pickI forgot how much this book rocks. Vimes is such an intriguing, hilarious character, and Lady Sybil...ADORE her. Everything about this book just shocks the hell out of me. Considering when it was published, Pratchett's stance on transgender rights is fucking fabulous. I don't think I caught that the first time I read this. People underestimate the ability of SFF to make a goddamn statement, even if it is “only“ genre fiction. ⬇
pickThis was absolutely lovely. One of my favorite aspects of a SAA book is her emphasis on the importance of female friendships. Loved this.

pickFinished this this weekend for my book club. Really appropriate timing, and super satisfying for my need for justice and retribution. Recommended, especially right now in the US.

I forgot many things in the last week. But here's my November #bookspin bingo card. And here's to next month being better.
@TheAromaofBooks
pickOkay, I'm not gonna post the picture again (see previous post), but I ended up binging this last night 🤣🤣. It was so sweet! And so weird. It's basically exactly what the title states, Pride & Prejudice... In space. The artwork is incredible. I adored this!

Okay, I know this is going to be absurd, but did I shove everything else I was reading to the side to read this instead? Hell yeah! I'm a super Jane Austen fan, but also really easy to please (for the most part) and just look at that cover!

pickWhoa. That was #dark. And surprisingly funny. Lots of violence and gore and 🔥🔥🔥 scenes. Couldn't put it down once I got going. Definitely a #bookrecommendation for those who like their romance a little twisted. Also, it's kinda hard to tell, but there's definitely #blood on the cover.

pickThis was so sweet! Perfect reading for what feels like our first actual #fall weather. Highly #recommended!

pickThis was so sweet! At times a wee bit preachy, but overall charming, warm, and lovely. Highly #recommended for fans of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree.
I particularly enjoy the #purple painted edges :-D

pickHuh. I actually found a book that's not in the database. What is it with these book trackers and poetry?
Anywho, interesting collection of poetry about math, science, death... You know, the big things 😀. Not normally my jam, but I was definitely intrigued. And look at that cover art! Fascinating.

pickAnother cozy fantasy romance (coromantasy?) in the bag for #HauntedShelf. This one I got from NetGalley. Overall, mostly enjoyable. The protagonists are sweet, the town is charming and quirky, and the romance is slow building. My only quibble is that the plot itself seemed to peter out a little too soon. Still, I recommend it. It's a lovely read for this time of year.

#teamflerken @PuddleJumper
pickFinished my first book for #HauntedShelf! Just look at that cover, how much more fall-y can you get?! Super 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥, with amazing descriptions of living on a pumpkin farm with a plus size FMC and MMC. I've been binging Elise Kennedy's enovellas lately and this is my favorite by far.
Also counts for an orange book cover for the #bookscavengerhunt.
#TeamFlerken @PuddleJumper
This is my absolute favorite fall read. I highly recommend this for #hauntedshelf!
#Flerken @PuddleJumper
Here's my October #bookspin list. I love this time of year 😍😁
@TheAromaofBooks #hauntedshelf #flerken
I think this is as good as it gets for my September #bookspinbingo. Good reading month! @TheAromaofBooks
pickI found out some truly distressing/heartbreaking news this week (I'm fine, my family's fine), so I binge read this book to soothe my heart. I have been extremely fortunate in my life to not have experienced much deep loss in my life, but this book healed my bruised heart in ways it's hard to explain. I can't overstate how much the descriptions of death made me feel better. Highly recommended.

A while back, someone posted instructions on how to side load the Litsy app. I got a new phone, and the app is STILL not available in the Play Store. Does anyone remember how to side load it?
Thanks!

Here's my #bookspin bingo card for September. All squares intact 🤣🤣
@TheAromaofBooks
Did pretty well this August. Even almost got a bingo! Posting this last minute as I finished my #doublespin book last night 🤣🤣
#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickThis was so bananas. Many of the references went over my head, but I think that's because this book was set in the 1950s, but published in 1990, and I read it in 2024 🤣🤣. Anyway, the story was beyond bizarre, but I could not put it down. Highly recommended!
And I got my #doublespin for the month! @thearomaofbooks
pickDepressing and informative. And grizzly bears are scary AF!
pickThis was surprisingly compelling. I don't know why I was surprised, as I loved Transmetropolitan, but I guess it's because I wasn't a fan of Ellis' other novel. This is a really terrific police procedural, with the expected rough language and flashes of gore-ish violence. Still, really enjoyed this.
Not a great reading month, was June 😭😭. I think the few I did read, however, were great ones. I'm not even sure which of these was my favorite, though RAZORBLADE TEARS was technically a #dnf.
Onward to a better reading month!
#readingroundup
There's actually a good chance I could get bingo this month 🤣🤣
#bookspinbingo #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
And here's my #bookspin list for July. Here's hoping!
@TheAromaofBooks
Oof, this was NOT a good reading month. The rain clouds over my #aam mean it was a #dnf, which is my second of the year. I was doing so well, too! Oh well. On to the next month!
@TheAromaofBooks
Okay, I think this is the most I'll read this month. No bingo, not still productive. Plus, lots of fun with PicCollage stickers 🤣🤣
#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
I haven't really been keeping up with this, so here it is all at once 😀😀. Might even get bingo this month. #bookspinbingo
@TheAromaofBooks
That took WAY too long. And if I look at this image too closely, I will want to straighten the lines :-D Anyway, here's my #bookspin bingo card. I'm kinda excited that my #aam #authoramonth choice is also my #doublespin!
@thearomaofbooks
My #bookspin list for May. April was NOT a great reading month, and what I did finish was motivated myself by my mood. So who knows how this month will go? @TheAromaofBooks
pickFinished my #aam today. What an incredibly compelling mystery. The descriptions of Australia in the midst of an intense drought was.... Damn, so horrifying. The mystery was depressing AF and the characters were complicated. I highly enjoyed this and might actually continue the series 🤣🤣
@Soubhiville #janeharper #thedry #authoramonth
A little late tonight, but my reading corner for the #HyggehourReadathon includes Christmas lights, a houseplant, and open windows! It was in the 70s today, in Wisconsin, on March 3, and very blustery. Such a weird day.
Reading the tagged book for some "end of the weekend" comfort.
@AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @jenniferw88
Didn't do so great with the specific books I meant to read, but I did a fair amount of reading. Almost got a bingo!
#bookspinbingo #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
pickFinished my first #aam title! This was fantastic. Some of the stories were fairly disturbing, but overall I highly recommend this. I haven't been able to get into her novels, so I'm pleased I enjoyed this.
#authoramonth #laurengroff @Soubhiville
I already forgot to post my #HyggehourReadathon picture, but I DID take this amazing photo of my reading buddy, Huxley, while I was reading. It was a stressful evening, so I appreciated being able to decompress with my pal. Sigh.
@AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @jenniferw88
I think it's safe to assume I won't get much more reading done this month. The quieter I am on Litsy, the more reading i do 😂😂
#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickSigh. I flipping ADORE this book.
Sigh. That's all I got. A swoony sigh 😂😂
#authoramonth #janeausten @Soubhiville
Anywhoo, fantastic book, highly recommended. #aam #terrypratchett @soubhiville 6d
