12 posts | 2 read
It's a mystery every month from popular A to Z Mysteries author Ron Roy! With the younger siblings of the A to Z Mysteries kids! July is for Jitters... In the seventh book of the Calendar Mysteries - an early chapter book mystery series - the mayor is having a special Fourth of July contest; the person whose pet has the best Independence Day costume gets to be mayor for a day! Bradly, Brian, Nate, and Lucy transform Polly the pony into Thomas Jefferson and Pal the dog into the Declaration of Independence. But when the pet parade rolls around, the animals are nowhere to be found! Maybe they have stage fright. Can the kids find their dressed-up pets and calm them down betfore the Fourth of July fun begins? Parents, teachers, and librarians agree that these highly collectible chapter books are pefect for emerging readers and any kid who loves mysteries!

Super excited that both the #bookspin and #doublespin selections are books for #readingtheamericas2023. Plus, I‘ll finally have to read Carl Hiaasen instead of just talking about reading his work. 😂

GinaKButler So pretty! 1y
DGRachel @GinaKButler Thanks! It took forever to do. 🤣🤣 1y

Changing up my #bookspin list for July to include a handful of old NetGalley titles (2020/2021 😳) and a handful of titles for #readingtheamericas2023 to increase the diversity of “country of origin” on my reading tracker, and some of the nominees for Bloody Scotland‘s Best Debut Novel prize. #doublespin #bookspinbingo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 1y

Feeling completely mind-blown that we are only ONE WEEK away from JULY! 😲 Seriously, we HAVE to be in some kind of weird time warp!!!!

ANYWAY that means that it is (unbelievably!) time to start thinking about July #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo lists!!! Let me know what you are thinking about reading, and if you'd like to be added or removed from the tag list. I'll be back on July 2 with the new numbers!!!

repost @thearomaofbooks

bnp @TheAromaofBooks I'll be using this again to help me decide what to read. 1y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Thank you for the repost!! 1y
TheAromaofBooks @bnp - Glad to have you along!! 1y

CatLass007 Will someone please enlighten me about #bookspin #doublespin and #bookspinbingo ? I might be interested in participating if I know what these events are. 1y
TheAromaofBooks @CatLass007 - Hey there!! Here is the link with all the info!! https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - if you want to join, just make your list and tag me when you do. Let me know if you have any questions!!! 😁 1y
CatLass007 @TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the info. 1y
CatLass007 @TheAromaofBooks I have to tell you that I really like your handle. I‘m not sure this will work for me. I have a long Audible TBR, just like everyone. But I have most of them in order already. I have a separate Audible To Be Bought list and it‘s also pretty much in order. I‘m trying to deaccession my physical library because it‘s just too massive for my little house. I have a storage building behind my house that‘s almost completely full of books. (edited) 1y
TheAromaofBooks @CatLass007 - I know that feeling of books everywhere!! And I have multiple TBRs as well with books I'd like to get a hold of someday!! If this challenge doesn't work for you, no worries!! But you're also quite welcome to sort of mold it to work for your situation - feel free to browse through the #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo tags to see some other lists, lots of people do categories or shelves instead of specific titles. 1y
CatLass007 @TheAromaofBooks I definitely appreciate the info and I will keep my eyes open. 1y
Whollybologna I‘m frustrated that I hit a slump in my ready this month but I‘ll be back next month! Working on my list now! ❤️ 1y
rachelk I‘m still in! I‘ve only completed one of book spin picks since rejoining in April but I‘m tracking the books here and giving myself until the end of the year. 1y

Making the most of my day off by setting up pages for my July reading journal. July #Bookspin & #Doublespin list is set. Some slight modifications to the pre-existing list. Now to spend some time with Constance Kopp and my June double spin title. 💜

Um... how is it July NEXT WEEK?! I'm not ready for life to go this fast!!! June has been dashing along - we've had some lovely weather here & now that I'm FINALLY (mostly) on summer break, I'm trying to catch up on loads of chores around the house that always go to the back burner during greenhouse season! My other job is at an orchard & it looks like a bumper crop of peaches this year (for the first time in a few years) so I'll have a short ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) break this summer. Today, though, I get to paint the bathroom! The fun times just never end! 😂

Anyway, if you would like to play along for #BookSpin/#DoubleSpin/#BookSpinBingo for July, it's time to start thinking about your lists!! (And don't worry - still plenty of time to finish up June books. I've checked off 16 squares & still no bingo!) Below is just an outline of the basic challenge/reminder of the “rules“ (hint: they're ⬇
3y
Allylu I better get busy on my list! 💕📚📚 3y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) SUPER FLEXIBLE), etc. As always, please just ask me if you have any questions. Please remember that I create a NEW TAG LIST EVERY MONTH so if you want to join for July, even if you aren't making a new list, please either comment below or tag me when you post your list so you will get tagged on the 2nd. Can't wait to see everyone's lists!!!

Below: Basics/Housekeeping/Rambling ⬇

TheAromaofBooks 1. The rules for #BookSpin & #BookSpinBingo can be found at my masterpost that I created here - https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1989556 - but the basics are that if you want to play, make a list of 20 books you've been meaning to read & tag me when you post it!!
2. You do NOT have to participate in the Bingo part of the challenge if that isn't your thing!! You can read just the BookSpin or just the DoubleSpin or both, or however many books work ⬇
3y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) for you. Basically, choose the reading level that fits your life!! And feel free to change it from month to month!!

3. A NOTE ABOUT HOW I TAG PEOPLE: I have a rotating tag list, not a permanent one. So I'm tagging all of June's participants today, but today I am starting a NEW tag list. This means that if you would like to be tagged for July, either post your list (PLEASE tag me as I sadly do not have time to go through the hashtag!!) ⬇
3y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) OR let me know on this post that you still want tagged. I know some people don't make a new list every month, so please just let me know that you'd still like to be tagged. I know it's a little confusing, but it's my way of making sure I'm not tagging people who no longer wish to participate. Basically, you have to renew your #BookSpin subscription every month! 😂 ⬇ 3y
TheAromaofBooks 4. If you want to take a month off but be tagged with the August reminder post, that's fine, too: just let me know & I'll make it happen!!

5. When you post your list, please let me know if you also want to be tagged in the #BookSpinBingo post specifically.

6. Just a reminder that the rules here are pretty loose. If you have a huge/challenging book, feel free to let it take up more than one square (I gave Moby-Dick five slots back in November!)⬇
3y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Some people struggle with having a super specific list & prefer to go with categories (i.e. library book, NetGalley, mystery, etc), which is also fine!! I have a participant who wants to makes sure she reads one physical book & one audiobook, so she makes a list of each & reads the #BookSpin number from the first list & #DoubleSpin from the second. Make this challenge work for you!! ⬇ 3y
TheAromaofBooks 7. There is still plenty of time to get some books checked off your June lists, too!! And remember, if you didn‘t finish your “official” BS/DS books this month, you are welcome to finish them at a later date & still get credits for the giveaway – when you review the book, just let me know that it‘s from an earlier month. ⬇ 3y
TheAromaofBooks 8. If you read your book(s) but just haven‘t gotten around to the reviews, you can still get credit – just comment on this post & let me know. I know the reviewing aspect is where some people get hung up, but I care more about the fact that you actually read it, not that you reviewed it!! ⬇ 3y
TheAromaofBooks 9 (& final, geezy). Thank you all SO MUCH for your enthusiasm & for reading my rambly posts & for taking this challenge & making it your own. I LOVE seeing all the different ways people are making this challenge work for them!! Whether you use it to check off one book a month or 25, it's always fun to see at least a tiny dent in the never-ending TBR!! You all are THE BEST & I can't wait to see your lists for July!!! 3y
JackOBotts The best time of the month! 🤗🙌🏼 3y
Librarybelle Yay!! 3y
jessinikkip Hello, I'm not 100% sure how I would do the challenge as I do terrible with official TBRs, but Id love being tagged in posts for July, if its not trouble? 3y
Eggs Thanks Sarah ❤️ 3y
Lcsmcat I‘m in for June! I‘ll be posting my list next week while I‘m on vacation. 😀 3y
aa_guer2021 I am definitely continuing forward in July. I didn‘t get that many checked off, but I made a dent and approached reading with much more enthusiasm and energy since starting! 🥰 3y
Bookwormjillk I‘m in! 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick You know I'm in! Now I just have finalize the list. 3y
DivineDiana I experienced the same situation as @aa_guer2021 Will try again! 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @jessinikkip I just started this this year, & surprisingly it‘s worked for me. I just pick my list of books from ones I‘ve been meaning to read forever (usually my own personal books that usually get back burnered for library books, etc) and then whichever 2 get picked I try to push them to the top & finally read them. So I feel accomplished if I actually read them, & nothing lost if I don‘t, but a little more motivation to actually read them. 3y
MittenGirlPeach Nearly July!!!! Wow. I‘m in, as always. Now for the list! 3y
LibrarianRyan yeahhhh 3y
Cinfhen Wait, what?!?!? I can‘t believe it‘s nearly July!!! I‘m in 🥳 3y

Megabooks Count me in again!!! Is this the one year anniversary of the bingo game?? I can‘t remember 🤔 3y
Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures Can‘t wait for July‘s bingo! 3y
bookandbedandtea I am genuinely surprised that July starts next week! It's not that I don't know the date, after all, end of quarter at work is also next week, but it still feels like a surprise. 🙃 At least I have my list halfway done... I'll step it up! 3y
imyril I‘m tapping out for July as I have a lot of ARC commitments this month and a big bookspin backlog 😂 I hope to be back aboard the good ship bookspin in August 😊 3y
claudiuo July already? It can't be! Really, that means half of this year is already mostly gone... Wow!
As for spin and bingo, I'm in for both. It will be a while before I can publish my list, still trying to finish my second bookspin and maybe get one bingo. Soon, I hope.
Thanks again for doing this, with all the stuff you have to do around the house!

RaeLovesToRead Oh wow, I've only finished 1 book this month so far. Luckily it was my #bookspin, but still... 😂😂 3y
RaeLovesToRead I'm totally in for July though!!! 3y

Deblovestoread I‘m in for it all! Even have my list mostly together. Will post soon. Thanks Sarah! 3y
NikkiM5 I‘m in for sure ❤️ 3y
TheAromaofBooks @jessinikkip - No worries!!! The original challenge was created with the idea of getting one book off your backlog TBR, so one option is to make a list of 20 books you've been meaning to read, and then just read the BookSpin number. You can also use categories instead of specific titles. I definitely recommend scrolling the #BookSpin tag list to see some of the creative ways people make the challenge work for them!! 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa - Exactly!! A lot of people love the Bingo part of the challenge which is great, but my original idea was exactly what you're doing!! Just trying to get a couple of those pesky long-term TBR books off the list!! @jessinikkip 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Megabooks - It totally is!!!! I had kind of forgotten there was a time when BookSpinBingo didn't exist! 😂 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Hestapleton @CBee @imyril - Would you all like to be on the August reminder tag list? I totally understand taking some time off!! 😁 3y

jessinikkip @TheAromaofBooks I definitely will participate and I'll look through the tag. @Riveted_Reader_Melissa thats a good idea, to not stress so much. I have a handful of NetGalley books and library books so it'll be a good month to give it a try 3y
Hooked_on_books I‘m slowly starting to stack up books for my July bingo board. But I definitely won‘t have them all figured out until next week! 🙃 3y
