July already?!? July #bookspinbingo list. Several big books in this one. Hoping for some slow time by the pool and we have a week at the beach coming up. Here‘s to getting some reading in before the August crazy starts!

June bingo final! No bingos, but finished Les Miserables to complete the 1st half of my #chunksterchallenge. Also finished my #bookspin and #doublespin.
My June Bookspin Bingo list. Lots of travel in June means audiobooks and disposable paperbacks. Hoping to cross off lots of these that have been on my list for forever. #bookspinbingo

My summer list! My list for #14books14weeks2023. These are all my personal books. Some have been on my TBR list forever. I am starting with Tombstone. My son just graduated from high school. He loves Westerns, and Tombstone is his fav. We leave in 2 weeks for Vegas, Zion, the Grand Canyon, Phoenix, and of course a stop in Tombstone. Thanks for hosting @TheHeartlandBookFairy !
My February #bookspinbingo list. Lots of carryovers from last month and some new books. I am already working on Alexander Hamilton (my #chunksterchallenge book for 1st quarter) and Far From the Madding Crowd both of which I will finish this month.

No bingo in January, but I am happy. I had 4 5⭐️ reads this month. I was in a massive reading slump the last half of last year, and finally feel like I am working my way out. #bookspinbingo #bookspin #doublespin
1 classic ✔️
2 nonfiction✔️
2022 is in the books. I didn‘t finish many of my challenges. I did make my Goodreads goal, read the Harry Potter series and finished the #chunksterchallenge2022.
I watched Hamilton at the Straz in Tampa this afternoon with my daughter. Then started this chunkster for quarter 1 of the #chunksterchallenge for 2023 with @GinaKButler . 2023 is going to be a good one!
#Chunksterchallenge2022 complete!!
Washington (904 pgs)✔️
Don Quixote (1056 pgs)✔️
The Stand (1152 pgs)✔️
Atlas Shrugged (1168 pgs)✔️
This is one of my favorite challenges of the year that I do with my friend @GinaKButler . Also one of the only challenges I am finishing this year. Thank you so much @Amiable for hosting. Can‘t wait to pick new books and start again in 2023!
September #bookspinbingo list. I am a little rusty. I have taken off the summer to move. Way behind in The Stand for my #chunkster challenge, but hoping to catch up now that things have settled down a little.

June #bookspinbingo list. Lots of car time traveling for baseball tournaments this summer, so 5 audios on here. I should also finish Don Quixote my 2nd quarter #chunksterchallenge book.

My May #bookspinbingo board. Not a very productive month, but had a lot going on. I also was working my way through Pillars of the Earth off and on all month. I didn‘t quite finish though, about 150 pages left.

My April #bookspinbingo board. Several DNF‘s this month including Black Cake and Weather Girl. Just could not get into either of them. Maybe another time. Loved The Diamond Eye. Kate Quinn is amazing as usual. I recommend all her books on audio. Read 3 nonfictions, one ARC, and am still working my way through Don Quixote. April went by so fast!

My March bookspin bingo. I ended up ditching one East European for Red Notice which ended up being a 5 ⭐️ read. Looking forward to April.

I finished my 1st chunkster of the year today. I learned so much about our 1st president. We might have had a very different country without him. There were many great minds involved in America winning it‘s independence and forming it‘s own government, but George Washington was pivotal in making it all work. A solid 4.5 stars from me.
#chunksterchallenge2022
My March bookspin list! Looking forward to some down time during spring break to cross some books off of this list.

February wasn‘t the best month, but read my #bookspin and #doublespin, and challenges and book club books. I say that is an accomplishment. Oh, and Crime and Punishment which has been on my classics TBR for forever.
My first list of 2022. I am trying to focus more on books on my shelves, plus classics and nonfiction. Ready to go! Thanks @TheAromaofBooks for hosting.
My best reading year yet. I read a lot of books…a lot of big books. These 168 books include Middlemarch, Grant, Roots, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Other Boleyn Girl, and ended with Lonesome Dove. I read a lot of good books this year. Bring on 2022.
I am ready tomorrow to start Chunkster #1. Sticky notes are in place. It is 817 pages, so just 10 pages a day for the next 90 days. Let‘s go!!

#my21of21
My top 21 of 21 includes Sparks Like Stars which I couldn‘t get in the grid. Interesting that all 4 of my #chunksterchallenge books made the list. Hopefully next year will be as good.
My December #bookspinbingo list. Hard to believe the year is almost over already. Last list of 2021. #bookspin #doublespin
November #bookspinbingo list! I finished it last night and forgot to post!! I haven‘t looked at anything yet, so no idea what #bookspin and #doublespin are! Happy reading everyone!!
My Spooky October #bookspinbingo board is complete. Lots of good spooky reads, only 1 DNF. My list included 4 audiobooks, 5 short story collections, and several book challenge books. Looking forward to November!!
I am about to start my last October #bookspinbingo book. I am still working on one last audio, but hoping to completely clear the board this month. I have had some unexpected extra reading time this week, and am taking full advantage.
I started this book yesterday and could not sleep until the last page was read. It was fast paced and so good. I have seen the movie so I knew what was going to happen, and still couldn‘t put it down. Perfect for a rainy October day!
It is already 4th quarter of 2021 and time for my final chunkster of the #chunksterchallenge2021. Looking forward to reading this one with @GinaKButler . Love getting to cross some of these chunky classics off of my list!
Grant ✔️
Roots✔️
The Count of Monte Cristo✔️
#bookspinbingo October 2021 list
I have literally been waiting all year to read some of these books this month. I went with a spooky list for my books this month, plus a book club and challenge books. I have 5 creepy, spooky books of short stories in here as well. 🎃 Can‘t wait to see which I will get for my #bookspin and #doublespin this month!!
#Bookspinbingo
That‘s a wrap for September 2021.
19 books read
3 classics
2 nonfiction
7 audio books
7 bingos
#bookspin- Florence Adler Swims Forever ✔️
#doublespin - Northanger Abbey ✔️
So close to clearing the board. Maybe next time!
My September #bookspinbingo list. I have included 2 classics, 2 other challenge books, and 2 nonfictions this month. A little cooler weather would be nice for reading my #bookspin and #doublespin books, but here in Florida September is usually as hot as August.
Another good month for my #bookspinbingo. I finished 15 books with 1 DNF and 2 classics for my challenge. #bookspin. #doublespin
I can‘t believe it‘s August!! Last month it was a ton of library holds that came in at the same time. This month it‘s audio holds. Happy reading….or listening everyone.

July- my best month ever I think. I got halfway through Project Hail Mary, but just couldn‘t get it done. I had 5 bingos, read 6 audio books, 2 NF, and a classic. I am also working my way through The Count of Monte Cristo as my chunkster for this quarter and read almost 500 pages of that.
July #bookspin bingo list. Still trying to get through a rather large stack of library books that all came in at the same time. Can‘t wait to see what numbers are pulled for #bookspin and #doublespin!!
A little true crime reading at the beach this weekend.
My June #bookspinbingo list! I have 22 books on it this month because I couldn‘t cut anymore. There are just so many books I want to read! Thank goodness for long summer days, road trips to travel ball tournaments, and audiobooks. Two days of school left! So excited to see what numbers are drawn for #bookspin and #doublespin.
April #bookspinbongo list. I read 10 books with 1 bingo, but not my #bookspin or #doublebookspins. The 1st month in a while I haven‘t finished them both.
I forgot to post my #bookspinbingo card for March. My best ever card. I finished:
17 books
8 bingos
My #bookspin book, Grant (which also finished my 1st chunkster of 2021)
My #doublespin, The Pearl (my classic novella)
My April #bookspinbingo list! So excited for a new month. March was so good I needed an almost completely new list. I can‘t wait to see what my #bookspin and #doublespin picks are.
I finished this one today. It had scheduled it for 3 months at 959 pages, and finished early. I really enjoyed this. It was easy to read and packed full of information that I didn‘t know about Grant. I am glad I read it.
I also added it to my March #bookspinbingo list because I was going to finish it this month. It ended up being my #bookspin book. I am happy to be done to move on to something else, but so glad I read it.
Finished my March #doublespin book already. This was a short novella about poverty, greed, evil, and love. So many life lessons built in to just over 80 pages. Steinbeck can write a story and this one did not disappoint.
