Here's my emergency #Bookspin list for May.
Couldn't come up with anything better. Been battling with a bad phase of depression for the last weeks. Got new meds some days ago, spent yesterday night at the ER (because of an allergic reaction or 'cause they are too strong...).
Now at my doctor's.
I yearn for things to get better and my life to get back on track...

I already bailed on my #bookspin for December and the #doublespin is an ARC published by St. Martins, which is under boycott for failing to address rascist comments from an employee of Wednesday Books, one of their imprints. I may still read it this month, but I won‘t be posting it. (Also, I am seriously bummed by St Martins silence as they and Minotaur publish some of my favorite books and authors.)

Woohoo! It‘s the 2nd!!! I‘m always so excited when our monthly numbers are chosen! I already started this month‘s #bookspin which is the December #naturalitsy buddy read, and I‘m loving it sooo much! My #doublespin is one of my final #roll100 spins. It‘s been on my shelf for years, and even though I know everyone loves it something always keeps me from reaching for it. Will this double incentive be enough??? @TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! I really enjoyed Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. It actually did change the way I approach some of my cooking - I'm due for a reread, though! 13mo

IndoorDame @TheAromaofBooks as soon as I saw those regional flavor charts I bought a digital copy so I could use them as a reference when I cook in the future. It‘s super cheap on kindle right now 13mo

AmyG I love when these books are chosen, too! Doesn‘t take much to get us excited, huh? 🤣 (edited) 13mo

IndoorDame @AmyG they say you‘re supposed to enjoy the small stuff, right? 😂 13mo

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is FIFTEEN! Our official #DoubleSpin number is EIGHTEEN!! 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) 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!!!

DGRachel I have to laugh. I actually started the book spin choice yesterday, hated it, bailed, and returned it to the library. My double spin is one I can‘t review or promo until the boycott on St Martins Press ends, because it‘s a NetGalley digital arc of one of their books. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 13mo

Whew, Litsy was down for a hot minute and all I could think about was how everyone NEEDS TO KNOW THE NUMBERS! 😂 But it's back up and running, so here are February's picks without further delay!! Our #BookSpin this month is TEN and our #DoubleSpin is TWENTY!!

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. ⬇

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

MatchlessMarie My first thought was oh no BookSpin finally broke Litsy 😂 2y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) username wrong. Below are a few housekeeping items that I post every month (including the link to the 2023 Google Form for tracking your reads for the giveaway!!). Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy reading!! ⬇ 2y

See All 63 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!!

IamIamIam Haha, thanks for working through the stress, Sarah!!! My spins this month are Published in the 1990s & Fiction: Male Author. I'll have to check the piles when I get home today!!! 2y

claudiuo Woohoo! Just what I was waiting for. Thank you so much! 2y

Singout I think this is the third time “Seven” has come up! This month I can do it! 2y

Read-y_Picker Thank you Sarah! Imagining today as movie Groundhog's Day where we get to start off with fresh bookspin numbers day after day... sigh. 2y

TheAromaofBooks @mrsmarch - Here it is!! https://forms.gle/tc6U17AuVw4ssG2v8 2y

ChasingOm It‘s so funny that the spin and double spin keep being 10 apart. It means my spin and double spin are the same again this month. 😂 2y

BarbaraJean Hahahaaa… I would be lost without my BookSpin numbers first thing on the 2nd of the month!! My #BookSpin is the first half of my next book for #ChunksterChallenge2023 (The Agony and the Ecstasy, which has been on my shelf since the early 2000s), and #DoubleSpin is Thursday Murder Club, an #AuldLangSpine pick. Excited about both spins! (But who knows when Thursday Murder will come in from the library… I‘m like 200th on the list 😂) 2y

kellyann28 Yay my #bookspin is We Deserve Monuments and #doublespin is The Wrong Kind of Weird! 2y

julieclair I will be reading The Time Traveller‘s Guide to Regency Britain and The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels. 😀 2y

julieclair @Deblovestoread I like your idea of a “category” instead of a specific book. I may give that a try next month. 2y

ChelseaM6010 Woohoo! Looks like my bookspin will be another #RoryGilmoreReadingChallenge book! And my doublespin is The Sanatorium!! 🥳 2y

Clwojick Woohoo! 💖 2y

TheAromaofBooks @julieclair - I really enjoyed the Wisteria Society. It's absolutely ridiculous, but somehow it works! 2y

MeganAnn 🎉 10. The Hurricane, the #littensloveromance read for February so that‘s perfect. 20. Is my “Books from Mom” category which gives me a little flexibility as she‘s given me quite a variety. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Yay! My authors to read this month are Margo Lanagan and A. R. Capetta! 2y

Larkken Hah! My BS this month may be a DNF - easy-peasy! 😅 2y

Librarybelle I have Madly, Deeply and a #Booked2023 selection! 2y

Littlewolf1 I think I feel off your list… I was not tagged 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Littlewolf1 - Sorry about that!! I have you on my list, but sometimes Litsy gets wonky about tags!! 2y

staci.reads Tagged is Bookspin, and Doublespin is The Art of Gathering

The Overstory: A Novel

I‘m super excited that these 2 titles came up! My #BookSpin, The Secret Lives of Color, is a really interesting nonfiction that I started in the spring but put back on the shelf for some reason, and decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to finish it before the new year. And my #DoubleSpin, The Heiress, is one of our #Pemberlittens #chapteraday #buddyreads that I‘m really enjoying!

robinb My two are Murder at Crossways and Whistling in the Dark. Thanks! 😊 2y

Singout My spin would have been Gods of Jade and Shadow, but I‘m switching that on #ReadingtheAmericas2023 list for The Daughter of Dr. Moreau by the same author, so I can include it in #Booked2023. It‘s not available, so I‘ll be reading my double spin, Under the Undala Trees, which I‘ve been putting off for a long time. (edited) 2y

I'm a bit early this month with my December #bookspin list.
I'll be off on a cruise so I thought I'd get it up before I forget.
But it may change once I decide which books to take on the cruise.
There's some holiday cheer and more categories for the end of the year.

Super excited about this month‘s spins! My #bookspin is Pumpkin Heads which I reread every fall, and I had to sub my #doublespin cause one of last month‘s books that was due back at the library ended up on the list by accident so I picked the last one I added this month which is an audiobook of Sleepy Hollow. @TheAromaofBooks

Lcsmcat My bookspin is The Beet Queen; doublespin is In the Darkroom. Thanks for continuing to do this! 2y

Soubhiville Thanks Sarah! I‘ll be reading Far From the Tree and Only Killers and Thieves. 📚❤️😊 (edited) 2y

vlwelser I got Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line and Obit. They're library books so I was on a timer anyway. 2y

sprainedbrain Hahaha tagging a lot of people is not easy!! Good idea. 😂 2y

claudiuo Thank you so much! My BookSpin is The Shadow of the Wind and DoubleSpin is God Bless You, Mr Rosewater which came up before and I still haven‘t read it yet. 2y

Megabooks Apparently I am not smart and can‘t find the bingo board…has it not been posted yet? I am on your page. Glad you‘re saving time because I REALLY appreciate that you take time to do this each month!!!! It is such a fun challenge!!! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Could you tag me in the bingo board post? I have a few tags blocked for one of the fall challenges (and apparently it‘s insufficient because I am STILL seeing stuff about the things people are WATCHING for it… argh…) so it doesn‘t show up for me, even on your page, unless you tag me. @Megabooks Maybe that‘s your problem as well? 2y

Allylu Mine are The Thursday Murder Club by Osman and A Wedding in Haiti by Alvarez. 2y

Megabooks @Clare-Dragonfly thanks for tip! Once I unmuted scarathalon, I could see it. I‘ll just remute it now that I have the board. 2y

Kristin_Reads The bookiverse must really want me to read this because it was my pick last month too but I wasn‘t able to get to it. I‘m looking forward to it!

Island of Missing Trees

2y

TheAromaofBooks @Megabooks @Clare-Dragonfly - I didn't think about people having tags blocked for the October challenge (which I totally understand doing if you aren't actually interested in the event haha) I would never have puzzled out why you couldn't see the post, so I'm glad you figured it out!!! 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly - I tagged you, so let me know if you still can't see it!! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Thank you!!! I can see it now! 2y

sebrittainclark Bookspin: The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2022
Doublebookspin: Kiss Her Once for Me 2y

FelinesAndFelonies Great idea. 2y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Sweet! I'll be reading a New-To-Me Literary Magazine (now I have to pick one of the many out there) and Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake. 2y

robinb Thanks Sarah. 😊 Joy for Beginners is #BookSpin. It‘s from an author I‘ve been meaning to get back to and I just figured out I was having a “senior” moment when I put Birds of a Feather on my list as I‘ve already read it. 😂 Ugh!! I‘m subbing in the next in series (Pardonable Lies) instead. (edited) 2y

BarbaraJean BookSpin is tagged and DoubleSpin is Embassytown by China Mieville—two challenge reads for me! @Megabooks @Clare-Dragonfly Thanks for the heads up about not being able to see the bingo post—I had the same problem since I have the same tag muted! I‘m on my phone so it‘s a pain to go unmute, but I found it by clicking on the #BookSpinBingo tag and scrolling down. 🎉

Smilla's Sense of Snow: A Novel

(edited) 2y

TheSpineView Awesome! I will be reading The Blood Card and Pandora. 🤞 2y

Deblovestoread BookSpin is Northanger Abbey and DoubleSpin is

Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty

2y

Singout A Long Way Gone: my #ReadingAfrica #SierraLeone book about a boy soldier. (I just finished a book about a boy soldier in Uganda: tough reading!) 2y

Librarybelle Yay! Mine is The Guest List and The Night She Disappeared 2y

Gissy Number 9, Yes, my birthday day this month 🥳 2y

Suet624 💕💕💕 2y

MrsK 9 & 10…yay💞 2y

TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraJean - Apparently I picked the wrong month to skip on the tagging thing! 😂 I'm glad everyone is finding the post nonetheless!!! 2y

BarbaraJean Haha… like you said, we are smart! We are finding the post! You‘re just making us do our part. 😆 2y

i.besteph Hi. Can you remove me from the tag list? Thanks :) 2y

TheAromaofBooks @I.besteph - Absolutely!! If you decide you want to play along again later, just let me know!! 2y

i.besteph @TheAromaofBooks Great! I will 2y

Happy #bookspinbingo day, everyone! 🤩

#bookspin is The Gentleman‘s Guide to Vice & Virtue

#doublespin is All the Light We Cannot See- I‘ve been trying to read this since July‘s #foodandlit buddy read and it was my bookspin in August. The universe really wants me to finish this book already 🤣

Thanks so much, @TheAromaofBooks !
