THE LUCKY NUMBER

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our lucky number is TWELVE!! I can't tell you how happy I am to have 117 Littens who posted #BookSpin lists for February!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone's lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews! Just a few quick housekeeping items that I would really appreciate if you would take a moment to read -
⬇
⬇ ⬇

TheAromaofBooks 1. I am hoping to have a giveaway at the end of the year. Entries are reviews of #BookSpin 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. ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 2. Several people expressed interest in reading two books from their list this month. I know that's not for everyone & I don't want anyone to feel pressured to read two books, but the next post will be the #DoubleSpin number. If you want to read a second book, go for it! If you tag me with your #DoubleSpin review, that will also count for an entry for the giveaway. ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 3. I am tagging everyone who posted a list, 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!! ⬇ 4y

ljuliel Although I didn‘t sign up for it , as I‘m a bit too much of a Fly By the Seat of My Pants Reader , congrats on such a great idea ! You sure got a lot of interest in it, which is great ! Anything to keep Litsy active and book centered is wonderful. 4y

Nessavamusic Thank you for organizing this! I was not tagged. Here‘s my book of the month!

Well Met

alisiakae Oh boy, I got a chunkster! 🤣 Thanks for organizing!

The Silkworm (Cormoran Strike, #2)

TheAromaofBooks @ljuliel - thank you!! I had ten people participate last month, so I was happily surprised at how many people were interested this month. It's a low-key challenge, so that helps a lot. 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Lscmcat - It's honestly been so much fun looking at everyone's lists, and I can't wait to read everyone's reviews, too!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @jenniferw88 @Megabooks @4thhouseontheleft - oh my gosh, I'm already excited about reading everyone's reviews!!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Suet624 - Sounds perfect!! I'll be sure to tag you when it's time to get together the list for next month!! I'm trying to do that a week before the number draw, so whenever a week before the 2nd of the month is lol 4y

LeticiaToraci Thanks! I'll be reading .

Foxyfictionista Here's my number 12. Thank you for organising!

imyril Woooooow so many of us!!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @LeticiaToraci @Foxyfictionista - I'm starting to think that this may have been a bad idea. Instead of getting books OFF my TBR, I think I'm only going to end up ADDING books while I'm reading everyone's reviews! 😂 4y

TheAromaofBooks @imyril - Right?? I only had ten people participate last month, so I was delightfully surprised to have so many people interested this month! Seeing everyone's lists (and seeing #BookSpin in the trending tags!!!) has been SO fun! 4y

olivia.ferz This is my 12th book from the list. It's been on my shelf for 2 years now and I was hoping it wouldn't get picked.🙈 But that's the point of this challenge so I'm gonna finish this book by this month at all costs!

claudiuo I was looking forward to today to find out the number. I wanted to read this book for so long but others got in the way. Now is the time. Thank you so much for organizing this!

TheAromaofBooks @Crazeedi - Sorry I missed you on the tag list somehow!! You are on my physical list. I may have just typed your name wrong 😬 Can't wait to read your review, though!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @michellelav - I have a similar problem... spent most of yesterday painting a new bookshelf to try to help with the stacks!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @olivia.ferz - haha good luck!! I know about those lingering books! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @claudiuo - isn't it funny how we pick up books we really want to read and then don't actually read them?? Hope you enjoy your pick!! 4y

michellelav @TheAromaofBooks How did you paint your bookshelf! You should post a picture I love seeing peoples book shelves 😍 I need to find the space for another shelf 😅 4y

robinb Thanks so much for coming up with such a fun idea and getting us organized! 💕 I don‘t think I‘ll have time this month for #doublespin but would love to participate in the future.

cathysaid This sounds like fun! I‘m going to get a list together for March if it‘s not too late. Also, this looks like it‘s really taken off so if you need assistance just let us know! #bookspin 4y

TheAromaofBooks @cathysaid - thank you!! I'm good for now, but if the exponential growth continues, I will let you know!! 😆 And absolutely not too late for March - I don't draw until the 2nd. Hopefully posting a reminder/info post today or tomorrow; I like to give everyone a shout-out a week before the spin!! 4y

cathysaid @TheAromaofBooks Great! Made my list and since we have a week left in February I had my husband pick a number for a book I can hopefully get read this week. This will be so good for me. I‘ve been an avid reader and lover of books all my life but this year my ability to concentrate has been terrible. (I‘m blaming age 🤪) Hopefully this is the kick in the pants I need. So thank you! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @cathysaid - also, I just posted the info for this month's spin but forgot to tag you LOL but feel free to check it out! It's pretty fun to let the fates choose your books sometimes! 4y
