MargaretPinardAuthor So pretty! 4y

TheAromaofBooks @MargaretPinardAuthor - Thank you!! I was pretty stoked when I found the constellation washi tape in my stash! 😂 4y

Clwojick Way to go! You crushed it. And I love the bullet journal spread. ♥️🌟 4y

ChasingOm I love the Washi! 4y

MargaretPinardAuthor Oh, I didn‘t even notice the tape until you mentioned it! I meant the neat and orderly spacing and writing 😊something you have without external purchasing! 💝 4y

Have you ever wished you could have a dream be a book? If yes, Pinkwater may be for you! His writing is absolute nonsense that rambles around a loose plot yet somehow never fails to make me laugh. This book may also appeal to you if you: love avocados, have ever known a mad scientist, think high school is biggest waste of time ever, ever used to sneak out of the house, or wish you had a 24hr movie theater in your neighborhood.

This is book 17 ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) for May's #BookSpinBonanza and also my first book read for the #ReadYourSign challenge - this one was published the year I was born, 1982. @Clwojick @meaw_catlady 5y

Clwojick This sounds great!! Hahah 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick - Pinkwater is not for everyone, but if he is for you, then you'll love him haha 5y

TheAromaofBooks @mabell - woohoo!! 1982 sisters!!! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @ReadingRachel - especially entertaining when you find out that one of the Snarkout Boys is a girl, and the avocado doesn't kill anyone 😂 5y

Finally got together my list for #ReadYourSign!! I am going for 10 books. Three of these are technically on my #BookSpinBonanza list so I "might" get to them before the end of the month and need to replace them...but I doubt it ?

Well here is my #BookSpinBonanza list (subject to change, naturally!) - for this challenge I am mostly sticking to rereads, with a few "assigned" books that I want to read in May. A lot of children's books - most of these I haven't read in over 10 years, so I am looking forward to a lot of nostalgia in May!! As an added challenge, the highlighted titles have at least one sequel (some have more) that I want to read when I read that book - so we ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) will see how far I can get!!

As an added note, just a reminder that you do NOT have to even try to read all 20 books in order to participate in May's #BookSpin!! I'll be drawing the first two numbers separately as always. The full Bonanza challenge is even more optional than regular #BookSpin - just for those who are looking for something a little more crazy. No pressure - everyone is welcome to try for as many books as they want!! 5y

BGam Awesome!! 5y

Lesanne I‘m just curious to see how far I can actually get. (Fairly certain it won‘t be all 20!) 5y

wordslinger42 So many good books!! I'm planning on having Heidi on June's book spin! Enjoy Half Magic 😊 I'm on book 5 in that series now; I couldn't stand waiting to read the rest 😅 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I haven't posted my list yet because I've had 3 versions and already considering a rewrite. 🤣 5y

TheAromaofBooks @wordslinger42 - your review of Half Magic is what reminded me that I wanted to reread these!! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick - Right!? As you can tell from all the white-out, I had a few revisions already haha 5y

I suppose I should post my own #bookspin list!!

Books 1-10 are on my "new arrivals" shelf (although some of them have been there over a year ?) and books 11-20 are old favorites I have really been wanting to reread, including the tagged book that I may just reread this month no matter what because it is SO funny.

I will draw the numbers Thursday, so plenty of time if you still want to post a list!!

TheAromaofBooks Also just realized I wrote down all the authors except for Rainbow Rowell. Hmm 5y
