I truly liked this a whole lot more than I thought I would. Someone picked it for book club.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

These characters are very fun. This is the second book.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Reading this on the wharf. Might be getting a sunburn, actually.

#BookSpin #DoubleSpin #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I love this author. I will read anything she puts out in the world. Even a book about music, which isn't normally my jam.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is fun. It has the same narrator as Stephanie Plum. And it has a similar vibe. And it's funny. It's foolish and I'm here for it.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is cute. I mean it's about the environment and how evil men rule the world, but it's just not that complicated. There are Easter eggs from The Change. If you like this author, which I do, definitely go for it.

I wasn't overly impressed with this one. It felt like a bunch of rom com movies thrown together but possibly without an actual romance.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I thought this was excellent. The author takes Mexican folklore and turns it into a mystery about missing girls. There's a lot of Spanish which might be my only caution if you don't speak Spanish. It slowed my pace some but others might find it difficult.

This was interesting. And entertaining.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is very good. I hope it's the start of a series. Otherwise the author is slightly mean regarding that ending.

This author has interesting things to say. She makes you think about things. This is about not engaging with social media mostly and appreciating the world around you. She spoke at a women's conference.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

😍😍😍😍😍

I really like her. Definitely audiobook.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is very good. And it's inspired by a real person. My bestie picked it for irl book club. Definitely recommend.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Anyone else end up in a shark costume at work today?

Brought this one to the park. Hoping to catch up. Will probably take a nap.

#SheSaid

This is a follow up to The Night Ends with Fire. And I think there's another coming later. I'm here for it.

I don't think I ever read this when it originally came out. Despite my love for Judy Blume. It's good. Definitely worth the hype.

The current beach read. I did way more beach than read but whatever.

#Aardvark @AardvarkBookClub

This was excellent though it definitely reminded me of The School for Good Mothers. The author gets into a lot of random topics without disrupting the flow of the story.

#DoubeSpin @TheAromaofBooks

I like this one. I'm definitely reading the next one. She got me with the cliffhanger.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This one was really well done. I'm a sucker for historical fiction set in cities where I have been. This is set in medieval Bruges.

#BookSpin #DoubleSpin #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This author is magic. I love all of her books. This one did not disappoint. She might be an autobuy for me. I don't actually buy many books so that's how much I love her.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is sort of fun but it's pretty YA. I don't believe I will be reading the rest of the series.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was sort of interesting. She has an interesting perspective.

#SheSaid @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This maybe wasn't my favorite but the audiobook is incredibly well done.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is quite a beautiful book. It takes place in the 90s during the beginning of the siege of Sarajevo. Definitely recommend.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is very interesting. The author incorporates items from indigenous Caribbean culture into a story about classism post slavery. Sort of. But it's also heavy fantasy.

This genre may not be my jam. Or I may just be in a mood. My mother says I read too many books whenever I say I thought one was boring. I may have taken this pic in the back of an uber.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Meh. I'm ready for this author to go back to writing about pirates.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Shakespeare in the park. I love summer.

Meh. Whatever. It's out of the secret TBR cupboard where books go to be ignored.

#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is very meta. I am definitely late to the party on this author. But I get it now and I will continue to read his backlist.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This super fun sequel is like the movie Red with an all female cast. I love it. I will read more of them.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is a decent follow up book. I have no idea if I would read the next in this series.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

#ARC #Netgalley

An epistolary novel? A mystery? Art? Italian history? How could I not read this?

#DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks

This author has really gotten into the historical fiction and I'm here for it. She takes real people, adds in some extras, and imagines a real life situation as it could have been. Maybe. This is that famous early photo of the train engine that went off the platform.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This is fun and sort of ridiculous and I kind of loved it.

#Aardvark @AardvarkBookClub

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This gave me Margo vibes. In case you also liked that one.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I might be leaning into the horror novels pretty hard. But they're fantasy adjacent so maybe I didn't even wander off too far. This is basically what I expected from this author except it's set in a castle that's under siege.

#BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

Perfect day for reading outside on the deck.

I really want this author to hurry up with the sequel to this. I loved it and I want more. Plus there are so many things I want to know.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

No idea what I was expecting from this but it's quite fun. From the dude that wrote Holes.

I love this author. Indigenous horror is a pretty niche sub-genre but this one is an auto-buy IMO. Anything she writes. Put it in my hands right freaking now. 😂

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I may have gotten carried away when all of the books started to appear. Like gifts for the brain.

#BookSpin #DoubleSpin #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I already read 2 of the #Aardvark books and my bestie pre-ordered a 3rd. Proof we all have excellent taste. Picked horror out of the remainder. Because Persephone retelling set in MX.

@AardvarkBookClub

This was very interesting. It goes through 500 years of history and points out things and ways we messed up the environment. It's very broad but he does a good job.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This author packs a punch in this tiny little book of short stories. Tbh I don't even remember what the middle one was about, but the others are sticking.
