The Door to December

Ack! Only a week until December! What is going on!? Also, this fall has been weirdly chaotic so I'm finding myself thinking that the holiday season is going to be more relaxing than the fall has been?? One can only hope! 😂 It's time to start thinking about your #BookSpin lists for December. I have some info on that & also on special points-earning possibilities for #WinterGames so please take a moment to read the info below!! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks 1. As always, I will be drawing the numbers & bingo board on the 2nd, so there is still plenty of time to score bingos or check off your November #BookSpin read!! PLEASE remember to tag me when you post your list & when you post your reviews!! I sadly do not have time to go through the BookSpin tag so if you don't tag me directly, I'll miss your post!! If I haven't COMMENTED on your post within a day or so of you posting it, please tag me again! ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 2. Remember, the Bingo part of BookSpin is COMPLETELY optional!! It's just for folks who want to read more than 1 or 2 books from their list. When you post your list, just let me know if you want to also be tagged for the Bingo part. No matter how many books you read from your list, you can't score more than 2 entries per month for the end-of-the-year giveaway. ⬇ (edited) 4y

TheAromaofBooks 3. Anyone & everyone is welcome to join!! All you have to do is make your list of 20 books & tag me when you do!! If you want more details or need a refresher on how this challenge works, I've created a master post with the information - https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1989556 - And of course I'm always available for questions!! ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 4. This month my little challenge is thrilled to be a part of the bigger challenge of #WinterGames !!! In October BookSpin was considered a readathon & you received points for how much time you spent reading the books from your list. However, that will be DIFFERENT for December!! The official BookSpin AND DoubleSpin titles will each be worth 15 points!! Then for those participating in BookSpinBingo, the board will score the same as all the other ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks (4, cont'd) bingo boards - 20 points per line & a bonus 100 points if you clear the board. So if you are planning to participate in WinterGames anyway, you may as well turn your December TBR into a BookSpinBingo board & score some extra points!!! ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks 5 & final - Thank you for listening to all my rambling this morning!!! I'm tagging everyone who posted a BookSpin list for November. If you want to skip December but would like to stay on the tag list, please let me know. I'm looking forward to a lovely month reading with all of you. Let's prove to 2020 that it didn't beat us by having a fabulous December full of warmth, reading, encouragement, gratitude, & good cheer!! See you on December 2!! 4y

TheSpineView December 😱😱😱 4y

mollyrotondo Thank you! I almost have my list together so I‘ll post later today! 4y

AsYouWish Yay!!! Super excited!!! Planning out my books, just waiting to hear back from some of my buddy reads to see which books we are picking for next month. 4y

Charityann Thanks for hosting this reading event! It has been a bright spot in this year.😊❤️ 4y

Bookwormjillk This can‘t be true. It‘s maybe October. 4y

Allylu I‘ve been working on my list! I had to rearrange my bookcases yesterday because of all the spaces from books I have read this year. It‘s all because of #BookSpinBingo! Thank you! 4y

rockpools I agree with both of these comments! 🌸🌻🌺 @Charityann @Bookwormjillk 4y

CoffeeNBooks Looking forward to joining in for #BookSpinBingo again! Thanks for the tag- and reminder- how is it almost December?! 4y

BayouGirl85 I have my list together and printed for my reading journal. 😜 4y

BarkingMadRead So exciting!! 4y

JenReadsAlot How fun to combine this with #wintergames 4y

Clwojick Woohoooo! December here we come! 4y

Cinfhen Sending love and good cheer your way❤️💚❤️💚I‘ll be back ONLY for #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin as I‘m slowly easing back into reading 4y

AmyG I just do Bookspin (not Bingo)....and I love it. I will post my Dec list later. Thank you again for doing this. ❤️ 4y

j9brown Merry Reader here, I'm gonna start making a board right now! I haven't participated in bookspin before but this looks fun, glad it's part of #wintergames! Thanks! 4y

OriginalCyn620 Yay! It‘s so awesome that you‘re combining with #wintergames! Bring it on! 🎄 4y

Sarahreadstoomuch I can‘t believe it‘s almost December!! But the tie in with #wintergames is very exciting!! 4y

PaperbackPirate I‘ll have to go see what #WinterGames is about, but either way I‘m in for #BookSpin! ☃️ 4y

Megabooks Bingo can‘t get here soon enough!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @PaperbackPirate - Check out the link on @Clwojick 's page if you're interested in #WinterGames - today is the last day to sign up!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Charityann - Thank you!! I literally have been making this challenge up as I go along, so I'm genuinely astounded at how many people like to play along with me! 😂 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - Right?! I genuinely don't know what happened to this fall! It went by in a snap! 4y

Eggs Thanks Sarah for a great reading year activity❣️ I‘ll be doing bingo-will make my list soon! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Allylu - Yay!! I'm so happy when I hear that this challenge is helping people clear their stacks!! I love all the various challenges around Litsy, but it's nice to have one that focuses on reading books we already have! 😂 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen @AmyG - I know the bingo isn't for everyone & I'm always glad to have folks along just for the original challenge!!! 4y

maich Can't wait to start😊😘 4y

MallenNC I need to get started on my list. I enjoy trying to get a Bingo every month. 4y

Lesanne I‘m back from my self-imposed exile so I‘d love to jump into bookspinning again! 4y

Butterfinger Thank you for all you do. 4y

Chrissyreadit 🙌🥳🎉😘 4y

Smarkies Looking forward to wrapping up the year with this! 4y

Suet624 I think I‘ll be skipping December but please keep me on the list. 4y

Deblovestoread Will start working on my list. Thanks, Sarah,! 4y

LiteraryinPA I‘m loving the bookspin and bingo parts of this! I‘m not going to do winter games but will definitely do December‘s bookspin bingo. Thanks! 4y

wisherwishinguponastar Thank you so much for doing this! You are amazing!!!! 4y

Soubhiville Thanks Sarah! I‘m thinking of doing a red and green spines list for fun in December. 😜 Also there‘s a package from me on its way to you. It‘s a holiday gift but feel free to open it whenever you‘d like to 💕. 4y

ChaoticMissAdventures Thank you! Excited to have something to focus on, since we will still be in lockdown here. Also how is it December? 4y

aperfectmjk This is super exciting!!!! I'm going to focus on getting my board finalized this week. So much pressure to choose the right titles. I want a cover-all so badly. I have yet to make it happen. 4y

claudiuo I'm so very much behind with my reading, I can't believe there's only one week left in November. But I will definitely get my list ready for December, I really need #BookSpin to keep me sane. 4y

8little_paws Oh I'm def on board for December! I like this challenge--it gives you a framework for the month with lots of flexibility to still read on a whim! 4y

Emilymdxn @moll here‘s the book spin bingo I told you about! This is the list of 20 books one :) 4y

i.besteph Wow we‘re already at December?!? What even? Time sure flies by. I joined you all in July and I‘m loving it!😍 🤯🥳🥳 (edited) 4y

wordslinger42 I'm going to sit December out! But I've loved participating in the challenge this year and am so thankful to you for organizing it all! 😊 4y

Hooked_on_books I‘m not part of winter games, but definitely in for bookspinbingo for December! 4y

llwheeler I'm keeping my same list, just replacing the one I read in Nov. Looking forward to Dec. Thanks for all your work! 4y

squirrelbrain Aargh December already!? Looking forward to #bookspin though! 4y

Sargar114 Thanks Sarah! What a wonderful reading year I‘ve had because of this!!! 4y

melissajayne Doing a Christmas themed one for December. I‘m doing #wintergames (edited) 4y

BarbaraBB Thank you for all! Looking forward to December! 4y

BookmarkTavern Happy dance! I‘m always so excited to put these together! 4y

Argon Yay, time to get my list together! 😄 4y

MemoirsForMe You ROCK Sarah! 🤗🙌🏻❤️#BookSpinBingo has been the highlight of this crazy year. 4y

wanderinglynn I‘m in! November reading-wise has been a flop for me because of NaNo. So here‘s to December! 🎉 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Butterfinger - Thank you!! I genuinely love hosting this little challenge!!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Suet624 - Sounds good!! I will tag you with the January reminder. I can't believe the next BookSpin will be in 2021!!!!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @booksellerofyourdiscontent - Thank you so much!!! I really do enjoy it. Unfortunately it's added more books to my TBR rather than my original intention of reducing it... everyone's reviews are so tempting! 😂 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Soubhiville - Oh my gosh, I'm so excited!!! My family makes fun of me because I get unreasonably excited about presents. 😂 So thoughtful of you - thank you!!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @ChaoticMissAdventure - I genuinely don't know how it's almost December. This year has been both extremely long and extremely fast! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @aperfectmjk - I haven't been able to completely my entire board yet, either! November will be very, very close but I don't think I'm going to quite make it. I have hopes for December because I'm focusing entirely on fluff for the whole month!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @8little_paws - It took me a few tries to find a way to let the people who want to only do the original challenge (1 or 2 books) still do that but also provide a way for everyone else to read more if they want. I love the way bingo lets everyone read what works for them - some people focus on just getting a bingo, others read all over the place, a few people black out their board every month!! It feels like the bingo is the sweet spot!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @wordslinger42 - No worries!! I'll be sure to tag you with the January reminder. December can get a little crazy on Litsy 😂 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Sargar114 - I'm so glad that it's helping you get through your TBR!! I love hosting it!! 😁 4y

Andrew65 Finished one book from my list for November, need to post my review. Currently reading my second one. 4y

TheAromaofBooks @UwannaPublishme - Thank you, Donna!! I've been completely bamboozled by how many people have decided to join me on this little challenge! 😂 But I totally love seeing how it's helping people check books of their TBRs (and how it adds books to mine!! 😆) 4y

TheAromaofBooks @wanderinglynn - It sounds like NaNo was a success, so I suppose it was worth the sacrifice, but I'm glad to have you back along for another round of BookSpin madness!! 😁 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - Sounds good!! I know this has been a crazy month for you!! 4y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I might sit out this one seeing as my Bookly projection for the current huge brick I‘m reading puts me at January 1st as the finish date. 😅 But I‘ll definitely be back for the first Bookspin of 2021!! ❤️🤘😆🤘❤️ 4y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks A crazy 8 months! Schools in U.K. still fully open and have been throughout. 4y

rabbitprincess I am in for bookspin and bingo! 😊 4y

TheAromaofBooks @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm - Sounds good!!! I will put you on the list for January!! 4y

Librarybelle Hooray! Must plan my strategy for December! 4y

BookwormAHN Time to work on my list 😸 4y

Elizabeth2 Thanks for the tag! 4y

Clare-Dragonfly Wow—how is it that time already?! OK, that was a rhetorical question, but here‘s a real one: how on earth do you keep track of all this??? 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly - haha well I mostly just have to track if someone reads their books. I don't worry about what book it was or what books were on their list or anything crazy like that. I have a notebook now for all things Litsy/reading related, so as people post their lists, I write down their names & highlight them if they want tagged for Bingo. Then when they post their reviews, I put a check by their names! Super low tech! 😂 4y

Ash.on.the.line Thanks for the tag! I‘ll be making my list soon! Gonna look a lot like November because like you said the fall has been chaotic 😂 4y

Clare-Dragonfly I like that you have a notebook to keep track! That‘s how I would do it too. I guess you aren‘t checking up on us to make sure the book we review really goes with the number you pulled, huh? 😂 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly - Not even kind of haha I'm leaving it up to the honor system/there really isn't that much to win from this so even if people are cheating I'm not really fussed 😂 I just make sure no one gets more than two checks per month & honestly if you've read two books, that's good enough for me!! 4y

ravenlee It can‘t be - there‘s no way it‘s almost December! I guess I‘ll be working on my stack late this weekend. (Also, this is doubly concerning for me because my husband‘s birthday is 1 Dec and I‘m...not prepared. Good thing he never wants anything.) 4y

bekakins Yayyyy!!!!! 4y

LauraRenae I‘m excited that I should actually get a bingo for November 👏🏻 I can‘t wait to start on my December list! 4y

Bookworm54 I have watched loads of people playing these over the months :) since I am playing winter games I might give this a try (I felt a bit over faced with the huge lists I saw, but now I have read your master post it sounds so doable!!!) 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Bookworm54 - Yay! I hope you will join. I try to keep this challenge flexible so that people can read as little as one book and still be successful, or go crazy and read all 25!! It's whatever works best for you - I just like to see people reading!! 😁 Let me know if you have any questions & be sure to tag me if you decide to post a list!! 4y

SaturnDoo Although I missed a few months I'm ready and waiting to be back in on the fun. ❤💜❤ 4y

TheAromaofBooks @SaturnDoo - Glad to have you back!!! 4y

Grrlbrarian I‘m definitely in! 😊 4y

Tineke Ya know, I might start a bingo-board for films too, if you don't mind @TheAromaofBooks . And then I'll just follow the numbers you pick for the books. 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Tineke - That's totally fine!! The only thing I “track“ is when people tag me to say they've read their official BookSpin/DoubleSpin, because that's the only information I need for the giveaway. Everything else is just for fun & I love seeing people's progress. So feel free to make as many boards as you want for all sorts of categories & have fun with it!! 4y

Gezemice Thank you so much! I missed some time here but please keep me on the list! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Gezemice - Will do!! This is definitely a challenge where you can (and many people do!!) float in and out as it works best for you!! 4y
