I had fun tracking my #Bookspin books with this graphic this year. I skipped October because of the hurricane. #Bookspin continues to be my favorite challenge. I always look forward to the drawings on the second of the month. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks !

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Fabulous progress this year!! And I SUPPOSE a horrific natural disaster is an okay excuse for skipping some spins 😂 But seriously, I haven't heard as much news coming up from NC now that the holidays are in full swing - have most people had power/water restored? Last I heard, many of the rural areas were still struggling. 6d
Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks there are still areas without water and power. Still bridges and big chunks of roadways gone. Still folks living in tents. The city of Asheville has water back and it‘s safe to use again, but you‘re correct that the rural areas still need a lot of work. I have heard that FEMA has begun getting housing in for some families though, and many organizations have gotten donations of tiny houses and RVs. But more are needed. 6d
Soubhiville It‘s sad but unsurprising that national media moved on so quickly. As we‘ve seen in so many cases before: Katrina, Flint Michigan, etc. 6d
AmyG People have such short attention spans….and so does the media. 😥 Loved seeing all your books! 6d
TheAromaofBooks Thank you for sharing an update - at least things are still moving forward, however slowly. Hopefully people are able to get the help they need!! So scary. 5d

I really love how Novik describes winter and the cold in this book! It‘s so visceral, I found myself shivering while reading it!

#SundayFunday Happy December everyone and don‘t forget to tag me!

Clare-Dragonfly Haha, I read the graphic, immediately thought of this book, and didn‘t realize it was what you tagged until I saw Novik in your text! 3w

Final #Bookspin list of the year! I‘ll definitely be reading 1 and 7 for bookclubs, we‘ll see what else @TheAromaofBooks chooses from her magic bowl of numbers! ❤️💚📚

AmyG Hamnet is wondeful. So is #8. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. (edited) 3w
Soubhiville @AmyG I‘ve already started The God of the Woods on audio. She‘s a great writer! I loved Bright River. I did have a nice day with a small gathering in my little apartment. 🙂 Food from my favorite veggie restaurant. How was your day? 3w
AmyG How nice! Ours was lovely, quiet. Just us and our 2 daughters. 3w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3w

I DNFed this at 40%. I really tried but it just wasn‘t for me. It felt so relentlessly gloomy to me, which wasn‘t helped by the narrator of the audio. All of her voices sounded like variations on Eeyore.

Susanita I actually loved this book, but I think Eeyore narration would annoy me too! 😄 1mo
AlaMich @Susanita It was a bit hard to tell the characters apart because of it. 1mo

My November #bookspin list. I completely skipped October, for the first time since @TheAromaofBooks started Bookspin!

If you‘re following my Helene saga, this weekend I return to an almost-normal work schedule in a loaned salon space, which feels like such an enormous relief! I am glad that I‘ve had the free time to do some volunteer work, but I miss my routine and sense of stability.

The pets and I are doing well though! 💛🐱🐶💪💋

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I'm glad you are finding some semblance of normality after all the craziness!!! Various groups around here have been hauling supplies down so trying to send what we can when we can. We've vacationed in and around that area so many times; seeing the devastation seems so surreal. 2mo
Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks thank you. It‘s been a life changing experience. I count my blessings daily. 2mo

Since I have a ton of buddy reads and bookclub books in August, I‘m giving a bunch of books multiple numbers and using some short stories. New method for me 🤣. Making it work!
