Mid-month #bookspinbingo progress

I'm prepping stock for an upcoming craft market and starting to get orders, so I've been relying more on audiobooks, which makes me wish I'd put more of those on there now lol

My August #bookspinbingo board. I did better than I thought I would because this month was so hectic, and we were all over the place.

This is the start of my maker busy season, so we will see how I go back to finishing going forward or if missing out on a couple of picks will be the norm for a while

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic month!! 4w

My September picks.
The top three books are from August, so if I finish one or more, I'll replace them with others from my tbr (not like there's slim pickings or anything lol)

Pickpick

I don't think I can express how much I truly love this series. You get a wonderful story that draws you in with characters I can't help but be invested in and love. There's the mystery of it mixed with humor and a found family of oddballs who all work together to give me a read that never disappoints. 5⭐️

Today has been hectic, and I feel like I barely had a minute to just breathe, so tonight I will dig into a new book/series and hopefully settle down my chaotic brain enough to get a couple hours sleep before travel starts early tomorrow

Hidden Pictures: A Novel | Jason Rekulak

I'm about 3/4 of the way through and this book isn't even a fraction as scary/horror-ish as I was led to believe. Maybe things pick up right at the end? And am I the only one who feels like the wife is batcrap crazy? She keeps switching moods from one extreme to another

I've been dying to get my hands on this book forever then last week out of the blue my husband gave it to me. Shocked was an understatement lol. Now I have to hoard it for the perfect, uninterrupted reading time

All Hallows: A Novel | Christopher Golden

I'm about 120 pages in and I feel like I'm reading a Halloween episode of one of the soap operas my Grandma used to watch. Has anyone read this? Does it shift to an actual scary story? Or am I the only one not vibing with it?

wanderinglynn I haven‘t read it but I love your book cover! 😍 3mo
BookishMadHatter @wanderinglynn thanks! It's a fabric dust jacket I got on etsy from bookbestiesuk and now I want a dozen more lol 3mo

My bookmark speaks the truth.
Also, there's only one more book in this series until I'm all caught up, and that stinks because I'm enjoying it so darn much and don't want to have to wait for new additions.

Finally sitting back with my book this evening. I still strongly dislike Heather, though I really enjoy Kirk's writing and want to know who the baddie is and have no desire to stop reading it

#bookspinbingo mid-month check in

I've been doing really well with keeping to my list this month ... but I can feel myself being lured by new books recently 🙃. Hopefully I can keep going strong, but All Hallows seems to have lost a bit of its shine/appeal to me lately. I shall see how it goes.

Currently Reading the tagged book (number 18 on my board)
