO (Stephen King). Been thinking I need one of his books right now! 5y

BookishTrish This photo makes me feel calm 5y

SamAnne Oh yes. In the same boat. 5y

TheAromaofBooks haha better late than never - looks like you have a good selection! 😂 5y

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our lucky number is SIX!! I can't tell you how happy I am to have all of you along for the #bookspin ride!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone's lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!

Just a few quick housekeeping items that I would really appreciate if you would take a moment to read - ⬇

TheAromaofBooks 1. I am hoping to have a giveaway at the end of the year. Entries are reviews of #BookSpin 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. ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks 2. Several people expressed interest in reading two books from their list this month. I know that's not for everyone & I don't want anyone to feel pressured to read two books, but the next post will be the #DoubleSpin number. If you want to read a second book, go for it! If you tag me with your #DoubleSpin review, that will also count for an entry for the giveaway.

FOR APRIL I will also be drawing a #TripleSpin number!! ⬇ (edited) 5y

TheAromaofBooks 3. Unfortunately, I work today & tomorrow. I love it when all of you reply to this post and tell me what books you get to read, but I sadly do not have time to reply to everyone & for that I genuinely apologize as connecting with all of you is one of my favorite parts about this challenge!! I definitely will reply to any questions or concerns, though, and I love reading to see what books you all get to read!! ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks 4 & final - I am tagging everyone who posted a list, 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!! 5y

jb72 @JaclynW it‘s understandable. They are not easy reads at all. 5y

jb72 @JaclynW Also I recently saw that archeologists found 13 verses of The Odyssey. I thought that was cool as it was previously thought it was only verbal and/or written on papyrus. 5y

marleed Yes! Maybe this will be the beginning of my reading all the Nicholas Sparks books on my shelves!

mabell Thanks for doing this! I‘m still working my way through January, but my April book is

Fortunately, the Milk

mrsmarch Is this the month I finally figure out what bookspin is, and how to participate? 🧐 @TheAromaofBooks 5y

TheAromaofBooks @mrsmarch - So basically anyone who wants to makes a list/stack of 20 books they've been meaning to read and numbers them 1-20 (and then tags me). I keep a list of everyone who's participating & on the 2nd of every month I draw 2 numbers (#BookSpin & #DoubleSpin) & throughout the month, people try to read the books from their lists that match those two numbers. They tag me in their reviews & every review is worth an entry for the end-of-the-year ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) giveaway I am hoping to have. May is going to be a lil crazy because while some people are sticking with the regular 1-2 numbers, I'm going to actually draw all 20 & some people are trying to read all 20 of their books in the order they are drawn (or at least see how far we can get!!). However, only the first 2 books are worth giveaway entries. You're very welcome to join no matter how many you want to read - just tag me with your list!! 5y

My #bookspin list for April. I had to work a bit with it since I moved in with my parents for the lockdown, and didn't bring 20 books. So I raided their shelves, and the last five on the list was found there.

Thanks @TheAromaofBooks for doing this again! ❤

Lcsmcat I hope you and your parents stay safe! 5y

TheAromaofBooks Great list!!! Glad to have you along!! 5y

HannaPolkadots @Lcsmcat - thank you!😍 our area in Norway is still little affected, with no one in hospital due to covid 19. Praying that the virus will lose its strength, and that the people working on vaccines and medication are guided to find the right combo quickly. Hope you and all your loved ones are staying safe too! ❤ 5y
