My October #bookspin list. Totally missed last month. My reading has slipped between work, gardening, etc.

I was able to finish this one since I had 2 days off work due to Hurricane Ian. The books in this series are always enjoyable to read. This one did not disappoint in action, story, or characters.

Another excellent book. Anyone who considers themselves as serious followers of the Messiah needs to understand the historical context of what He said. He was a Jewish man, who followed the Torah, and spoke as a 1st century rabbi would. Excellent reading and enlightening.

My 8 year old loves to write and illustrate stories. I got her first "published" book for my birthday. It is signed, of course. I might have cried.

Gonna give my brain a break from gardening for a bit.

Glad to have this on my shelf. A treasure trove of information from the basics of seed anatomy to proper seed saving from plants you grew.

This was my first by this author. Written not far in the future, the climate is worsening and one man actually does something about it. Great premise and very timely. I hope it's not prophetic!! 4🌟

This was a very thoroughly researched book. The author covers many points and errors that have continued for hundreds of years. The New Testament does indeed validate and encourage obedience to the Torah. Well worth the investment of time.

I went to Tractor Supply to get a good idea of what cost would be to get some chicks. No intention to buy. I bought. Now I know how much it costs.😁 2 Cochins, 1 Rhode Island Red, 1 Black SexLink, 1 Silvwe Lace Wyandotte. Tagged book is on the TBR...

Dang, running a bit behind. August #bookspin. We'll see how this goes. I've two going now and still struggling getting a garden going. Need to build a chicken coop, too.

A milestone! Thanks @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego for being the like that put me at the mark! Does this mean y'all like me? 😁😁😁

Yep....GARDENING! I think that one should be ready. Gardening, in light of the situation of our world, is a skill that one should cultivate. You can also control what goes in your soil and on your plants.

Another fun, exciting addition to the Ranger's Apprentice series. Halt, Horace, and Will are fantastic characters. They are the ones I'd want backing me in a battle. My July #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks (Yes, I will be starting the book below it....)

This will be my July #doublespin. I started this series a couple years ago when I was down with the "C" word. Over 6 days, I read the first 6. These are quick, fun reads but also engaging.

This was an informative book on the importance of having pollinators attracted to your garden space. We're quick to kill off bugs and such with pesticides without realizing we need these to maintain a balance. Through proper planting techniques, we can attract a variety of necessary insects to our space and maintain a healthy, vigorous garden. Very useful information. 4🐝 This was my July #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Yep....another gardening book. This will be my July #bookspin.

The strengths of this book are many. It is excellent in taking you step by step with the process of designing a permaculture space. Where these ideas are easier to see on a larger scale, they are easily implemented on a small scale like a yard. Not everything may be incorporated but the overall principles remain. A fantastic resource. 5🌳

My HR rep knows I like to read. Box of books in the storeroom at work. @Emilayne : "Do you want them?" Me: "Of course a guy with 5000 books at his house wants more." This is what I chose from the box. The rest will move on.

I may be a little obsessed at the moment....

Getting my July #bookspin in. I'm behind on June since I haven't read that #doublespin. Trying to clear the TBR and read more gardening/permaculture to prepare for continued economic problems. (I'll withhold political comments...)

I would call this an introduction to permaculture with a dose of "you can do this" cheerleading. It was easy to read and follow. There is much valuable advice without getting into much of the "theory" of permaculture. This will be a valuable resource to anyone investigating or starting a permaculture garden.

Gardening and feeding the family in these crazy times has engrossed me lately. I want to do it the best way and long term.

Misdirection on a family scale. Excellent twists and turns that keep you changing your mind. Classic. @TheAromaofBooks June #bookspin

Lots of excellent reading in this #fathersdaybookhaul. I happen to know the author of the tagged book personally. She's as wonderful as a person as she is an author. Can't wait to dive into the permaculture guide.

My May #bookspin. Time for a murder mystery.

Although I felt it was a bit long, this is still a solid pick for me. I found it intriguing and probably not so far fetched as one might think. Reacher does what Reacher does. He solves the problem, kisses the girl, and leaves. Fun reading. This was my May #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

My June #bookspin list. I've decide to try something a little different after seeing others use categories vice specific books. That seems to give a little more freedom since moods changes in reading. @TheAromaofBooks

Started this yesterday as my Sabbath book. More in depth in answering the arguments against Torah observance in Christianity. Do the Apostolic writings teach against the Law and its observance? (Hint: The answer is no.)

On to my May #bookspin!!!

A fun, easy read. It was a fitting end to the Ember series. I think the themes of light and darkness were prevalent. This was not only in the physical sense but also in the contrast of characters. This was the ultimate reemergence of man coming back into the light of knowledge after the darkness of the great Disaster. This is my May #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

A little behind on my may #bookspin and #doublespin. This is my May #doublespin and the final book of Ember.

I cant even begin to praise this book nor the entire series enough. The characters. The world-building. The depth of story and plot. Amazing and engrossing. I'll go out on a limb and say this is a top 5 series read for me. Well worth returning to multiple times. This was my April #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

An excellent book. Modern Christianity very much forgets that Jesus was a Jewish rabbi who taught and spoke like his rabbinical counterparts of his time. If we but grasped that concept our faith practices and understanding would change significantly. Another well written and researched book. I didn't agree with all the positions taken, but they were largely minor disagreements. Read it and have your beliefs challenged.

A little light reading....

Sabbath is a few hours away. This will be my Sabbath read. My wife bought it for me. She's a keeper

May #bookspin. Still have some series I'm looking to finish and some "Oh yeah...I saw that on Litsy" reads. @TheAromaofBooks

A strong title for a strong book. The main premise of this book is for each person to take stock of what they believe and hold it up to the truth of the Word of God. Our first source is the Word and listening to the Spirit. Men get it wrong. The author deftly points out errors across the spectrum of Judaism and Christianity. If you don't want your beliefs challenged, don't read this book. I found it refreshing and enlightening.

This short book was a little less informative on how-to than I had hoped. It covers some easy growing crops for Florida. Tips on overcoming the poor soil are helpful. Yeah, you can grow gardens in Florida.

This will be my #bookspin for April. Looking forward to reading this fantastic series. (I think the Pioneer Woman is eye balling my book...😁😁😁)

This was quite the thriller. The twist and turns, the surprises, and the characters made this for quite an enthralling read. Not recommended if you trigger off violence easily. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

The world is going to hell in a handbasket it seems. I was raised working my grandmother's garden. Time to get back to it and grow my own.

I don't know where I heard about this book. I am sure this is going to be an....interesting....sabbath read. I've glanced thru it briefly. Some knowledge of Hebrew names will be helpful, but the author does provide a resource to help. Plenty of annotation and Scriptural reference

This is my #doublespin for April. Yes.....I am starting yet another series.....

And I've been sucked in to another series. This started a little cliche for me but quickly turned from it. The action, political intrigue, and character development made for a page turning thrill ride. Humanity is threatened and it's up to an idealistic ship captain and his crew to bring the threat to an end. I agree with George R R Martin. This is interplanetary adventure as it should be written. 5🌟

This books brings a concept that challenges how we believe and interpret the Bible. Western Christianity forgets the Jewish context, Hebraic style of thinking, and the "Jewishness" of the Messiah. It suffers for it. We miss connections and even deeper meanings by neglecting these things. The ideas presented within the pages challenge us to break free of Western thought and understand Scripture in the style and context it was written.

Gonna roll the dice. It's on my April #bookspin list. Maybe I'll get a head start if the right number is pulled.😁

A fine addition to the Ranger's Apprentice series. A "throwback" book in the middle of the series can be a little off putting, but I didn't mind since it has been a while since I stopped at book 6. This was a reintroduction to the characters. It was an exciting read with enough intrigue and action to keep the pages turning. Flanagan has created a fantastic world.

April #bookspin #doublespin. Still knocking off those older #tbr and some series reads @TheAromaofBooks

Well...I paid full price for it. Time to read it!
