readyourkobo

Oh my gosh, there is only one week of June left!!! Which means we are only a week away from being HALF WAY THROUGH 2025!!! I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that years begin with “20“ so we can all see how well I'm doing with the passage of time 😂 Anyway, I hope everyone is having a lovely summer so far (or a cozy winter, depending on where you are!). We are in the midst of an intense heat wave, unusual for this early in the ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) season, and I am working on not being a whiner 😆 My husband has been working on building bookshelves for the new library!!! And I am hoping to spend some time getting the nonfiction section sorted out today!!! I'm SO excited!!

Anyway, if you're planning to spin along with me in July, it's time to start thinking about your lists!! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone is reading (or avoiding 😂)

Also, just a reminder about the⬇ 3d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) end-of-the-year giveaway!! Remember that every spin completed (either finished or removed from your TBR as a gave-it-a-try-bail) counts as an entry for the giveaway IF you complete the giveaway form!! You can fill it out as you go throughout the year OR track your spins some other way and enter them all at once at the end of the year. I give 5 random people a book from their TBR, open internationally. The spins can be completed ANY time ⬇ 3d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) in 2025 (if you finish February's book in May, that counts!) Link to the form - which of course has way more explanations because I LOVE over-explaining things!! - https://forms.gle/2TgEz5N3NLq3GyV56 And also the link on my blog that explains the overall challenge in even more excruciating detail!! 😁 https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/

Thanks for spinning with me - can't wait to see the lists!! 3d

Bookwormjillk Gah! I need to get started on my bookspin stat! 3d

DieAReader I‘ve decided not to follow any more lists this year. I‘m too 🐿️🧠. I‘m just considering all my physical books to be #BookSpin books & all my digital are #ReadYourKobo books. 3d

LeeRHarry Next up is my bookspin book - thank goodness is a short one!

My Phantoms

3d

Librarybelle It is hard to believe it is nearly July! Must think of my list! 3d

DGRachel It‘s crazy to me how fast time goes while also feeling like it‘s not moving at all, depending on the day. As I anticipated, I‘ve read little from my June list and we‘ll see how well I anticipate my July moods when I put together that list this week. 🙃 3d

PuddleJumper Nope. Nope. It is not July or summer, it's February! 🤪 3d

CSeydel @DGRachel same! 3d

Lcsmcat The days are slow, but the years are fast! Can‘t believe it‘s almost July. 3d

AnnCrystal New Bookshelves 📚👏🏼🥳👍🏼💝💝💝. 3d

AshleyHoss820 HOW IS THIS HAPPENING!? 3d

MemoirsForMe What??? Hope to finish my letter to you before the end of the year! 🤪📝 3d

TheAromaofBooks @MemoirsForMe - Starting to think we should just exchange journals once a year 😂 2d

BookmarkTavern I‘M NOT READY 😂😂 2d

CoffeeK8 Insanity! 2d

Eggs January seems like yesterday… 2d

MemoirsForMe 😂😂😂 2d

julieclair Can‘t wait to see a pic of your new library once it‘s finished. So exciting! 1d

Started this at lunch today, and so far the Prologue is the best bit. I‘ll give it another chapter or two and then decide. #readyourkobo @CBee

The Fallen Stones: Chasing Butterflies, Discovering Mayan Secrets, and Looking for Hope Along the Way | Diana Marcum

pick

I went into this blind, and while it dragged a bit in the middle, by the end I was rooting for Sebastien and the butterflies and totally invested in that world. Too bad it wasn‘t illustrated, but I searched for pictures of some of the butterflies. This is a blue morpho. #readyourkobo @CBee

CBee This sounds really good! 4w

Desha Hi there! Just wondering how #readyourkindle works? I‘m wanting to read more of my kindle for sure!! 😄 Thank you! 3w

CBee @Desha hiya 😊 So it‘s super easy and low key! You post a list of 20 Kindle books (or Nook, Kobo, really any ebook). I draw four numbers on the 3rd of each month and you aim to read at least one of the ones drawn! But, any books you read from your list count as progress. Let me know if you want to join, we‘d be happy to have you 😊♥️ 3w

Desha Thank you @CBee! I would love to join! 👏🏻♥️ 3w

CBee @Desha I‘ll add you to my tag list! You‘re welcome to join for June or wait until July 😊 3w

Desha Hi @CBee! I would be interested in this month…what are the number choices for this month? Thank you for adding me to the tag list!! 👍🏻♥️ 3w
