“On the day he would first meet Thomas Edison, Paul watched a man burn alive in the sky above Broadway.” #FirstLineFridays

Loved this book! Amy Poeppel never disappoints.

Very light reading month for me. I DNFd Ninth House and finished Hazel on the morning of September 1st. So that‘s actually only 6 for the month!
#bookspin DNF just wasn‘t feeling it.

I almost skipped this month but decided on the literary fiction and added the Backman. #BOTM

Ready for #spookyseason with thrillers and a few scary ones. My reading has been out of sorts lately. Hoping for a good month. #Bookspinbingo

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much, @Kshakal I love the books and all the goodies, can‘t wait to dive in! (I may or may not have already dove into the Hershey‘s) #FFFS

And thank you to @Chrissyreadit and @Avanders for organizing!

I think the tagged book fits the #covertrend

My #FFFS package arrived! Can‘t wait for opening day! @Chrissyreadit @Avanders

GoBills! Also I forgot to post when I mailed my #FallingForFallSwap . It has already arrived safely. #FFFS

Met my GoodReads goal with the tagged book. Can I get to 100? Or maybe I‘ll go for some chunksters. #readinggoals

Short story ✅

A few summer titles go back on the shelf till next year. On to dark academia and spooky season! #bookspinbingo

I almost skipped this month, then I realized I could get the Hilderbrand as an add-on so I picked the fancy fantasy. Something different for me. #BOTM

Some school settings and dark academia for the month. #bookspinbingo

Picked up my library holds. It‘s all green grass and blue skies!

Great picks for me! One that is high on my list and one that is a short story (85 pages is a long short story tho) #bookspinbingo

I can‘t believe I managed 8 books considering one of them was a huge Stephen King. I even got a bingo. #bookspinbingo #JULYwrapup

Only one more month of #summerreading then the leftover summer books go back on the shelf until next year! #bookspinbingo

Somebody is up to no good. #covertrend

This “look” feels like a #covertrend to me.

Road trip! ✅✅
Summery titles ✅
#Bingo - nope
#SeriesLove2025 - nope

It was between this one and Finding Grace. I was really trying not to add on this month. My credits are going fast! #BOTM

I will definitely be reading the tagged book and whatever summery titles I can fit in with this over 1000 pager. #BookSpinBingo

Two books from my summer #TBR with a great summer #CoverTrend.

Look at all those free spots in a row! #bookspinbingo

These are two that keep getting pushed to the next month. Now I will finally read them. Just needed that #BookSpinBingo incentive. 🙂 #Bookspin #DoubleSpin

My picks. Had to “add on” again! #BOTM

Ready for #summerreading ! Hoping for the temps to get out of the 50s and 60s 🤞. (Note: #16 is actually Unreasonable Hospitaliy) #bookspinbingo

My favorite day of the year! Annual American Association of University Women‘s book sale. 19 books and only one I already own. Filled in several series. A successful haul! #BookHaul

Let the #summerreading on the back deck commence! Finally.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅ tagged book

Since I only read about 8-10 books per month and half of those are library books (free spaces) many titles get pushed to the next month. So many books, so little time! #MountTBR

Happy #IndependentBookstoreDay ! #bookhaul #booksandcoffee #TalkingLeavesBooks

The John Green was the only one on my radar the others are spur of the moment picks.

This is how #BookSpinBingo keeps me tackling my #TBR while the library holds keep coming in. #bookspin #doublespin

#5JoysFriday

☀️ Going to see a play tonight with my son, a classic!
☀️ My favorite tennis player (Jessie Pegula) won today and is going to the semi finals in the Charleston Open
☀️ The sun is shining!
☀️ Coffee. Always coffee. I fear soon it will be a luxury rather than a staple.
☀️ Library holds are in.

Shout out to my local indie Talking Leaves! #SundayFubday

Ready for April. Hoping for some reading outside weather. But it‘s doubtful. #bookspinbingo

Reading the tagged book reminded me that I never finished tracking last year‘s series progress.
TOP ROW: continuation of series I‘m in the middle of (the real goal)
MIDDLE ROW: series started and finished
BOTTOM ROW: new series started
#SeriesLove2024.
Hope to do better with series I‘m in the middle of this year.

Oh Lordy this was good. First 5⭐️ of the year.

Birthday book haul! (Plus some leftover Christmas gift card) The tagged book is my annual “pick out a book that I‘ve never heard of before for my birthday” book. #bookhaul #happybirthdaytome

I picked up the tagged book at a used book sale, along with others in the series just because of the covers. I had no idea the author is an actress who has been in a million things! She will be playing Joyce in the adaptation of Thursday Murder Club. So fun! #BookSpinBingo

#MonthlyWrapUp #MonthlyStats Pretty good month. Favs: All the Water in the World, Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe, The Snowbirds; Disappointments: The Lost Bookshop, Cafe at the Edge of the World. Four backlist from my Kindle #ReadMyKindle. No #Series2025 this month, but did complete my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin ❤️🩷💜

Big month! I get to pick a free birthday book and a free one from the top 5 of 2024 in addition to my monthly pick. Woo hoo! #BOTM

So. There was a sale at Book Outlet. Filled in some series titles. #bookhaul.

But one book was not in the box, ☹️

I don‘t even know what I‘m in the mood for. I‘m just looking at the shelves and adding titles. #bookspinbingo

I‘ll be reading my Kindle with my #bookSpin and #DoubleSpin this month. #readmykindle

The board is ready. I‘ve been doing good with reading my shelves but a lot of library holds are coming in. I‘ll be using up those free spaces. #bookspinbingo

Pretty good month. #readingstats #monthlyrecap# BookSpinBingo
