My June #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin are
12 - You Are Fatally Invited (#NetGalley)
10 - Jane and Dan at the End of the World (#BOTM)

I'm looking forward to both of these. They are from #BOTM and #NetGalley, both of which I need to start reading more of.

Thanks @thearomaofbooks

I look forward to every S.A. Barnes book. It‘s how I discovered sci-fi space horror and I‘m all in.
They are just so much fun. I should have tried them sooner as I‘m a big space monster movie fan.
This was a lot of fun; quite the ride. Perfect? No. But FUN. If anyone has any recs on books like this, please let me know below.
For those who have read this, I have a question in the comments.

I picked up 4 new Christies with 1970s covers (my favorites) through #pango.

We won't be getting to any of these anytime soon for #AgathaChristieClubR3 #ChristiesCapers.

June #Bookspin list
@thearomaofbooks

Well…I discovered #pango.
It‘s going to be dangerous because there are a ton of vintage 1970s #agathachristie covers on there, which the #christiescapers group knows I 😍. I have 3 coming.
Bright side is I‘ve starting selling books there too.

I did (another) reread of this before I watch the show. I hope it‘s not disappointing. 🤖 🤞 #bookblanket2025 #readingblanket

This was a super cute, quick and fun read.
My only complaint is the overuse of eye rolling 🙄 mentioned every other paragraph for a bit. It was noticeable enough it actually took me out of the story.
I wish more of the old gang were in it, but it would have gotten too crowded; and the new characters were great.
I recommend this, especially if you liked the first one. #bookcover #grannysquare #readingblanket2025 #bookblanket

Trying to decide what to make for dinner Sunday as I try bourbon number 2. (It‘s better than yesterday‘s; less burn-y)

@Ruthiella @dabbe
I don‘t know if I like bourbon yet. ?
I did get an array of minis at the store the other night.
So I have more to try.
I‘m usually more of a margarita, Piña Colada, daiquiri, sweet dessert drinks, or prosecco person. ? ?
You know, a light weight. ?

Vera Wong Zhuzhu should be having the time of her life.
#FirstLineFridays

Last night I tried this bourbon to see if I like bourbon 🥃. 🤷
I‘m liking this second book a lot but if I took a shot every time someone rolled their eyes I‘d be passed out in less than an hour.
It‘s noticeable enough that it took me out of the story. ☹️

Finished the #bookcover #grannysquare for my #bookblanket
#readingblanket2025 #litsycrafters

$1 for this new looking hardback. I couldn‘t resist. 🐈‍⬛

I like Sutton and I appreciated her story a lot; it was very heartfelt. However, I thought there would have been a bit more crafting in the book, and I wish there were photos of her career AND her crafts. There was some timeline shuffling in the chapters so I got a little confused a few times. Low pick for me.
I kept switching from hardcover to #audiocrafting. Now I‘m getting ready to crochet a #bookcover #grannysquare for my #readingblanket

As usual all my holds came in at once from the library so that blows up my planned #TBR
Bonus pic of sleepy Prue after she knocked some pillows off the daybed in my home office. 🦮😹

I really enjoyed this book. The picture puzzles were intriguing & the twists compelling. I sped through this book. I would have finished it in one go if I didn‘t have to work. 😁 I hate to use the word “fun” because there are some really bleak moments in this book, but it WAS fun to read.
Didn‘t have the perfect green, and it was a lighter weight so I added an additional round, but I still like this #grannysquare for my #bookblanket #doublespin

#BOTM is here! I cracked and got The Man Made of Smoke so I could get the add-ons I really wanted and I had massive FOMO about not picking up Wild Dark Shore before.
Piper thinks we need to take our lunch break so we can read.

My #bookspin is also the #LSFBC pick this month. I love it when a plan comes together. 😹
My #doublespin was recommended by a knitting/book YouTuber I follow and it just came off hold at the library.
#LitsySciFiBookclub

I cracked and got the North as my #BOTM because I REALLY wanted the add-ons.
Plus I had a lot of FOMO that I didn‘t grab Wild Dark Shore earlier. And everyone I‘ve talked to about it loved it. With my #aardvarkbookclub picks that‘s 6 books bought today. I need to slow down. 📚

This was much better than I thought it was going to be. I actually laughed out loud (the Barbara clinic scene) in front of the #manpanion, my sister & her husband (they were watching the football draft so I was reading). I liked the crocheting in it & here‘s another square for my #readingblanket
As another said, it got repetitive & I did skim a little at times.
I have no desire to read the first 2 books, but this one was a pleasant surprise.

Has anyone else seen this before when they went to skip #BOTM?
I went skip for the 3rd (4th?) month in a row. The main picks just aren‘t hitting for me. BUT, there are FOUR add-ons I want but can‘t get. So frustrating. 😠

Well @AardvarkBookClub you have done it again! I couldn‘t hit Add to Box fast enough this morning and I had to stop myself at 2 books this month. Well done!
#aardvarkbookclub

I'm not doing so well in my #GoodReads #DustyBookshelfChallenge this year.
May's books are The Hitchcock Hotel and The Bachelorette Party, both are #netgalley books I've been sitting on for a little while.
I'm always hoping for some crossover with my #bookspin picks.

I‘m very behind in my reading this month. So, in addition to my physical book, I did a little #audioknitting tonight. This is from a mystery gnome knit along #MKAL with Imagined Landscapes. Perfect for one of the Queen of Mystery‘s books.
My Professor is pretty cute.
I‘m enjoying this Christie so far.
#ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
#knittersoflitsy #craftersoflitsy

My May #bookspin potentials list. (so far)
A lot of these are #netgalley titles. I am WAYYYY behind on reviews for them so I really need to get to reading from my backlist.
@thearomaofbooks

While this was not as good as the first one it still was delightful fun. I wish we could get books from the other women‘s perspectives, especially Nat; to me Billie is not as interesting as some of the others.

#bookblanket #crochet #hookersoflitsy

My #aardvarkbookclub books are finally here!

Free books at #silentbookclub tonight!

$0.50 each at the library last night.

I MAY have gone a little crazy this week with $2.99 and under ebooks.

While this was not as good as the first one, I still really enjoyed reading this sequel.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This square still needs to be blocked but I think the colors are pretty good for this cover.

April‘s #bookspin is a mood read and my #doublespin may require a box of tissues.

I needle felted my own little Marcellus this weekend. #craftersoflitsy

After much debate I skipped #BOTM (again) and managed to stop myself at 2 (though I wanted 6!)for #aardvarkbookclub
What did you all get this month?

#coverstories #waves

April #Bookspin and #Doublespin possibilities.
@thearomaofbooks

I knew I could count on a cozy for a #barn. These are two #coverstories from my kindle.

When looking on my kindle for tomorrow‘s prompt I found that I DO have one book with an #umbrella on it. #coverstories

#coverstories #jewelry

#coverstories #pastel

Another vintage Christie from my collection. This is a 1980s edition.
#coverstories #clock

I discovered that I do have a book cover with a #tuxedo on it. Better late than never.
#coverstories

I keep flip flopping on what to read next. I started Such Sharp Teeth but I don‘t think aim in the mood right now. Since this one is so short I figure I have enough time to read it before our #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3 read next week.

#coverstories #bridge

Some #river books on my #kindle
#coverstories

A Barnes and Noble opened up today near my house.

I won a book from #goodreads !

Up next.

I love this cover so much; except the creepy eye in the #keyhole
