The Matzah Ball is my December #BookSpin and Reading Lolita in Tehran is my #DoubleSpin - both of which I started in the last couple days. It‘s fate! Or something.

Here's my April #Bookspin and #Doublespin. I'm sure I will enjoy the Tess Gerritsen book. Snel Geld (Easy money) is a financial thriller. I haven't read that genre before, but sure have experienced it at times - at the end of the month..😅 Here's to a new reading month!

Was pretty happy with my February results. Knocked quite a bit off my tbr. Practically a new #bookspinbingo #bookspin #doublespin list for March ahaha!

Annie1215 Isn‘t that a great feeling?! I‘m having a hard time filing on my blank spots from February, the sign of a good month! 4y

My February #bookspin. I think most of these are for challenges. I ended up doing more than I intended. Oops.

I just finished reading my last #bookspin for the year. Thank you @TheAromaofBooks for a fun challenge this year! I did every month except January (so you get a cute picture of my pup Gus instead) & audiobook #doublespin starting in March. I got a good chunk of books off my TBR. Looking forward to next year!

Mccall0113 Love your pup! 4y
TheAromaofBooks Oh my gosh I love this!!! Thank you for sharing & I'm so glad that this little challenge is helping to whittle away at the TBR!!! 4y

When it‘s snowing outside and it‘s Sunday...I have more time to play with my #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo list and display. I enjoyed using free spaces last month, but there were too many good e-book sales so I have too much on my tbr now. If I get through a good chunk Circe this last week, I‘ll switch that one out or free space it. I have high hopes for November since it‘s my bday month! #treatyoself

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Good luck!!! 4y

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is THREE!! 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!!!

Just a few quick housekeeping items that I would really appreciate if you would take a moment to read -

⬇ ⬇ ⬇

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. ⬇ 4y
TheAromaofBooks 2. 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!!
4y
TheAromaofBooks 3. Remember, this is a no-pressure challenge!! You can read one or both of these books. You can bail on them. You can read them in October & then tag me & tell me they were from July. Whatever works!! This is supposed to be fun not stressful!! ⬇ 4y
See All 56 Comments
TheAromaofBooks 4 & final - 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!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, and happy reading!!!

After I finish tagging everyone, I will post the official bingo card!! I'm so excited!!!

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira 💡 I finally get what #BookSpin is about. I‘m fairly new to Litsy ☺️ Do you mostly pull from your Litsy or Goodread or other lists? 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Josee.a.lu.lit.et.lira - Everyone makes their own list of 20 books for #BookSpin & they can be any books you've been meaning to read!! Then you just read the picked numbers from your list (so this month you would read books 3 and/or 15). If you decide to join, just make a list & tag me when you do!! I do this challenge every month. 4y
FantasyChick The Iron King and Sword of Destiny 👊👊 Both on my series challenge this year! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @silentrequiem - Sorry you didn't get tagged!! I add people to this tag list as they post their lists, so I must have missed your list post!!! (My tag list changes every month since not everyone wants to participate every month, so I don't put people on my list unless they post their 20 books so that way I know for sure they want to be involved for that month 😊) (Also Litsy has been forgetting to let me know people tag me sometimes! 😬) 4y
Bklover Thank you!!!👏👏❤️❤️😘 4y

Here is my tentative list for #bookspin #bookspinbingo finally. I would REALLY like to catch up on some reading challenges in July, including #summerfun and popsugar summer reading challenge because apparently I can‘t stop from signing up for more challenges. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Here‘s to plowing through all 25 (and hopefully more??) to get back on track!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I'm not sure I can get through all 25 this month, but I'm really hoping to score a couple of bingos!! 4y

Enjoyed #bookspin so much last month, gonna give it another go. I love the idea of #bookspinbingo, but since I only participated last month figured I‘d just pick 25 books.

Thought I‘d give this a spin...eh see what I did there???

Kept seeing the tag #bookspin and would get overwhelmed thinking..there is no way I could read twenty books!!! Then I went to @TheAromaofBooks page and found out what it was and loved the idea! I have enough ever growing tbr list that I can‘t get through thanks to BOTM. And I get so much anxiety trying to pick the next book to read. So this breaks through both of those!

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Glad to have you along!! Yes, most months I only draw two numbers, and some people only choose to read one of those, so no pressure!! And as a side note, bails “count“ as well - the goal is to get books off the TBR and sometimes that means cutting it loose!! Anyway, just let me know if you have any questions & I'll be sure to tag you on the 2nd!! 5y
Sargar114 Awesome! Thanks for running this @TheAromaofBooks 5y
TheAromaofBooks It's such a fun challenge to host because I get to see everyone's lists!!! 5y

Instead of a #spinster #Quotsy I‘m sharing an article. I wish I could find the tweets about spinsters and thornbacks - I changed my name to reflect that discussion. I think some might appreciate this article, though. https://www.indy100.com/article/victorian-women-spinster-thornack-dr-bib-nichols...

#booksanding set during the 60s about a summer road trip. You will get the beach boys! This was long listed for the first ever #orangeprize and this is a fun slim book. Coming to terms with how you thought your life would be when the world has changed around you and you now have different opportunities. Can you change to take advantage of them? A nice palate cleanser of a book and I'm glad I read it at last.
