Friends, I don't know how to say this gently so I'm just going to blurt it out - it's almost August!!!! I'm not ready!!!! But it's true, August is ONE WEEK AWAY! Which, of course, means that the #BookSpin numbers will be posted a week from tomorrow!! If you're interested in participating for August, please either comment below or tag me when you post your list (or both!). Remember, I make a new tag list each month, so even if you are reusing an ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) old list, I still need you to let me know that you want to be tagged for August!! Below is just an outline of the basic challenge/reminder of the “rules“ (hint: they're SUPER FLEXIBLE), etc. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. And there's still plenty of time to read your July books & cross off spaces on your July bingo boards!! And by plenty of time I mean only a week because TIME IS GOING WAY TOO FAST! 😂 4y

TheAromaofBooks 1. The rules for #BookSpin & #BookSpinBingo can be found at my masterpost that I created here - https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1989556 - but the basics are that if you want to play, make a list of 20 books you've been meaning to read & tag me when you post it!!
2. You do NOT have to participate in the Bingo part of the challenge if that isn't your thing!! You can read just the BookSpin or just the DoubleSpin or both, or however many books work ⬇
4y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) for you. Basically, choose the reading level that fits your life!! And feel free to change it from month to month!!

3. A NOTE ABOUT HOW I TAG PEOPLE: I have a rotating tag list, not a permanent one. So I'm tagging all of July's participants today, but today I am starting a NEW tag list. This means that if you would like to be tagged for August, either post your list (PLEASE tag me as I sadly do not have time to go through the hashtag!!)⬇ (edited) 4y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) OR let me know on this post that you still want tagged. I know some people don't make a new list every month, so please just let me know that you'd still like to be tagged. I know it's a little confusing, but it's my way of making sure I'm not tagging people who no longer wish to participate. Basically, you have to renew your #BookSpin subscription every month! 😂 ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 4. If you want to take a month off but be tagged with the June reminder post, that's fine, too - just let me know & I'll make it happen!!

5. When you post your list, please let me know if you also want to be tagged in the #BookSpinBingo post specifically.
4y

TheAromaofBooks 6. Just a reminder that the rules here are pretty loose. If you have a huge/challenging book, feel free to let it take up more than one square (I gave Moby-Dick five slots back in November!) ⬇

(cont'd) Some people struggle with having a super specific list & prefer to go with categories (i.e. library book, NetGalley, mystery, etc), which is also fine!! I have a participant who wants to makes sure she reads one physical book & one audiobook, so s 4y

TheAromaofBooks 7. There is still plenty of time to get some books checked off your July lists, too!! And remember, if you didn‘t finish your “official” BS/DS books this month, you are welcome to finish them at a later date & still get credits for the giveaway – when you review the book, just let me know that it‘s from an earlier month. ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 8. If you read your book(s) but just haven‘t gotten around to the reviews, you can still get credit – just comment on this post & let me know. I know the reviewing aspect is where some people get hung up, but I care more about the fact that you actually read it, not that you reviewed it!! ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 9 (& final, geezy). Thank you all SO MUCH for your enthusiasm & for reading my rambly posts & for taking this challenge & making it your own. I LOVE seeing all the different ways people are making this challenge work for them!! Whether you use it to check off one book a month or 25, it's always fun to see at least a tiny dent in the never-ending TBR!! You all are THE BEST & I can't wait to see your lists for August!!! 4y

Aconight Im skipping August and coming back for September! 4y

Vanessa Question: what do we do with books that we start but don‘t finish during the month? Can they go on the next month‘s list, or is that cheating? 4y

jessinikkip Yes please, keep me on it. Been dealing with a horrible ear infection so this month I did awful 4y

imyril Sitting out this month to make space for my backlog :) 4y

Thousand-Lives I‘m taking a bookspin break in August, but I‘ll be back! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Vanessa - You'll find that I'm pretty loosey-goosey about the rules. 😂 I say any book you finish between August 2 and September 2 can go on your August board, even if you start it at the end of July. 4y

Vanessa Awesome - thank you!! 😃 4y

Caryl I‘m joining again for August! I will be posting my list tomorrow. 😎 4y

catebutler I'm finally back!! So please do count me in, please and thank you! 4y
