Spinning Around

Well , due to travelling sightseeing , day trips etc I didn‘t read as much as I wanted to in July and didn‘t complete either #camplitsy or #bookspinbingo 😖 blue sisters hand down was my favourite 🤩 fabulous read of July with throne of glass & prophet song close seconds.Biggest disappointment was Tom lake 😟and the book binder of Jericho (different title here in the uk) was just too fluffy & slow for me . Happy reading challenge for august folks

TheAromaofBooks You'll be pleased to hear that I made it to the library and returned all my books, so I was graciously granted a fresh start 😂 Which is good because of course I brought more books home with me!! 12mo

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is NINE! Our official #DoubleSpin number is SEVENTEEN!! 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. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

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

better reading month in August, still woefully behind some, listened to a great podcast-Reading through life with Sarah & Mia about how to read more,they average 10-15 books a month. fourth wing,Hellbent, miss bensons beetle joint-favourites 🤩 followed by The mission house , foster, from blood & ash, In a summer season. #bookspinbingo does help my reading lists & TBR‘s. I‘m away next week & end of September so my aim is to read 10 in September🤞

Complimentary spin titles.

#Bookspin is Historical Fiction with a dash of Mystery; #Doublespin is a Young Adult Fiction, modern retelling of "Sense and Sensibility" with a sprinkle of Mystery... and a dash of nutmeg ?

Late to the party, but always delighted to be here 😁😊🥳

Many #TBRtarot titles that I DO genuinely want to get to (and am excited about!) as well as plenty of #Roll100 choices.

Not entirely certain how this will work out with so many of my books on the floor in a very haphazard, loose genre arrangement, but I'll figure it out! 😉

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is TWELVE! Our official #DoubleSpin number is NINE!! 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. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

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

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) 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

Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always ⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) 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!!! 2y

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is SEVENTEEN! Our official #DoubleSpin number is SEVEN!! 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. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) 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. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong.
⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks cont‘d) As of now, I am CLOSING the Google form for 2022!!! The link below is the BRAND NEW 2023 FORM (that literally looks exactly like the 2022 form LOL). 207 of you submitted 2022 entries!! I‘ll be sorting through them this week and hopefully will post the winners by the weekend!!

Below are a few housekeeping items that I post every month. Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy reading!! ⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks (Cont'd) 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. ⬇

See All 80 Comments

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/tc6U17AuVw4ssG2v8 - You can use this Form two different ways: You can update it throughout the year OR you can wait and fill in ⬇ 2y

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 2023!! 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

BookNAround I‘m laughing about my picks since I filled my board with all sorts of choices and just a few books that have been on my list for two or three years now. Both my bookspin and double bookspin options have been on my list for literally years (and in fact my bookspin was chosen as a bookspin book one month a couple of years ago—maybe this time I‘ll actually read it!). 2y

TheAromaofBooks @BookNAround - The BookSpin Fates are coming for you! 😂 2y

CSeydel 🎉happy new year! My bookspin is Quackery by Lydia Kang and my doublespin is From Here to Eternity by Caitlyn Doughty. Woot! (edited) 2y

Although my #BookSpin choice will not make for a joyful selection given the subject matter, it is still something I feel compelled to read. I just hope I'm emotionally strong enough to do so.

The #DoubleSpin selection is one that just seems to follow me from one month of bingo boards to the next so let's see if this will finally be its lucky month.

@TheAromaofBooks

CBee You can do it - I‘ve just started this one and I know my heart is going to be ripped out 💔

August is so far better than both June and July. Going to knock out some better-late-than-never bookspin picks and some long-lingering TBRs.

I had a rough draft of my August #BookSpin list before I went on my trip, so with minor tweaking here it is! I even managed to ignore Litsy this morning long enough to draft the order without peeking at the picks. Turns out my #BookSpin this month is King Lear (also a #Roll100 pick for the month) and #DoubleSpin is The Tower of Nero to finish The Trials of Apollo. I‘ll draft my #BookSpinBingo board later when I‘m at home. Thanks Sarah!

Masquerade

Chelsea.Poole Thank you!! Both my books are ocean-themed 🌊 2y

tokorowilliamwallace I have mostly categories for my list, so I have the freedom of mood reading; and also since each category could be a grouping of TBRs themselves, it could help me make progress. So my category picks this month are to read a book I plan on donating back to a little free street library after finishing, one of my picks from an earlier Ollie's haul. So it's a matter of deciding or coming into a mood for something that qualifies. Pessl/Choi? 2y

Bookbuyingaddict @TheAromaofBooks thanks so much for doing this 🙂Iv edited my list because I have tons of library 📚 books to get through 😂so my no.3 is the fell by sarah moss and no.14 is cloud street by Tim winton - happy 😃 reading 📖 2y

Maria514626 Thanks for the spins! 3 is a stinker of an audio #arc that I‘ve been dragging my feet on. This is the kick I need to finish it — including for the #augustarcreadathon. @Clwojick 2y

📖🔄 The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams - this was an impulse library checkout last week.
🔄🔄 Midnight Magic by Avi - this has been on my TBR shelf since 2014. It‘s a library discard that I bought at a library book sale while on my honeymoon!

I still have to set up my #BookSpinBingo board, but I‘m looking forward to these!

BookSpinBingo is an expansion on that challenge for people who want to read more than 2 books from their list each month - I also post a bingo board with the numbers all shuffled around. You create your bingo board by matching the numbers with the books on your list, and score bingos by reading them!! Like I said, more details on the blog post, but anyone ⬇ 3y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) can join, so just let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to be added to the tag list. I'll draw March's numbers tomorrow (Wednesday) so there is still time to make a list for this month!! 3y

2021 #bookspin recap! @TheAromaofBooks

Finished 22 books + DNF 1 book for a total of 23 #bookspin + #doublespin titles completed! 🎉

The only book I didn‘t get to was my May #doublespin Clap When You Land. May was my worst reading month so that tracks. I hoped to get to it later in the year but the timing never felt right for that one. Planning to work it into my 2022 reads!

Bookspin has motivated me to try other challenges in 2022!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!!! 3y

I‘ve read my December #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks
Thanks for hosting such a fabulous year of reading fun💗🙌🏻🥳

Cinfhen When should I post my January list?? 3y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! You can post your January list any time you like. I'm going to have an official sign-up post right after Christmas, which is when people will let me know if they want to be tagged for 2022. After that, I'll only be changing the tag list if people request to be added or removed, so that should simplify a lot. I'm so excited about just being able to enjoy everyone's posts without trying to track them!!! 3y

Cinfhen Amen to that @TheAromaofBooks !!!!! It‘s like you had another full time job 😄💕😘 3y
