Hello #LitsyLove members! Here is our March #LitsyLoveBingo board. ☘️ Have fun with it!
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TieDyeDude @Read4life
Two Bingos (so 2 points) for #LitsyLoveBingo for me this month. Reminder to all #LitsyLove members to post all your February totals (or send them to @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ) in the next couple of days! 😀
March bingo card coming soon! ☘️
pickI needed a palette cleanser after my last read so I turned to this sweet little graphic romance. Mari and Hazel are separated in their youth but reunited 50 years later - the art was so lovely but the story moved a little too quickly in places for my taste. Another 10 pages would have really helped with that.
#LitsyLoveBingo Results = 2 Bingos (2 points)
#LitsyLove letters/postcards sent (after I started counting) = 14

A first glimpse of my 2024 Book Bingo Reading Challenge, the blog post with the prompts for normal and hard mode will come soon!
Got really close for an April #bookspinbingo I have square 7 half way done. I did read both my #bookspin and #doublebookspin and a #Roll100
I‘ll count that as a successful month!
Top picture is the year-long book challenge through my library. I have 3 bingos currently, & they will do a drawing for a bookstore gift card in a few days (every 3 mths). The bottom is March #bookspinbingo; I actually finished 1 line this month.
Someone please remind me when I‘m doing next month‘s #BookspinBingo board to not be extra with the background for my individual Bingo squares. I just can‘t resist when it comes to glitter. 🤦🏻♀️
Managed to eke out four #BookspinBingo lines this month. I had one bail and one hibernation. None of these were 5⭐️, but my center square (Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie - review later today) came pretty darn close and was my only 4.75⭐️ this month! Thanks for sending it @BarbaraBB 💜💜
February #BookspinBingo is looking great! I started reading Walking the Americas yesterday, but I haven‘t gotten far. I‘m feeling a bit better with my cold, and I‘m very glad my Covid test came back negative!!
I never know whether to count books I finish on the 1st in that month or the prior one. 🤔 So I guess The Passenger, a surprise hit, squeaks in here. Six bingos and one of my best print months ever! Louise Erdrich was a hit and so was Kent Haruf. Can‘t wait to read more from both! #BookspinBingo
#12BooksOf2022 @Andrew65
My favorite book of June was this graphic novel about two ladies who get a second chance at love.
Honorable mentions to The Kite Runner graphic novel. Very good story, but again, I just can't say that human suffering is my favorite.
Four bingos and quite a few print books read (for me at least)! Really great end to the year. #BookspinBingo
Highlights: Jollof Rice and Other Revolutions, Signal Fires, and Babel
Only one bail: Young Mungo
Ready to go! #BookspinBingo I never end up getting the bingos I initially plan, but I started Three and Certain American States yesterday, and they happen to be together on the same row with my #bookspin. Maybe a point of attack…🤔
I finished 13 print books in November, put one in hibernation, and read my four short stories. Good month despite my end-of-year slowdown! At the end of the month, I was purposefully avoiding getting a bingo. 🤣 #BookspinBingo
Six bingos! I ended up choosing my last few reads to get this board. 👍🏻😁 Overall, a great month! #BookspinBingo
Top books:
Brother, I‘m Dying 5⭐️
Home Fire
This Must Be the Place
Nobody Gets Out Alive
I loved playing #bodycountbingo while doing #Scarathlon2022, and I managed to get two bingo lines too. Thanks to @puddlejumper for hosting!
#TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious
Excited by my November #bookspinbingo choices! There are quite a few really long choices on the list so I probably won‘t get into many but I‘m still excited 😆!
Proof 4 bingo cards. Black lines are new bingos. Orange are last week.
#teammonstermash #scarathlon2022 @StayCurious
Here‘s my card for October! I just finished up Nobody Gets Out Alive from the National Book Award longlist, and it was excellent. Not sure where I‘ll go next… 🤔 Gotta walk Molly before more reading though! #BookspinBingo
Excited for this month! I just finished Best of Friends (LOVED IT), and my #bookspin right next door (Mercury Pictures Presents) so that‘s up next. Have a great weekend y‘all! #BookspinBingo
Four bingos this month! I had a fantastic month for print book reading (finally) and topped out over 5000 pages! 🥳🥳🥳 #BookspinBingo
Invisible Circus by Jennifer Egan was my only 5⭐️ this month. I love that I had time to read seven fantastic short story collections, too. Plus we wrapped up the inaugural #CampLitsy. 🏕 Bring on Fall! 🍁🍂
A day full of tedious data entry & decision updates means a creativity break was in order. I finally made my August #bookspinbingo board. Thanks to #WomenInTranslation month, my theme is loosely "travel" but it's starting to feel more like "Get me out of here, I want to go anywhere & everywhere".?
@TheAromaofBooks
When it rains it pours…my root canal went well today, and my nerve pain is gone. I‘m just a bit sore, so yay!! 🎉🎉
BUT…our freezer stopped working tonight. 👎🏻👎🏻 HOWEVER we have a wonderful neighbor with room in her freezer, 💜💜 AND I was really good at Tetris, and the skills are still there so it all fit! 🎉🎉
Long story short…I finally finished my #bookspinbingo board! 😂😂
#Julywrapup After many months got a bingo!
📚2 books for #AuthorAMonth2022
📚 3 books for #Seriesread2022
📚2 books for #Nonfiction2022
Finished both #bookspin and #doublespin
Good reading month 😊. Best book of July is Where the crawdads sing.
This wasn‘t my best month for print books, but I did manage one #BookspinBingo and finished both my #bookspin and #doublespin, so I‘m pleased. 👍🏻 There were two 5⭐️ books: Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow and Heartbroke!
Waiting on #botm to drop to put out my August list. ⏰
Finally getting my June recap together. I read eight planned books plus my March #doublespin Split-Second Courage, smut thanks to Vi Keeland's Bossman, The Kite Runner graphic novel, and the tagged graphic novel. I am convinced November & December might just be me finally getting to the BookSpin & DoubleSpin books I've neglected.
#bookspinbingo @thearomaofbooks
Excited for this summery board! (I wish there were more hibiscus in Kentucky.)
Very fortuitous that the two #CampLitsy reads are in the same column (middle). Going to try for my first bingo there…I‘m also in the middle of Ghost Lover, which is short stories… 🤔🤔
Idk, I‘ll see where the month takes me! #MoodReader #BookspinBingo
My July #bookspinbingo list! I‘m breaking down some books to feel more accomplished. It motivates me to keep going, lol @TheAromaofBooks
June 📚
#BookspinBingo #Doublespin
@TheAromaofBooks
No bingo, but glad to have some completed books in June.
Based on a spectacular sprint last week and a pretty decent final few days, I managed 4 bingos! I still have three reviews to write, but they‘ll come.
Btw, I‘m loving the DFW snapshots for meeting my IJ reading goals. May do it again next month. 😉🤣
Thank you for running this awesome event every month @TheAromaofBooks !! You are deeply appreciated! 💜
This is a nice sapphic graphic novel. About 2 women who grow together, move apart, and then find each other in later life.
A great series with heart.
pickThis was a May Bonus Borrow from Hoopla and since I tag it often for #BookSpinBingo, I felt obligated to give it a read.
Hazel & Mari meet in a NJ school in the 1960s. This graphic novel takes us through the story of their forbidden love. It's sweet & hopeful, if a bit too short and tidy. A quick read perfectly suited to Pride month.
June book 1 for a free space on my #bookspinbingo board & the #BigJuneReadathon @TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick
So, a couple nights before the June BookSpin numbers were announced, I pulled five books from my list, planning to start one of them early. Two of those five ended up as my #BookSpin (Waterland) and #DoubleSpin (The Book of Speculation). 🎉 This looks like a great #BookSpinBingo board—lots of books I‘m excited to dive into!
My June #BookSpinBingo board!
#BookSpin is Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
#DoubleSpin is Sharks in the Time of Saviors
