Well, there‘s a happy coincidence - I finally (Finally!) got a minute to myself today and made up my #bookspin list, and when I came to post it I found the ever-awesome @TheAromaofBooks had just put up the picks. What a nice collision of procrastinator and forward-planner 😆

Picks in comments in case anyone else is running behind, too.

ravenlee Fierce Fairytales by Nikita Gill is #bookspin and might actually go quickly. 1y

ravenlee The Faraway Nearby is my #doublespin as I continue meandering through Rebecca Solnit‘s backlist. 1y

dabbe Love your handwriting! 🤩🤩🤩 1y

How fun that we get to see these a few hours early this month!!! And I‘m psyched about these spins! The Anne was actually also my May #bookspin 🤫 but clearly this is the perfect time to get back to it since fate has spoken, and she‘s so fun to read in the fall. The other is a nonfiction that‘s been on my radar since college because Messer is the author who first got me into contemporary poetry when one of her books was assigned in an intro class.

TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Windy Poplars always feels especially autumnal, since Anne is teaching school. 1y

SO Saturday is looking crazy-busy, starting with a hike that has a 6am departure time because my dad is crazy 😂 Consequently, I've decided that since it's actually already September 2 for half the world, that's good enough, and I am posting the numbers TONIGHT!!! Surprise!!!

This month's #BookSpin is TWELVE and #DoubleSpin is FOURTEEN!!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo board!! I am NOT tagging anyone in that post!! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are over 200 of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. ⬇ 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong.

As always, the link to the masterpost about how this challenge works can be found on my profile or here - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - and the link to the Google Form where you can track your reads for the end-of-the-year-giveaway can be found here - https://forms.gle/tc6U17AuVw4ssG2v8 ⬇ 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always have time to reply to them all!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and for making this challenge SO much fun!!

I'm going to post the Bingo board, and then come back and start the tag list on this post. Happy reading!!!

Prairiegirl_reading I LOVE this soooo much!! Thank you Sarah so much for all you do with bookspin!! I appreciate how much it helps me keep my reading on track even when my brain says nope!! This is a great way for you to balance your personal life too, which is so much more important than my reading! Have a lovely weekend. 1y

claudiuo Thank you so so much for posting the numbers, I am actually busy tomorrow morning too and I was already having a withdrawal thinking I'll only see the post late in the day. Thank you! Hope you have fun tomorrow. 1y

Spinning Out | R. T. Martin

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is TWELVE!! Our official #DoubleSpin number is FIFTEEN!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone's lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card!!!

My tagging/tracking system has changed this year, so if you didn't get tagged PLEASE let me know so I can add you to the (semi) permanent ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) tag list! I will post “FINISHED“ when I post the last batch of tags so you can tell if you have been missed!!

Below are a few housekeeping items that I would really appreciate if you took a few moments to read. As always, my new masterpost about both #BookSpin & #BookSpinBingo can be found on my blog - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge - & this link is always available in my profile as well. ⬇
2y

TheAromaofBooks 1. Remember, this is a no-pressure challenge!! You can read one or both of these books. You can bail on them. You can bail on the whole challenge and try again next month. Whatever works!! This is supposed to be fun not stressful!! ⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks 2. I do have a giveaway at the end of the year. Every BookSpin or DoubleSpin book completed counts as an entry!! In the past, I have tracked these myself, but for 2022 YOU are in charge of tracking your own entries!! To help with this process, I have created a Google Form that can be found here - https://forms.gle/X57ePKzuHpsqLjE5A - You can use this Form two different ways: You can update it throughout the year OR you can wait and fill in ⬇ 2y

See All 60 Comments

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) all the information at the end of the year. If you want to be entered in the giveaway you MUST use this form. However, if you do NOT want to be entered in the giveaway but still want to use the form for organizational purposes, I have set it up so that the personal info/address blank is OPTIONAL - so you can use the form without submitting your name/address. If you do not care about the giveaway you do NOT have to use this form at all ⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks cont'd) There is more information about how the form works when you click on the link and go to the form because I LOVE overexplaining things!!! You are also ALWAYS welcome to ask me questions!!

4. Even though I don't HAVE to see your reviews I love reading them!! So please feel free to tag me in any and all BookSpin reivews!!

5. For the giveaway, DNFs do count!! The goal for #BookSpin is to get a book off your TBR, so if you decide not to ⬇
2y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) finish it, it's still off the TBR and still counts as a completion in my book!!

6. If you do not finish your #BookSpin/#DoubleSpin book this month it is STILL ELIGIBLE for a giveaway entry as long as you complete it sometime in 2022!! There is space in the form for you both to put down what book you are SUPPOSED to read & then to check off which books you DID read! ⬇
2y

TheAromaofBooks 7. Everyone is welcome to join this challenge!! If you wanted tagged & I missed you, it was completely inadvertent!! Please just let me know that you want to be added to the tag list. You can also let me know if you want to be removed - no hard feelings!! Feel free to jump in & out of this challenge as needed. Also, obviously, getting tagged doesn't mean you HAVE to actually participate!!

⬇
2y

TheAromaofBooks 8 & final (FINALLY) - While I don't have time to reply to all of the comments to this post, I do read every one and love seeing which books got picked for you!! I do respond to any direct questions or confusion, so please feel free to ask away if something doesn't make sense or you need some clarifications. Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, and happy reading!!! 2y

Mooncakes

Soubhiville Yay! Thanks! I‘ll be reading I Can‘t Think Straight (BS) and This Tender Land (DS, courtesy of @AmyG 😁) 2y

Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees

julieclair How fun! Both of mine are Buddy Reads this month. Little Souls for #OverBookedClub and Excellent Women for #PemberLittens. 2y

claudiuo Indeed the moment I‘ve been waiting for! Mine are both actual books on my TBR shelf (shelves, really) Electric Forest and second one I‘ll pick later. Thank you so much! 2y

Bookzombie Thank you so much for doing this challenge. I look forward to the 2nd of each month. 😁 My Bookspin is Tell Me How This Ends Well and my Doublespin is Darkness Peering. 2y

bookandbedandtea Woohoo! The 2nd is my favorite day of the month! Thanks for keeping this going, Sarah. 💜 2y

kellyann28 Thank you Sarah! My bookspin is The Women of Troy and double bookspin is Dreams Lie Beneath! 2y

Kangaj1 Thank you! My bookspin is from Netgalley: Love in the Time of Serial Killers, and my doublespin is Dead Scared by Sharon Bolton. 2y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The Angel's Game and All Systems Red. This is good. Both fulfill challenges. I really like Zafon's writing & wanted to read his books this year, so the longer Angel's Game will be counterbalanced by the much shorter All Systems Red. I can do this! 2y

ChaoticMissAdventures Two books I don't own, so get to head to the library! Genesis Begins Again - Williams and the ever popular

The Sparrow: A Novel

CBee A History of Wild Places and Lessons in Chemistry 😊😊😊 2y

BarbaraJean Sometimes I play this game after I‘ve posted my list, where I pick out which numbers I most/least want to be chosen. Yesterday I decided I wasn‘t that into # 12. 😂🤣 It was a gift from a good friend YEARS ago—like early 2000s—and I put it on the list because of longevity and because it‘s shorter. DoubleSpin is Ancillary Justice, which I REALLY want to read, but have found hard to get into before—might just be a mood thing. I‘ll give both a shot!

Nobody's Girl: A Novel

Maria514626 Thank you! I‘m excited for my first #bookspin this year. (And it whittles down my ARC pile!) My #doublespin is Blood, Sweat and Tea.

Three-Martini Afternoons at the Ritz: The Rebellion of Sylvia Plath & Anne Sexton

willaful I'm reading Ancillary Justice right now, after having tried it before at least twice. I think I may be enough in that I'm past the hurdle, though I do find the flashback sections confusing. 2y

AmyG Enjoy @Soubhiville ….I loved This Tender Land. 2y

BookKenz Hello! I wanted to let you know that I changed my username from @Kenziejo to @BookKenz . I didn't want to miss the tag list. Sorry to be a pain! 🙈 Thanks for hosting this every month! 2y

TheAromaofBooks @BookKenz - Thank you so much for letting me know!! I updated your name on the tag list. No trouble at all, I'm just happy you remembered to tell me!! 😁 2y

melzen Could you take me out from the challenge. I need to take time off reading 📖 2y

TheAromaofBooks @melmes - Absolutely!! Just let me know if you want to join up again. And if you finish any of your BookSpin or DoubleSpin books anytime this year, you're still eligible for the giveaway!! ❤ 2y

Spinning Out | R. T. Martin

Good morning, everyone! Sorry I am running late!!! Life is crazy but I have today off so maybe I can actually catch up on some things?? Fortuitous timing since it meant I could devote myself to #BookSpin 😂

The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is THIRTEEN!! Our official #DoubleSpin number is FIFTEEN!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone's lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card!!!

Just a few quick housekeeping items that I would really appreciate if you would take a moment to read!! I know I'm rambly so sorry!! (for you regulars, these haven't changed since last month haha) ⬇
3y

TheAromaofBooks 1 - Remember, this is a no-pressure challenge!! You can read one or both of these books. You can bail on them. You can bail on the whole challenge and try again next month. Whatever works!! This is supposed to be fun not stressful!! If you can't remember exactly how this challenge works, please check out my master post here https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1989556 or just ask!! ⬇ 3y

TheAromaofBooks 2 - I am planning to have a giveaway at the end of the year. Entries are reviews of #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin 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. ⬇ 3y

See All 58 Comments

TheAromaofBooks 3 - I am tagging everyone who posted a list THIS MONTH (my tag list changes every month!!), 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!! ⬇ 3y

TheAromaofBooks 4 - If you do not finish your #BookSpin/#DoubleSpin book this month it is STILL ELIGIBLE for a giveaway entry as long as you complete it sometime in 2021!! Whenever you review it, just tag me as usual be sure to let me know which month it is for - there is a maximum of 2 entries per month, so if you don't let me know it's for a different month, it may not count. ⬇ 3y

TheAromaofBooks 5 & final - While I don't have time to reply to all of the comments to this post, I do read every one and love seeing which books got picked for you!! I do respond to any direct questions or confusion, so please feel free to ask away if something doesn't make sense or you need some clarifications.

Happy New Year @TheAromaofBooks looking forward to celebrating 2021 with you ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Not my strongest reading month but I had a strong final week
Let‘s go December!!! I‘m ready to wrap up 2020☺️

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 4y

Hooked_on_books While I‘m certainly ready to wrap up 2020, I also agree with something my husband saw on line the other day: “Before I commit to 2021, I‘d like to read the terms and conditions.” 😆 4y

Cinfhen That‘s brilliant @Hooked_on_books and a little scary too😂🥺 4y
