#BookSpinBingo all set! I finished Nona the Ninth last night, so marked that square.

#botm was kind enough to add my birthday credit to October's picks after I forgot to use it in September. Sign Here is so popular that my box won't ship for a few more days.

I only read 5 books this month, but gave two 5 stars - Killers of a Certain Age and A Scandalous Kind of Duke . I decided A Scandalous Kind of Duke was my top favorite of the month. I just love Mia Vincy's writing and characters so much. #2022ReadingBracket

Here's my October #BookSpin! 😁🍁

I have a lot to catalog today! This is just the fiction side. #saturdaylibrarian

I'm giving the Aardvark Book Club a shot and now that it's available on iOS, I was able to set up my account and pick October's book. I went with The Marsh Queen. #aardvark

At work, wishing I was home reading.

I've been anxiously waiting for this book and it's here!! I'm starting it tonight.😍

Just finished this lovely book. Juno is an artist. Leo is a Duke. They've been in love with each other for ten years, but duty and independence get in the way. I love Vincy's writing and characters. Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

I won an early copy of Mia Vincy's next book. So I'm absolutely reading it now.😍

Loved it! Billie and her three fellow assassins are retiring. They've put in four decades of work for their organization. But on their retirement cruise they find themselves on the wrong end of an assassin. They work together to figure out why and fix this situation. Loved the main characters. Each had their own skills. Just a whole lot of fun. #botm

My August FairyLoot was finally delivered. The book is Babel! And it's gorgeous.

Starting my September #botm and already having fun with just the author's note.

I'm about halfway through this historical fiction novella. It takes place on the night Mary, Queen of Scots' private secretary, David Rizzio is assassinated.

Let's see if I can get a bingo this month. My card is all set. #BookSpinBingo

Monthly update for my #2022ReadingBracket. The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy was my favorite August book. It beats my July favorite, The Bodyguard. But it lost up against my May favorite, The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes.

Here's my September #BookSpin list. For some reason I had a really hard time picking a background in PicCollage, so decided to feature Periwinkle this month.

Here's what I'm cataloging this week for the library. Thank goodness I order about a month in advance and received these books early. The company we order the majority of our books from, Baker & Taylor, had a ransomware attack and is on week 2 of being down. It sucks not being able to order books.

I picked my September #botm. I decided on just one book and then immediately after remembered that it's my birthday month.😬 So I'm going to email them and see if I can get the free add-on next month.

I loved this book a lot. It had an enemies to lovers romance between a super tall grumpy, demigod warden and an undertaker who loves her family, great side characters, an interesting fantasy world, and humor. The fantasy worldbuilding is woven into the story. Just overall a lot of fun.

I worked yesterday, so my weekend started today. Tonight I'm starting this book.

Put up a new display. This time it is books and movies that are set on a spaceship.

It took me all day to decide what I was in the mood to read next. I guess I was in the mood for some Christmas.

Just finished and enjoyed very much. One of those books I didn't want to put down. This time Crouch centers on DNA and a possible doomed future. After reading this book, I'm left both disappointed and hopeful for the human species. It's a weird feeling.

My Saturday read is the new Blake Crouch.

I also have not posted my updated #2022ReadingBracket with July's favorite book. It was definitely The Bodyguard.

It's my 1st day of a four day weekend and I'm finally getting my August #BookSpinBingo card set up. August has been a little crazy busy for me.

Started two books. I'm reading an ARC of Grace Draven's next book. Absolutely loved the first two in this fantasy romance series. And then I'm listening to to I'm Glad My Mom Died. I cataloged it at work yesterday evening, read the first page and then immediately used an Audible credit to download it to my phone.

Took some time away from the conference today to walk down to the bookstore, Fact & Fiction. Cute bookstore. This is what I bought.

We order most of our books for the library from Baker & Taylor. I made sure to stop by their vendor booth at the conference today specifically to pick up their tote. They always have their mascot cats on them. I love this one a lot.

I've been up since 3am traveling to Montana for a library conference. I planned on reading this on the plane, but I also had a low grade migraine today, so no reading. But after eating and drinking a bunch of water, I'm feeling better and plan to read until I can't keep my eyes open. Which probably won't be long.

I was able to finish one more book in July. But unfortunately could not get that bingo for July's #BookSpinBingo.

I gave this a Pick with some reservations. I like Hazelwood's writing and all the science talk. The plot was fun! But the main characters felt too similar to the main characters in The Love Hypothesis. I hope the author branches out with her characters in her future books.

August #BookSpin is all ready!

Changing gears from science fiction romance to historical romance. I've very much been looking forward to this book. #currentlyreading #arc

I received my July Adult Fantasy FairyLoot. It's absolutely gorgeous. I like the cover a lot, but LOVE the foil embossed hardcover. Now I have to decide if I leave the cover on or off?

My ARC of Ocean's Echo didn't have the cover on it, so here's a close up of Peri's cute face instead. #currentlyreading

I liked this one a lot. A perfect mixture of humor and serious drama. Hannah is going through a lot of emotions from personal problems as she guards movie star, Jack Stapleton. She's tough and unique. I love how much Jack obviously adores everything about her. Fun tropes - fake dating and only one bed. Would definitely read this author again. #botm

#currentlyreading
This is my first Katherine Center. #botm

Finished this one late night. This is a 2nd chance romance with a suspense plot. Mira and Naveen find themselves kidnapped immediately after an unexpected reunion and have to work together to survive. The suspense part was really enjoyable. They have quite the adventure. This book takes place over a very short period of time, so the romance kind of feels like insta love. But they were very hot together. 4⭐️ Out 10/18/22

Alisha Rai's next book is a romantic suspense. I just started the ARC.

Added the newest trade paperback of the Ice Planet Barbarians to my collection. The 4th book in the series will also come out with a trade paperback edition in September. Hopefully they'll continue with more of the series.

I'm so happy to delve back into this world. Bouchet continues her Kingmaker Chronicles series after a little break with a pair of different characters. This book features Jocasta and Flynn. #currentlyreading

I'm sad to say Peri's tumor that we got removed from her leg and tested was cancerous. But her vet got another opinion from an oncologist and they don't think radiation is necessary. Removing was enough. I just have to watch for regrowth. It's been a stressful week. So we're in bed to read and relax.

In bed early, but probably not going to fall asleep right away. Brought to bed this graphic novel.

Put up a new book display at work. This time the theme is Worst Vacation Ever!

Peri's fear of fireworks had gotten worse each year, so we're bunkered down at home today. We've already heard some loud bangs today. And I put my #BookSpinBingo card together.

Saturday afternoon reading with a Heath Dilly Bar from DQ. Starting Her Majesty's Royal Coven.

TheAromaofBooks posted the July #BookSpin, #DoubleSpin, and #BookSpinBingo and didn't even have my list together!😬 I made my list and can now go see what numbers were pulled.

My July #botm were delivered today. Added the two books to my TBR cart.😁📚

Added my favorite June book to my #2022ReadingBracket, Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs. But it went up against and lost to my May favorite, The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian.
