@AllDeBooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @jenniferw88

The current temp is 59º F, and it has been raining on and off all day. I am weeping in gratitude. In 10 minutes, I plan on revisiting these lovely Naturalisty Solstice cards from last year as I prepare for this year's. I have Kate and Pippa at my feet, hoping for some delicious Canadian snacks from the lovely @mcctrish. 😘

Life is good. Remember this on Nov. 5th. 💙

Spin of Fate | A. A. Vora

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is TWELVE! Our official #DoubleSpin number is ONE!! 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/4kTBMWAsCa9Cvmqs6

Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always ⬇
3w

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!!!

#TLT #ThreeListThursday

Doing better than with the songs or movie challenges, I think.

dabbe Better than 80%! #yourock Thanks for playing and sharing! 🧡🍁🧡 2mo

Faranae \“66 of 211 · 31% You did better than 91% of users on this list\“. I blame the URC since so many of these are books I hate. 😂

Though also, the ALA often doesn\'t make an effort to distinguish between \“challenged from being in the school library\“ and \“challenged as required reading\“. And some of the books really aren\'t suitable for certain grades. A library can\'t have every book, either. 2mo

willaful @Faranae Definitely. I find it hard to find thorough info about banned books -- the extent of the ban, the reason for it, etc. 2mo

And here we gooooo!! Please read the comments posted below and let me know if anything is confusing, if you have questions, whatever you need! Hoping this will give y‘all plenty of time to get those lists together 😊 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook
If you want to be added to my list or removed, shoot me a comment 😊

CBee 1️⃣ This challenge should pair really well with other challenges, especially #bookspin as they both use lists 😃 I'd already made my #bookspin list for February, and you probably have too (if you participate), so here's what I'd suggest: spin numbers are drawn on the 2nd, so when you're making your spin list, you could maybe include #readyourkindle for a few of the entries; ⬇️ (edited) 10mo

CBee alternatively, you could just have a whole separate list for #readyourkindle, et al. Totally up to you and really low-key/customizable. Mix and match your lists however you'd like!
(edited) 10mo

CBee 2️⃣ You do NOT have to read all four books drawn! Maybe aim to read at least two, but as I said, this is low-key and if you don't get to it, it's okay! 10mo

See All 82 Comments

CBee 3️⃣ Make sure to tag me when you post your list and when you read your books, and use whatever hashtag fits your challenge: we have #readyourkindle, #readyourebooks, and #readyournook. (edited) 10mo

CBee 4️⃣ I‘ll try to do a bonus prompt each time (read the book you‘ve had the longest, the shortest, stuff like that) 😊 10mo

CBee 5️⃣ The most important thing: have FUN and bust the Kindle/Nook/E-book backlog! Reach out to me anytime with questions - this is totally new to me as well, so we can all muddle through together. Thanks for participating! 10mo

TheBookHippie This is super easy to do - YAY! 10mo

CBee @AmyG it‘s low-key, friend 😊 You know my crazy self couldn‘t get all complicated with it 😂😂 10mo

CBee @TheBookHippie yay, I‘m glad you think so! Happy to have you along ♥️ 10mo

dabbe #yourock 🖤🩶🖤 10mo

Crazeedi I already have kindle book on my bookspin! But I may make separate list. Is there a date like monthly to post list? Or just one list to keep working on? 10mo

Crazeedi Ok I guess I didn't see you saying you'll post on the 2nd? 10mo

JenReadsAlot Woohoo!! 10mo

CBee @Crazeedi I‘ll post the numbers on the 5th of each month. So it‘ll be February 5, and so on. I didn‘t want to do it on the same day as #bookspin as I thought that might be overwhelming. 10mo

Crazeedi @CBee ok that's great! Thank you!! I'm going to get a list 10mo

CBee @dabbe aw thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 10mo

CBee @Crazeedi you‘ve got time, and remember no pressure ♥️ 10mo

CloakNQuill love this!!! my e-books on my iPad are so neglected. Add please :) (edited) 10mo

CBee @CloakNQuill yay! Will do 😊 (edited) 10mo

CBee @Meshell1313 thank you! 10mo

rubyslippersreads Working on my list! 😁 10mo

CBee @rubyslippersreads yay 😁 10mo

ElizaMarie Oooo this is great! Thanks!!! 10mo

ElizaMarie I‘m just using my list in alphabetical order so I don‘t have to think so hard :) 10mo

CBee @ElizaMarie the less complicated, the better 😃 10mo

kelli7990 I‘m going to have to think about the 20 ebooks I want to read and make a list. I haven‘t decided yet. 10mo

Sapphire Ok. Making my list. I am going to include ones I have started since I have lots in open but don‘t return to. This will help me make several goals! 10mo

monkeygirlsmama I have Kindle lists, Nook lists, iPad lists... I'm going to limit this challenge to my Kindle list and I'll sit down between now and the 5th to pull my list together. I think this should be fun! Thank you so much for putting this challenge together. 😸 10mo

CBee @kelli7990 sure thing! You‘ve got time 😁 10mo

CBee @Sapphire I‘m so glad! 😁 10mo

CBee @monkeygirlsmama that‘s a lotta lists! 😁😂 And you‘re welcome ☺️ 10mo

TheSpineView I'm dreading finding out just how large my backlog is. Hoping this challenge will help me make a dent. 10mo

Read4life Looks great! Getting my list together. Thanks. 💙 10mo

andreadmw Scrolling through my books I‘m equally terrified to pick 20 and so excited to do this. 10mo

OutsmartYourShelf I'm just using the first 10 fiction & first 10 nonfiction books off my list for the 20 books. That way it will be a complete surprise. 10mo

Vansa I would like to join too! By when do I need to post the list of 20, by today? 10mo

CBee @Vansa awesome! I‘ll add you to my tag list. No need to post by today, you have until February 5 - that‘s when I‘ll draw the numbers. 😊 10mo

CBee @TheSpineView I hope so too! 😊 10mo

CBee @andreadmw you can do it 👏🏻👏🏻 10mo

CBee @OutsmartYourShelf sounds like a great plan 😃 10mo

CBee @Read4life 😊😊 10mo

TheAromaofBooks Perfect!!! My Kindle books are already in one big long list, oldest to newest, so I'm just going to do the next 20 each month 😂 10mo

CBee @TheAromaofBooks sounds good! How‘d I know you‘d probably already have a list of those somewhere? 😂 😜 10mo

TheAromaofBooks @CBee - I try not to talk about it, but I may have a PROBLEM with lists 😂 10mo

CBee @TheAromaofBooks I love lists! There are worse problems to have 😁😂 (edited) 10mo

Liz_M @LitsyEvents 10mo

E.Bolhafner I have 344 books on my kindle, 3 are PDFs [one of which I own not in ebook]. I added the PDFs and the oldest 17 books onto my list. 2011 0.o. Hopefully this helps me clear out my kindle. I should try to clear out my iBooks but my oldest one on there is Middlemarch and I don't think I could read Middlemarch and another book in a month. That thing is dense and long. Plus iBooks has 676 books/pdfs and uhhh no. 10mo

CBee @E.Bolhafner wow! I hope this helps you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 10mo

CBee @Liz_M thank you, I was remembering to tag y‘all and then forgot on the most important post 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 10mo

E.Bolhafner @CBee I think there is a lot of overlap. I noticed one of the 20 in kindle is also in iBooks as part of an anthology 🤓 10mo

CBee @E.Bolhafner I‘ve bought duplicates like that before, it happens 😂🤷‍♀️ 10mo

E.Bolhafner @CBee oh jeesh it is worse than that! I will be downloading things from bookfunnel or something in both formats. Stuff your kindle days offers more books via kindle but they also offer ibooks and kobo books and there is overlap. At least I rarely purchased the same item twice!

Most of my ibooks are pdfs from the parenting bundles or vegan bundles so ebooks or shorter things and some knitting patterns. 10mo

Liz_M @CBee I only remember to add the tag if it is an event that i am intrigued by 😆 10mo

CBee @E.Bolhafner oh wow! I‘ve accidentally bought both the print book and the ebook too. But you win, that‘s a lot 😂😂 10mo

CBee @Liz_M care to join us? 😁 10mo

BookwormAHN I so needed this 😸 10mo

CBee @BookwormAHN I‘ll add you 😊 10mo

BookwormAHN Thanks! 10mo

Vansa @CBee excellent, thank you!! 10mo

RaeLovesToRead I am going to do this, BUT I'm gonna treat it casually... basically I want to have 1 book on the go on my Kindle each month and this should be a good way of making sure I don't neglect them! 😄 10mo

RaeLovesToRead I will pick a book from those you've drawn as my "up next" ? 10mo

CBee @RaeLovesToRead yes! It‘s all about casual, I couldn‘t do anything strict! Ain‘t nobody got time for that 😂😂 10mo

RaeLovesToRead Currently doing all the Litsy challenges... badly!!!! 😅😅😅 10mo

CBee @RaeLovesToRead I tried to do a bunch at once and failed spectacularly 😂 10mo

Liz_M I ma not fussed about having a large e-library, even though I mostly just read library loans on my ereader. I have quite a backlog of physical books that I need to read, though! 10mo

CBee @Liz_M I have both 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 10mo

CBee @Suzze here you go - I hope it helps! I‘ll draw the numbers on Friday this week 😊 8mo

Suzze @CBee Thanks! That really helps! 🤣 8mo

CBee @Suzze yay 😀 8mo

CBee @robinb here ya go! I started this in February 😊 April numbers were drawn on the 5th! 8mo

robinb @CBee OK Cydney, not sure where I‘ve been 🙄, but this sounds super easy! Please add me to your master list, and I‘ll plan to start in May. And BTW, my Kindle sends a heartfelt, enthusiastic and maxed out THANK YOU! 😂😂😂 8mo

CBee @robinb it‘s super easy and VERY laid back 😊 I‘ll add you to my tag list! Yay 😁 8mo

robinb @CBee 🤗🤗🤗 8mo

DieAReader I‘d love to join!! Making my list for July now, then to see the picks🤓📚 Thanks for this, my Kobo is seriously out of control with 3,500+ reads🤯🤣 5mo

CBee @DieAReader look forward to seeing your list 😊😊 5mo

Q84 Could you add me as well? I will work on my list for Aug. 4mo

CBee @Q84 yep, I‘ll tag you now! 😄 4mo
