#AugustRush #20in4

Whew! Just finished my #TitlesAndTunes #August pick for #TheWorldIsMyOyster & really enjoyed in—although it certainly made my claustrophobia spike with the author‘s descriptions of the dangerous places she explored as a cave diver. I alternated between the e-book & audiobook & especially enjoyed hearing the author reading her own words. There were a couple of draggy parts but overall this was an interesting & engaging read.👍👍

Cinfhen Fantastic!! I have the audio so glad to hear it‘s a pick 🩵 1y
BarbaraBB Cave diving… I am so fascinated by it because it seems one of the most scary things to do! 1y
Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 (edited) 1y

JamieArc I really liked this one too. It was one of my favorites of 2022. 1y

I didn‘t manage to read the four books I planned on reading during #20in4 but I did read four books. I‘ll call that a win! Thanks for hosting @Andrew65

I‘m hoping to finish strong for #AugustRush as well!

#AugustRush Day 7

A very stormy day today which luckily didn‘t result in any damage and only a quick power outage.

📚Listened to an hour or so of The Jaguar Smile #AuthorAMonth #ReadingTheAmericas2023
📚Read about 30 pages of High by Erica Fatland
📚Read my chapters for #PemberLittens HashtagBrigade

Very distracted today by work and weather and tired after my Kitty decided to wake me up at 3:45. I did manage to finally set up my BookspinBingo.

Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 Hope the weather is better for you tomorrow. 1y

On day two of #AugustRush I got in plenty of reading time. I had a few hours in the morning while the family slept and then a few more hours by the lake. This is what vacation should be like, not all the rushing around we have been doing!
📚Kept up with Vanity Fair for #pemberlittens
📚Finished The Secret Place for last month‘s #BacklistReadathon
📚At 68% in By Book or By Crook for my work book club
Today might not be as productive as I overslept

Andrew65 Sounds an excellent day 👏👏👏 1y

I‘m combining my lists for #BookspinBingo and #AugustRush next month. Fingers crossed I can get through all these before sports start in the evenings for the kids. Some of these are titles and some are challenges.

Bookwormjillk @CatLass007 Daisy is the tabby and Oliver is the tuxedo. This was a few years ago- came up in my memories today 1y
CatLass007 Awww. Daisy looks like she was still a kitten then. 1y
dabbe Hello, Darling Daisy and Outstanding Oliver! 🖤🐾🐾🖤 1y
Bookwormjillk @CatLass007 they both were- born about 2 weeks apart. They wouldn‘t both fit now 🤣 1y
CatLass007 When Mom was alive Molly, Tiberius, and Anjali all sat on her lap at the same time. Benjamin has always been too mellow to make himself fit, so he‘s my cuddle bug. Even in the 90+ heat. 1y

Well, friends, it's that time of month again - the time of month when you realize life is racing by at a terrifying pace! 😂 August is less than a week away, so it's time to think about your #BookSpin/#BookSpinBingo lists if you haven't already!! I know some of you have already posted, so when you get this tag, you can just take a moment to bask in that feeling of being ahead of the curve! 😆
⬇⬇ ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) July has been a weirdly emotional month here, and I actually haven't gotten a lot of reading in. Hoping that will change for August, but since orchard season is starting, I doubt that reading time is going to increase much LOL

Can't wait to see everyone's lists!! I'll be back on the 2nd with August's numbers and bingo board. As always, if you have questions about the challenge, or need the link to the giveaway form ⬇ ⬇ ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) it can all be found here - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/

Happy reading, everyone!!! ❤ ❤ ❤

BarbaraJean I can‘t believe it, but I‘ve actually finished ALL my BookSpin/DoubleSpin books so far this year. Now I‘ll have jinxed it by saying that…😆 I‘ll have to put the finishing touches on my August list and hope I can continue my reading streak! 1y
Bookwormjillk I think I have my list almost ready, but need to let it marinate a bit. I'll be combining #BookSpinBINGO and the #AugustRush readathin from @andrew65

Will August be the month when I finally meet my goals? It's got to happen some time!

wisherwishinguponastar @BarbaraJean That‘s awesome! You got this! 1y
AkashaVampie 🤓📚 I just finished my 39th book of the year. If this was any other year, I'd be only somewhere between 7 and 14 books read. #BookSpin has really helped me and of course audiobooks. 1y
TheSpineView Hoping August is a great reading month! 💙📖💙📚💙 1y
BookishMadHatter So crazy how some days it feels like 3 days in one but then all of a sudden we're facing the end of another month. 1y
willaful Honestly, after the five years of 2020, I appreciate time speeding up again. 1y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Jeez Louise! I can't believe it's almost August! I didn't read a lot from my list for July, so I can make it easy on myself and just reuse the list and replace the few I've read. I probably won't make the graphic and post until the night before you pull numbers, but I'm glad it's mostly sorted out in my head. 🤣 1y
PuddleJumper I have not read anything this month! Might skip August since I don't think that will be any better 1y
Librarybelle Hooray!! 1y
Grrlbrarian I‘m in - but not ahead of the curve 😂 1y
Bookgoil I need to work on this 😅 1y
bnp Well, I haven't touched one, but I hope to finish the other by Monday. Well see what August brings. 1y
DieAReader So ready for this!!! 1y
claudiuo Been heads down in work for a bit and when I come for air it's almost August: unbelievable! I'll work on my list soon. 1y

#accountabilitypost. This is me attempting to read at least 10 of these titles in one month before I go back to work. 😅All of these are pretty short—200-350 pages. Can I do it? Probably not. But I‘m certainly going to try. Tell me what to read next! I‘m halfway through Blink by Malcolm Gladwell now. #augustrush #readingchallenge 📚📚✅🏁
