So here is October's #bookspin reading list. Got to catch up on my #ReadingTheAmericas2023 challenge! I'm ready to do this! @thearomaofbooks

Due to a friend's passing and a road trip to California for the funeral I lost momentum on the reading this month. However, I did manage to read the book spin and doublespin books so yay. Hoping to get back into the swing of things this month! #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I have a new to me favorite Mafia romance author! Y'all this was so good. I inhaled it in one sitting... it was perfect for the long toadtrip I just took. Highly recommend this one. Mind the trigger warnings! #LittensLoveRomance

This one won't be a winner for everyone. It's very dense with the political aspect as well as the dynastic elements at play. Since I LOVE history I found this to a very interesting read...however it does not read as a “page-turner“ and many may be put off by that. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

This was a really easy and informative read. It offers information on the whole family but in a way that is easy to take in and understand. Especially if you don't know a whole lot and want a comprehensive introduction to this part of Italian history. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

This will be one of my favorite nonfiction reads of this year. The author manages to tie all the events together to give the reader a front row seat to this one moment during The Troubles. Highly recommend this one. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I wanted to like this one more then I did. Whilst it started out well...it was dragging by the end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ read. I would've like a little more information and a better paced narrative. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I watched a documentary on this topic with the author participating with telling about her interaction with Sam Little. It was really interesting and scary at the same time. I put this one on my wish list and waited patiently for it to release. I inhaled this #chunkster! True crime at its finest! #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

This one whilst it was informative...seemed at times to feel top heavy with its pacing. Really feel it could've been about 100 pages shorter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ read. #bookspin #doublespin @thearomaofbooks

This was a fun YA read with a little myster, a lot of creative storytelling and engaging characters. This is one of those books that will entertain all ages. I recommend this one for your fall reading piles.

OMGeeee y'all i picked this one up on a lark...I shall be picking up the sequel right away. This #chunkster was spicy, sweet, and a total page-turner! Highly recommended this one! #LittensLoveRomance

This is the first in a new series for young readers by this author. I found it to be an easy and creative read. To be fair this is one of my favorite children writers so I may be a wee bit biased. Keep an eye out as it releases next month!

Fair warning, I'll read just anything regarding Churchill. I worried this author wouldn't grab me as he runs hot and cold for me. However this one was a solid read and offered a unique perspective on a topic that's widely written about. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

This will be one of those books I'll recommend to anyone interested in WWII and the African theater of the conflict. Full of history but told in a way that doesn't read as a text book. Damien Lewis is a go-to nonfiction writer for me. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

For someone who knows NOTHING about this band ...aside from the large amount of thr CD's we sell...a coworker who is just ever so slightly obsessed with them recommended this read. I did find it interesting how this band as well as other K-pop bands are created and to read about each of these people perspective on their own creation and popularity. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I decided to throw in a nonfiction read about art. I found this one to be a very good read if you're not a well read art nonfiction reader. Plenty of information. I perhaps loved this read due to the fact I've seen many of these artists works and have visited some of the locations that were inspirational for these people.

This book was haunting to read. Whilst is not a new release it was new to me and this #chunkster enthralled me. What makes this book about this woman different from others it's her own narrative. Truly recommend this one if you're looking to read a nonfiction title. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I have .ong been interested in this family and the history they wrote. This was a very good read regarding their private home on Hyannis Port. Interesting tale of the house and the people who called it home. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

When I was reading this I legitimately didn't know much about this game as I don't know much...OK nothing about rugby. At the end of this book I couldn't read fast enough to find out how it was going to end! Another one I highly recommend if you're looking for a solid #nonfiction read.

OMG have you ever had a book you yell at in hopes you can turn the narrative to something else? Yes, pointless but I still did it. This was so nerve wracking to read but still I couldn't put it down. This is was the authors own experience climbing Everest. @thearomaofbooks I highly recommend this one for the hubby 🤣

I am finding this man to be incredibly interesting now that I'm focusing on him through biography type reads. This #chunkster although a little dry in some areas was overall quite the page turner. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

So a co-worker of mine suggested this one after I read Edurance saying I'd be sucked in...she wasn't wrong. Although I have zero interest in climbing a hill let alone a mountain like this one I was totally invested in the history and story. And of course I've ordered a few books mentioned in this one. #nonfiction #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

Wow! First in America we aren't taught much about this conflict so I came in with a little knowledge conflict wise...but little to nothing about Churchills involvement. This man was so daring and audacious at the same time. This reads like a fast paced thriller...not what it is a very informative #nonfiction read. Highly recommend this one. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

This was such a hard read but at rhe same time something that needs to be read. So heartbreaking but at the same time informative. If you're looking for a good #non-fiction read on this topic I'd suggest adding this one to the list.

If you love dark romance and your hero's to be morally dark gray...OK just dark period than you'll want to read this author. This one comes with plenty of spicy heat, twisted storyline and one dark hero. Mind the trigger warnings if you are a sensitive reader. #LittensLoveRomance

Yes, my dad was back in the hospital for a couple days. This book kept me company. I loved how fun it was...whilst being peppered with great characters and mystery. This is the first book in this new series. If you like cozy mystery reads you'll want to add this to your list!

Whilst this isn't a large book...it has a lot of interesting information as well as breaks down what is the Belle Epoque and how it influenced so many. If you're a fan of history and love the romance of the Edwardian time period along the French culture and its many influences you'll like this book. #bookspin #nonfiction @thearomaofbooks

No one is ever going to accuse me of being a science person...with that said I inhaled this one. A ton of history, a lot of science but in a way that's easy to explain and a lot about the countries and islands of the Dutch East Indies. I didn't want to put this one down. #nonfiction #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

For my #nonfiction #bookspin reading month I started off with this one. It was chilling, sad, and at the same time a total page turner. There are several first person accounts of this tragedy. Highly recommend this one. @thearomaofbooks

So for the month of September my #bookspin reading list will be all nonfiction!I think I've curated a fun and interesting selection. @thearomaofbooks

Well my #mangathemed #bookspin month of reading was a smashing success for me. I was introduced to so many good stories and authors! Plus it was fun to have a theme. @thearomaofbooks

One of my #Goldsboro books came and I have inhaled this one. It was so very good. A little dark, a whole lot entertaining. I highly recommend this one if you're a fan of retelling books or books based off classics .

Whilst I liked the premise...I wasn't thrilled with the the execution and for me the story fell flat. I prefer a character driven read and this one was just a little too much world building and too little character growth.

I loved this small town romance. I was surprised how easily I was drawn in. Spicy and fun and this is book 1 in the series so I'll definitely be reading the rest. #LittensLoveRomance

I'm giving this a very soft pick and I will continue with the series for at least one more book. This is a taboo age-gap romance that can at times be super spicy whilst at the same time awkward. I'm hoping the author loses her discomfort in writing this story and takes ownership of her stories #LittensLoveRomance

This was a solid 3⭐️ read for me. A light hearted rom-com. A perfect read if you're looking for something light and easy. Whilst it hasn't made my keeper shelf it did entertain. #LittensLoveRomance

This was a fast-paced read that actually read as a thriller rather than a #nonfiction read. I honestly did know much about Italy and Mussolini and his daughters roll leading up to WWII. Very interesting from a history lovers perspective.

5 ⭐️'s! I blew through this one and I was captivated by the story, by Alice Hoffmans way of telling a story and the way she brought her characters to life. All the feels. Easily one of my top 10 for the year!

This is my special edition for my #probablysmutbookclub and wow! This was a really spicy, fast-paced read. It is a dark why choose romance so mind those trigger warnings if you're a sensitive reader. #bookspin #LittensLoveRomance @thearomaofbooks

This was my first time reading this author and it won't be my last. I loved how she touched on the classes and brought to life Victorian industrial Era. Will be in the top 10 of favorite reads this year.

This #nonfiction #chunkster read left me in awe. To read about her experiences through so many heartbreaks, war, and how her life was forever changed and how she took those experiences and shaped how she lived her life authentically. Highly recommend this book.

Half the fun of these books are their titles. This was a fun and silly read but at the same time the storytelling was really good. Quick read and I'll probably continue with the series. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

This series! I have loved every minute of it. The world building and storytelling is what led me to read other light novel series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read series wide. I'm sad to see this one come to a close. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I loved this steamy and dark hockey romance! This was the first time I've read this author and it won't be my last. This has left me with an awesome book hangover! #LittensLoveRomance #chunkster

This book was recommended through one of my reading journals and I was so very glad I picked this title up. The writing is beautiful and the story is quite the page turner.

This book! First off I love Emily McIntire and I was so impatient waiting for this one. She writes totally dark and adds her own spin and twists to her fractured fairytales. This is also going to be her last book for a bit due to her hands and fingertips being so sore from her chemo treatments. Still, knowing there wasn't something coming soon I still managed to inhale this one! Spicy, and dark questionable hero...yes please! #LittensLoveRomance

This is a soft pick for me as times there were a couple of slow points but overall I did enjoy the story, characters and I am a fan of this authors writing voice. It's currently free with KU.

This was on my TBR pile for a couple of weeks. It was so very good and about a small part of this conflict I knew little about. Winston Churchill was brilliant in many ways #nonfictionread

Wow! I was totally caught up in this book. I can't imagine living through this it was nerve-wracking enough just reading this. I love a good #nonfiction read and highly recommend this one!

I really enjoyed this one. Totally entertaining and I loved the characters. One of the things I've been really enjoying with this #mangathemed reading month is the artwork. If you're looking for a new series highly recommend this one. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks
