TheAromaofBooks Thank you for the repost!!! 7mo

Allylu Well, I just finished reading my #DS 15 Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. I loved it, loved it, loved it! My #BS 12 is To: Night Owl From: Dogfish which is one of the books I chose to read from the #SummerReadingGuide on Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club. I'm really enjoying being part of that group, too. So nice to have bookish friends. 7mo

willaful I finally got a number that's an actual title! I bought this one on a whim because it looked like the sort of oldie I enjoy. We shall see!

Taking a Spin | Emily Arrow

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is NINE!! Our official #DoubleSpin number is EIGHT!! 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. ⬇ 8mo

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!! ⬇ 8mo

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 ⬇ 8mo

See All 65 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 ⬇ 8mo

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 ⬇
8mo

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! ⬇
8mo

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!!

⬇
8mo

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!!! 8mo

thereadingpal Hello, I've seen this around a lot... Can I join for next month? 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @thereadingpal - Absolutely!! I'll add you to the tag list!! And you're also welcome to play this month, too, if you want - all you need is a list of 20 books, or count off books on your shelf, or whatever works!! Just let me know if you have any questions - either way, I have you on the list for July!! 8mo

thereadingpal @TheAromaofBooks i think I'll join this month as well actually. I made a list of books I want to read the other day (longer than 20 books but eh) and the books that came out with those numbers are pretty short. I'm gonna make a post about it 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @thereadingpal - Perfect!! Feel free to tag me whenever you make a BookSpin-related post!! I also have an end-of-the-year giveaway and all BookSpin & DoubleSpin completions count as entries!! There is a Google Form where you can track your entries if you're interested, which is linked in one of the first comments on this post. 😊 8mo

thereadingpal @TheAromaofBooks idk if i can enter the giveaway because I'm Italian, but I'll participate in the fun! 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @thereadingpal - As long as The Book Depository will ship to your country, then you're eligible!! I just have the winners send me a shortlist of books they wish they owned, and pick one of them and have it shipped to them directly so that way the giveaway can be international as well!! 8mo

thereadingpal @TheAromaofBooks Oh perfect, then! thank you :D 8mo

melmes Perfect! So exited :) 8mo

tokorowilliamwallace I mostly listed out one pick from each of the recent hauls I've made recently (which is a lot) so I can get relatively caught-up in what I buy/acquire and reading moods I should get to already and focus on. Lots of quotes from the book I started yesterday coming. 8mo

VeganCleopatra I just realized I didn't post my list when I thought I had! Is it ok if I still just take the numbers from the list I made or do you want a late list posted? 🤦‍♀️ 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @VeganCleopatra - It's never too late to BookSpin!!! You are definitely welcome to use these numbers. You can post your list if you want to or not if you don't feel like it - no worries!!! 8mo

VeganCleopatra Thanks! I can't believe I forgot to post it. I'll post now just for continuance. 8mo

I finished an actual library book, not an audiobook! Yay! Of course this book was not what I expected. It was heartwarming and sad and happy and it will make you cry. I loved it because it shows how much libraries can be part of your community and be community for you. Everyone should read it! #24 #BookSpin #6 #DS January #BFC22 #HelloSpring #Buzzwordathon #ReadYourShelf #MarvellousMarch #Pantone2022Colour Gossamer Pink #TidyBookshelfDiverse

Finished this one! I read it on my Kindle - it takes me longer to read ebooks, I don‘t know why. Anyway dare I say I liked it better than Little Women? Polly seemed so real to me and someone I would have liked to have as a friend. Very enjoyable. #19 #BookSpin #8 #DS February #BFC22 #ReadMyRoom #ChildrensClassicRead2022 #ReadYourShelf #MGMarchThroughTime #MiddleGradeMarch

This is my #DS for #BookSpinBingo for November. One more book for a Bingo! I read this as my Guatemala book in #ReadtheSpanish-speakingWorld challenge put to me by my daughter. It is a memoir of Claudia‘s childhood, her emigration to the US, and her return to Guatemala told in verse and prose. It was an engaging story and I liked it very much. #138 #BookSpinBingo #DS20 #BFC21 #ReadtheSpanish-speakingWorld #RIFHolidayReadingChallenge #CSRC

Giveaway: A Novel | Steve Fisher

I apologize for tagging everyone in two big posts today, but I‘ve been meaning to get these done before we all get swept into the delights of the holiday season (and #WinterGames!!). As most of you know, if you completed any of your #BookSpin or #DoubleSpin books this year, you are now entered in the giveaway!! And the more you finished – the more entries you have earned! There is a maximum of two entries per month, ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) so if you started in January and read both books throughout the entire year, you can earn 24 entries. At this exact moment in time, 407 of you have entered for a total of 3179 entries!!! I wish I could send a book to each and every one of you, but sadly that just isn‘t in my budget this year. (But I'll keep it in mind for the next time a distant, childless relative I‘ve never met passes away and leaves me her fortune! 😂) ⬇ 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) HOWEVER I am going to give away FIVE books to five different participants!! This will be an international giveaway – if Book Depository ships to your country, you are good to go!! My plan is to draw the names, choose a random book from your Litsy TBR, & have it shipped directly to you. You will also have the option to provide me with your top five books and I will choose one of them to send to you.

SO! Here is what I need YOU to do! ⬇ 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) 1. If your Litsy handle has changed in the last year, could you please let me know? I know there are a few of you, and a couple I even have written down, but it would be great if you could let me know your old username so I can make sure my list is updated!!

2. As you all may recall, you do not have to finish a #BookSpin read in the month it was drawn in order to qualify. In other words, if you know which book was your #BookSpin book ⬇ 1y

See All 82 Comments

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) for May but you haven‘t read it yet, you can STILL read it & get an entry for May! HOWEVER this will only work if you tell me WHICH MONTH your book review is for!! Because there are a maximum of two entries possible per month, if you tag me in five book reviews this month & don‘t let me know that they aren‘t November books, you‘ll only get two November entries instead of all five entries for whatever months they are for. ⬇ 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) 3. Obviously there has to be a deadline, and that deadline is JANUARY 3, 2022!! If you haven‘t posted your reviews by then, I‘m afraid that it‘s too late!! I am hoping to draw the winners on either January 4 or January 5.

4. If I have not COMMENTED on your review, it means I didn‘t see it, so please feel free to tag me again!!

5. If you would like to post a wrap-up post where you just let me know how many/which books you‘ve read this ⬇ 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) year, that is perfectly fine. You are NOT obligated to post individual reviews for each book you read, as long as you read or DNF‘d them and let me know!

6. (& FINAL 😂) As always let me know if you have ANY questions!! I‘m excited to have this little giveaway!! I‘m super excited about this giveaway and about carrying this challenge into the new year. You all are the BEST and I can‘t thank you enough for spinning along with me!!! 1y

Mystery Spinner: Text Classics | Gideon Haigh

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

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!! ⬇

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!! ⬇ 1y

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. ⬇ 1y

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!! ⬇ 1y

See All 55 Comments

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. ⬇ 1y

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. Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, and happy reading!!! 1y
