TheAromaofBooks's blurb on Spinner

Here it is, gang, the moment you have all been waiting for!! Our lucky numbers is TWENTY!!!!

I am SO THRILLER that 124 people posted lists this month!! How fun is that?! I LOVE seeing everyone's lists and can't wait to read your reviews! This challenge has been completely detrimental to my own TBR 😂

Just a few housekeeping items, so if you could please indulge me by reading my absurdly long post (I'm a rambler, what I can I say) -

⬇

TheAromaofBooks 1. I am hoping to have a giveaway at the end of the year. Entries are reviews of #BookSpin books, but I will only know about them if you tag me, so please tag me whenever you read & review your book for the month. DNFs count! The goal for #BookSpin is to get a book off your TBR, so if you decide not to finish it, it's still off the list, so tag me & tell me why you bailed.
⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks 2. Several people expressed interest in reading two books from their list this month. I know that's not for everyone & I don't want anyone to feel pressured to read two books, but the next post will be the #DoubleSpin number. If you want to read a second book, go for it! If you tag me with your #DoubleSpin review, that will also count for an entry for the giveaway.
⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks 3 (and final) I am tagging everyone who posted a list, so if you posted a list & you do not get tagged here, please let me know! It means I either accidentally missed your original #BookSpin post OR I wrote down your username wrong. Either way, I'm really sorry. Everyone is welcome to join this challenge, so if I missed you it was entirely by mistake - just let me know!! (edited) 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Lesanne - This is a super chill challenge to encourage people to read a book from the backlog!! All you have to do is post a list of 20 books sometime in the last week of the month, then on the 2nd of each month I draw two random numbers & you read one or both of those books from your list! You are still welcome to join this month - feel free to just count off 20 books on a random shelf or whatever!! I'll add you to the tag list for April!! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @BookJunkie57 - Sooo sorry I missed you!! I added you to the list and I'll be on the lookout for your review!! 5y

ShananigansReads @TheAromaofBooks no worries. It‘s a big task and you‘re doing a great job. 5y

bookandbedandtea I see above that you tried to tag me but you left out the first "and" in my name. The list of people who are playing has gotten huge (you obviously had a wonderful idea!) so keeping track of everyone's names must be a challenge. Thanks for doing this! I'm excited for my read this month:

With Malice

TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea - So the funniest part about this is that when I was typing it in I thought to myself, “I really thought this username had two 'ands' but I only wrote down one so here we are!“ 😂 Losing my mind as usual! Anyway, thanks for your understanding!! It is a smidge crazy but luckily not a lot on the line if I mess things up haha 5y

melissajayne I got

TheAromaofBooks @LeticiaToraci - that's so funny!! I'll look forward to hearing what you think. I haven't read it yet since my guess is that her writing is a bit on the darker side for me, but I've heard good things about it! 5y
