TheAromaofBooks's blurb on Spinning Out

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is TWELVE!! Our official #DoubleSpin number is FIFTEEN!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone's lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card!!!

My tagging/tracking system has changed this year, so if you didn't get tagged PLEASE let me know so I can add you to the (semi) permanent ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) tag list! I will post “FINISHED“ when I post the last batch of tags so you can tell if you have been missed!!

Below are a few housekeeping items that I would really appreciate if you took a few moments to read. As always, my new masterpost about both #BookSpin & #BookSpinBingo can be found on my blog - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge - & this link is always available in my profile as well. ⬇

TheAromaofBooks 1. Remember, this is a no-pressure challenge!! You can read one or both of these books. You can bail on them. You can bail on the whole challenge and try again next month. Whatever works!! This is supposed to be fun not stressful!! ⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks 2. I do have a giveaway at the end of the year. Every BookSpin or DoubleSpin book completed counts as an entry!! In the past, I have tracked these myself, but for 2022 YOU are in charge of tracking your own entries!! To help with this process, I have created a Google Form that can be found here - https://forms.gle/X57ePKzuHpsqLjE5A - You can use this Form two different ways: You can update it throughout the year OR you can wait and fill in ⬇ 2y

See All 60 Comments

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) all the information at the end of the year. If you want to be entered in the giveaway you MUST use this form. However, if you do NOT want to be entered in the giveaway but still want to use the form for organizational purposes, I have set it up so that the personal info/address blank is OPTIONAL - so you can use the form without submitting your name/address. If you do not care about the giveaway you do NOT have to use this form at all ⬇ 2y

TheAromaofBooks cont'd) There is more information about how the form works when you click on the link and go to the form because I LOVE overexplaining things!!! You are also ALWAYS welcome to ask me questions!!

4. Even though I don't HAVE to see your reviews I love reading them!! So please feel free to tag me in any and all BookSpin reivews!!

5. For the giveaway, DNFs do count!! The goal for #BookSpin is to get a book off your TBR, so if you decide not to ⬇
2y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) finish it, it's still off the TBR and still counts as a completion in my book!!

6. If you do not finish your #BookSpin/#DoubleSpin book this month it is STILL ELIGIBLE for a giveaway entry as long as you complete it sometime in 2022!! There is space in the form for you both to put down what book you are SUPPOSED to read & then to check off which books you DID read! ⬇
2y

TheAromaofBooks 7. Everyone is welcome to join this challenge!! If you wanted tagged & I missed you, it was completely inadvertent!! Please just let me know that you want to be added to the tag list. You can also let me know if you want to be removed - no hard feelings!! Feel free to jump in & out of this challenge as needed. Also, obviously, getting tagged doesn't mean you HAVE to actually participate!!

⬇

TheAromaofBooks 8 & final (FINALLY) - While I don't have time to reply to all of the comments to this post, I do read every one and love seeing which books got picked for you!! I do respond to any direct questions or confusion, so please feel free to ask away if something doesn't make sense or you need some clarifications. Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, and happy reading!!! 2y

FINISHED - if you haven't been tagged and want to be, let me know!!! 2y

vlwelser I got 2 ARCs which I am really excited to read anyway. 2 of my favorite authors.... Susan Elia MacNeal and BA Paris 2y

FelinesAndFelonies 12. Shoulder Season 15. The Dinner List 2y

rockpools Fab - thanks Sarah! I‘ve got Of Saints and Miracles and Longevity Park (or something else set in China) 2y

BarkingMadRead Haunting of Hill House and the Invisible Library 2y

Chelsea.Poole Thank you! 2y

Lcsmcat Being Mortal, and Beheld 2y

BkClubCare Thank you 😊 Tomorrow Will Be Different is my #12 (and #15 is an open slot for a whim read!) 2y

Bklover Thank you!!❤️ 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Woohoo! I‘ve already finished my #bookspin! 😂

Mooncakes

Soubhiville Yay! Thanks! I‘ll be reading I Can‘t Think Straight (BS) and This Tender Land (DS, courtesy of @AmyG 😁) 2y

AllDebooks Yay, I've got 2 of my wanted tbr this draw, The meaning of birds by Simon Barnes and

Buzz: The Nature and Necessity of Bees

julieclair How fun! Both of mine are Buddy Reads this month. Little Souls for #OverBookedClub and Excellent Women for #PemberLittens. 2y

claudiuo Indeed the moment I‘ve been waiting for! Mine are both actual books on my TBR shelf (shelves, really) Electric Forest and second one I‘ll pick later. Thank you so much! 2y

Bookzombie Thank you so much for doing this challenge. I look forward to the 2nd of each month. 😁 My Bookspin is Tell Me How This Ends Well and my Doublespin is Darkness Peering. 2y

bookandbedandtea Woohoo! The 2nd is my favorite day of the month! Thanks for keeping this going, Sarah. 💜 2y

kellyann28 Thank you Sarah! My bookspin is The Women of Troy and double bookspin is Dreams Lie Beneath! 2y

Kangaj1 Thank you! My bookspin is from Netgalley: Love in the Time of Serial Killers, and my doublespin is Dead Scared by Sharon Bolton. 2y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The Angel's Game and All Systems Red. This is good. Both fulfill challenges. I really like Zafon's writing & wanted to read his books this year, so the longer Angel's Game will be counterbalanced by the much shorter All Systems Red. I can do this! 2y

ChaoticMissAdventures Two books I don't own, so get to head to the library! Genesis Begins Again - Williams and the ever popular

The Sparrow: A Novel

CBee A History of Wild Places and Lessons in Chemistry 😊😊😊 2y

BarbaraJean Sometimes I play this game after I‘ve posted my list, where I pick out which numbers I most/least want to be chosen. Yesterday I decided I wasn‘t that into # 12. 😂🤣 It was a gift from a good friend YEARS ago—like early 2000s—and I put it on the list because of longevity and because it‘s shorter. DoubleSpin is Ancillary Justice, which I REALLY want to read, but have found hard to get into before—might just be a mood thing. I‘ll give both a shot!

Nobody's Girl: A Novel

Maria514626 Thank you! I‘m excited for my first #bookspin this year. (And it whittles down my ARC pile!) My #doublespin is Blood, Sweat and Tea.

Three-Martini Afternoons at the Ritz: The Rebellion of Sylvia Plath & Anne Sexton

(edited) 2y

willaful I'm reading Ancillary Justice right now, after having tried it before at least twice. I think I may be enough in that I'm past the hurdle, though I do find the flashback sections confusing. 2y

AmyG Yay! I will be reading

Crying in H Mart: A Memoir

AmyG Enjoy @Soubhiville ….I loved This Tender Land. 2y

CaitZ Mine are Small Game (arc) and Killer Green Tomatoes 2y

KristiAhlers Yay! 2y

robinb The Lager Queen of Minnesota and An Irish Hostage! 🎉 Thanks, Sarah! (edited) 2y

CarolynM Thanks Sarah. I‘m very pleased with 2 this month - Mrs Tim of the Regiment and Nancy Business 2y

BookKenz Hello! I wanted to let you know that I changed my username from @Kenziejo to @BookKenz . I didn't want to miss the tag list. Sorry to be a pain! 🙈 Thanks for hosting this every month! 2y

TheAromaofBooks @BookKenz - Thank you so much for letting me know!! I updated your name on the tag list. No trouble at all, I'm just happy you remembered to tell me!! 😁 2y

melzen Could you take me out from the challenge. I need to take time off reading 📖 2y

TheAromaofBooks @melmes - Absolutely!! Just let me know if you want to join up again. And if you finish any of your BookSpin or DoubleSpin books anytime this year, you're still eligible for the giveaway!! ❤ 2y
