Welcome to Litsy!

July #BookSpin is pretty much going to be a FREE for all. I rolled over unused free spaces from the beginning of the year to July. I‘ll do the same in December. No freebies left behind!! Trying for some #ChristmasInJuly shenanigans as well. I found some holiday kindle books on the recent Stuff Your Kindle Day so those are on my #ReadYourKindle list for July too. 🎄☀️

Here are my July #Roll100 picks. I put in free spaces to allow for my mood reading but this month it‘s giving me anxiety. My brain is so weird sometimes.

July #bookspin list. 📚📖

Well my July #Bookspin list is easy. I really need to dig in on #14Books14Weeks and could really do with catching up on #Roll100

@TheAromaofBooks

Oh I didn‘t know The StoryGraph‘s new monthly wrap up feature did this too. I love it.

July wrap up 🤍

3 of the books I read over months hence the 31 days on average to finish.

More start tomorrow when I am hopefully less sleepy.

Finished #BookspinBingo board for the month. IG is really degrading my original image. I might have to switch to canva or something.

I read 12 books this month, LOVED more than half of them, got a double bingo, bailed on my #bookspin, and really enjoyed my #doublespin. I don‘t know how I‘m going to pick a favorite, though. I gave 5 of these 5 stars and they‘re so different and wonderful in different ways. The best I can do is narrow it down to Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus, Like Mother Like Mother, and Lore Olympus.

#BookSpinBingo #SerialLove2024 #July2024

These are my books for July 2024.

July #BookspinBingo board is ready to go. My #Bookspin is An ARC and my #Doublespin is a Death by TBR pick which is actually going to be all of my books this month if I can help it. Perusing_the_pages is running this challenge over on IG if you are curious or want to join. #DeathByTBRChallenge

I‘m ready but I‘m not ready.

July was my best reading month so far this year. Got carried away and used up my free spaces so book 2 and 3 of the Bill Hodges series became side quests 😂 Also made #BookSpinBingo 2 ways. Onto August!

Had to actually work at work this week so I‘m just getting around to my Wrapup.

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #JulyWrapUp

I got a lot of reading done in July - finishing 18 and carrying over 2, maybe 3. I may bail on Bad Monkey. Dead of Winter remains the favorite, barely edging out Fallen. Iron Gold was a reread and almost as brutal as the first time. The Beatrice Hyde-Clare series binge was mostly fun, but I‘m not sure I‘ll finish it this month. I may need a break. #julywrapup #julystats

Calling it a wrap on July #BookspinBingo
Two bingos and I read my #Bookspin and #Doublespin. Not too shabby.

Here is what I finished or bailed on this month. Very so-so month except for The Border and Yellowface.

I knew Yours Truly would be my favorite of the month halfway though reading it. This couple made me so giddy and happy. It was great.

Haven‘t touched my June Wrapup but I‘ve got my July #BookspinBingo board ready. 🤷🏾‍♀️

#July2023 #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2023

These are my books to read in July 2023.

I put my #JulyTBR together based on NetGalley July releases and #camplitsy2023. As I look at this, I realize that I am not looking forward to most of it. There‘s a really good chance that I say eff it to at least half. 😬
Here‘s hoping the #bookspin gods smile upon me and pick good books from that list. 🤞🏻

How in the heck is it July already?!?! Summer needs to slow down!! This photo challenge looks like fun… can‘t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

It‘s almost July & that means more birthday celebrations 🎉🎂. Here are the wonderful #LitsyLove members celebrating birthdays next month.

Anyone else feel like July is barreling down on us really fast?

#Roll100 @PuddleJumper

I‘m early! I‘ve also strayed from my floral ways and idk how I feel about it. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Honestly I‘m sleep deprived and unsure of everything. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Playing catch-up

A pretty decent reading month. I wasn‘t exactly reading really difficult books, but still it was nice to get back into the swing of things with more than a book or two read. #julyreading #bookly

This was a good weekend for finishing things and bumping up my total items read stats. I read 20 books, novellas, and comics and really enjoyed the vast majority of things I read. My work book club pick was excruciatingly disappointing but more than half of what I read were 4-5 star reads. I‘m happy with that.

Late posting but joining in for #JubilantJuly ☀️ Instead of posting a TBR I‘m going to try to read 10 books. I know that seems like a lot but I have a handful of #ChristmasInJuly picture books and middle grade too that I‘m working through.

I‘m late posting but I‘ve been utterly unmotivated. My #Bookspin is The Spanish Love Deception and my #DounleBookspin is a Library Book which I happened to finish today. So I got a little kickstart. I hope to make a big dent this month as my library hold keep rolling in fast and furious but only time will tell.

Happy Reading Everyone.

Does this count as my July #BFC2022 goals? I think I‘m good for the rest of the month lol jk

Ok but for real:

📚 Get caught up on my 2022 #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin reads & get at least one #BookSpinBingo

👟 Complete weekly Real Appeal challenges (wellness program through my work)

💦 64 oz a day

Another ambitious tbr for July!

Happy July!! This photo challenge looks fun! #julyjam @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

I have time consuming personal projects that will eat into my reading time, so we‘ll see how I do with this #julytbr. I had a June TBR of 15 books. I read 4, bailed on 4, and didn‘t touch the others. This month‘s list has 17 books-work book club, current audiobook, 5 NetGalley ARCs with July and August publication dates, 8 McIlvanney prize longlist/backlist books from the library, 1 random library book, and an audiobook for #readingafrica2022.

July #Bookspin ready and rearin!

@TheAromaofBooks

July‘s #Roll100 selections

Witching Hour has been on the physical TBR for over a year, so I‘m glad this will prompt me to get to it.

Unknown why I stacked Pollan‘s because I was really lukewarm on Omnivore‘s Dilemma.

And the Warhol bio was a freebie on audible, maybe I‘ll make some art while I listen.

Happy Birthday @j.rye !!! We hope you have a great day and you are able to do the things that make you happy! 💕❗️🎶😊📚🎉🌸🎂🎈🎁☀️

My #July goals for #BFC21
@wanderinglynn
Last month didn't posts my goals because I hurt my elbow (tennis elbow) in May. And then I hurt leg. It's still hurting sometimes but I can go walking again. Will started slowly this month. I added swimming on the list because doctor recommend me for the leg.
It is heat wave in Slovenia so will try to drink more water, eat healthy, and read outside before 11am and after 5pm.

Looking forward to this photo challenge!! Also how is it July already! #julyjourneys

I‘m ready!

Mia has to deal with past events as she films a music video. A previous client pays her a visit and new friends help her get back on track. I enjoy the storyline and the message this book try‘s to show of empowering Mia to be strong. I also like that it builds layers from the previous books. This was my #DoubleBookSpin book for the month of April. @TheAromaofBooks

July was a great reading month. I did three readathons so I think I that really helped.

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #JulyWrapUp

My audiobook graph is so pretty. That one huge piece is an actual CD and since I‘m not in my car as much these days they take forever to listen to.

I love when my graphs are full of color. This is the number of pages I read a day. July was such a good reading month.

#JubilantJuly Readathon @Andrew65 These are the books I will like to read this week to finish one row in my bingo. I probably will finish 2 or 3 books but I wanted to have options. 📚🤗
