Wow! Totally worth the hype :) I prefer her more recent works but this was riveting and I really enjoyed the #audiobook . Great palate cleanser from all the holiday stories. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

My #jolabokaflod package can a couple of days ago and I forgot to post. Thanks @Gissy ! I love how you wrapped it and I didn‘t peek in the tissue paper :) Thank you so much for organizing @MaleficentBookDragon I can‘t wait to open them up 😍🥰😍

Fun and unexpected, I really enjoyed this fake dating trope that was different than any others I‘ve read. I loved the body positivity, the librarian FMC, and the work that these two do on themselves to make themselves confident and their relationship stronger. All that and spice too! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

My #tlt #ThreeListThursday cookie version! Loved this one @dabbe As a former price baker and self described cookie aficionado, this one was fun 🤩

Funny, festive, and fiesta, this novella available on KU was a great holiday mood read. Pretty spicy, I especially enjoyed the HGTV show goes to a small town set up. #BookspinBingo #readyourkindle

I really enjoyed this heartwarming and hopeful read that is perfect for fans of holiday small-town romances with a great cast of characters. Centered around an autistic heroine, McNicoll celebrates the beauty of neurodivergence and the importance of acceptance. Highly recommend! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Sweet, clever, and compelling, this YA set of short stories by some of the most talented writers in YA was great. Highly recommend! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Your #jolabokaflodswap2024 package is on its way, @Karisimo ! I love this swap, thanks for arranging again, @MaleficentBookDragon 🎄🤶♥️

Delightful! Sweet and festive, this was short but packed a lot of story into it. A little predictable but the perfect story to listen to while running holiday errands or wrapping presents 🎄🎁🤶#BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Dark, twisty Christmas thriller that was short, surprising, and great on #audio. If you like a dark English Manor, rich families who are awful, and a good twist, this may be the holiday book for you. Really enjoyed this one! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was amazing! Hard to put down, great characters that were unique, compelling, and fully formed. The writing was tight, well paced, and smart. So good on #audio ! Highly recommend! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was a cute, YA queer romance that was perfect for the season but it fell a little short of knocking my socks off. I liked the small town setting and the supportive family, overall a sweet and cozy holiday story. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is the funniest dark romance ever. Definitely lots of content warnings but the characters are also wickedly funny! Spicy for sure and not for the faint of heart! Not sure I would have kept reading but the #audio was fantastic! I would listen to the male narrator read just about anything. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Quiet, thoughtful, calming, romantic. I really enjoyed this story of a young woman finding her purpose and her found family supporting her process. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Funny, sweet, heartwarming. The perfect way to kick off December! Highly recommend checking out the Dream Harbor series!

Such a delight! I always enjoy being back in the world of this complicated family. This love story has everything you want, authenticity, banter, humor, romance, and a sweet pup. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

While I‘ve read about 15 of my #readordonate books, I was inspired to do a bit of a purge today to make room for more new books in my life. I sold nearly 30 books to Half Price Books, only bought 3 ( one was a gift) and feel lighter for it! Thanks for the inspiration @julieclair !

This entire series of holiday novellas was great! Great way to get in the holiday romance mood!

Had a great November and cleared the board! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Thoughtful and poetic, a love letter to earth while questioning humankind‘s ability to take care of her. Seeing the world through the eyes of various astronauts and a cosmonaut from varying backgrounds was really illuminating and quite different from anything I‘ve ever read. Great on #audio! I will be thinking about this one for a while! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Funny, spicy, great holiday book to kick off the season! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

#BookspinBingo list-last one of 2024!

This collection of newspaper articles from the 1930‘s had a few really interesting ones and then a couple that while they were definitely of the time, they were tough to read now. His perspective of NYC from many different walks of life, rich and poor, during this pivotal time was illuminating and revealing. #BookspinBingo #roll100 @TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper

Catching up on my reviews. This is so funny and has such a great premise. A woman‘s attic keeps sending her new husbands, one at a time, but in a steady stream. How is it happening? Should she keep one or keep sending them back to the attic? I don‘t want to say much but this one made me think about why, or why not, do we decide to spend our lives with one person? #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Fantastic! Quirky, funny, inventive! What happens when you are falsely accused of a murder that happened 25 years ago and the only witness is your childhood best friend? And that friend is a pony? This novel switches between 2 POVs, the MC and her pony. As someone who spent some time with horses as a teen, the pony‘s voice is self centered, a little snarky, and oh so authentic. Highly recommend on #audio, the narrators are spot on! #BookspinBingo

This was heartbreaking, raw, and difficult to read at times. The voice in each short story rings out with truth and pain and many show resilience and resolution. This has taken me a few months of coming back to it as I couldn‘t read it all at once but I‘m so glad to have finished it. So well written, it sings. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I really loved this one! Woman finds herself alone, unemployed, and unsatisfied and takes a spur of the moment trip that will change her life. A literary bus ride through the UK? Yes, please! When she discovers all the other tour members are centenarians, the bus is less than modern, and the driver enjoys messing with her, will she find a way to enjoy herself? 😉 Reader, she will! #netgalleygroup #BookspinBingo #Doublespin

Really fun, great mystery, totally get the hype! Good on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Was so great to see these amazing authors in person to talk about their books and process. Love a book festival! #texasbookfest

Kicking off the Texas Book Festival with one of my favorites, Devorah D.E.E.P. Mouton.

Great premise, complicated characters, delightfully delicious romance! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #romantsy

So good! Twisty, dark, great pace and tension. Fabulous on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Weird and wonderful, I throughly enjoyed this funny, unique story of a new mom finding her way in a difficult world with a complicated family. I knew nothing about wrestling and even less about Onlyfans but they were fascinating elements that added so much to the novel. The internal and external exploration of tense and perspective kept me thinking. Really great! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Thanks for the tag @Ddzmini !

1. Spots! But can we call them polka dots?
2. Yep, just started the tagged one. Love how it starts!
@TheSpineView #two4Tuesday

Anyone going to the Texas Book Festival in Austin this weekend? We could do a #litsy meet up? #Texas #texasbookfestival #austin

Sweet, charming, golden retriever younger guy who it takes a while for recognition to dawn. Always love a book with a bookseller character, especially one as delightful as Hazel. Nice escape leading into fall 😍 #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Fantastic and so good on #audio . Tucci is such a good writer, fett, funny, descriptive, and evocative. His food descriptions make my stomach growl and his view on the world and humanity make my heart soar. I am so thankful his books are in the world. Finished this while painting my bathroom and it made the time go by quickly. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was just okay for me. A good escape during a difficult time that make me grin and laugh but I wanted a little more depth from@these characters. I‘ll keep reading Shalvis, just prefer a little less formula. And yes, I put up my tree. Hard week, y‘all. #netgalleygroup #bookspinBingo #doublespin @AllDebooks @TheAromaofBooks

Snarky and evocative with a creepy Dexter vibe, this influencer is over misogyny and the disgusting men who prey on women. While a bit uneven in places, there was a good twist and it felt like the perfect book for me right now. Really over mediocre, entitled men. Sigh. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #fightthepatriarchy

My #comfortread for election night. Seems appropriate 😬💙💙💙🤪 @BookwormAHN

Taking a lot of deep breaths today, drinking my water, only peeking at the news. If you are in the US, I hope you‘ve voted 💙🇺🇸💙

Chilling, informative, creepy. This psychiatric nurse was one of the original experts on serial murderers. She shares her personal history as well as those of the killers she helped bring to justice. Not for the faint of heart, she does shy away from the dark and upsetting components but it is worth the read. Great on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Adored this final installment in the Lovelight series. The characters, the setting, and the secondary characters feel like old friends. I‘m sad to close this series out but can‘t wait for what will come next! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m so happy I finally read this short story collection from Ann Patchett. The story topics run the gamut, but I throughly enjoyed them all, which rarely happens for me. They are read by the author which adds a layer of authenticity and charm and this felt like the perfect time to read it as we consider women‘s rights, bodily autonomy, and the right to read. #Bookspin #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

A great perk about work travel is ordering dinner and a glass of wine from the hotel bar while reading your book. Cheers from Houston!

Absolutely riveting! A must read for anyone with kids in school, taxpayers, teachers, or citizens who care about the education of Americans. Great on #audio . Seriously, read this, especially if you live in Texas! #BookspinBingo

This was scary! Funny and charming but possessed dolls, puppets, even a clown or two! Read and enjoy, but know the risks :) Perfect Halloween season read! #BookspinBingo #Doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

My November #BookspinBingo list! @TheAromaofBooks

This slow burner romance was filled with heart, angst, and friends who become family. Surprisingly powerful storytelling that made me skim over the unbelievable coincidences. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Great thriller! This gripping and provocative story is perfect for fans of investigative journalism, mystery, and crime thrillers. It kept me listening to the #audio as it explored the darker aspects of society and the importance of giving voice to the voiceless. Well crafted and compelling, I‘ll definitely seek out the next in the series. @TheAromaofBooks #BookspinBingo
