Here's my September #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo 😁 August was my first month doing this challenge and it was great! Brilliant to clear some of my HUGE TBR backlog! I've kept my list the same as last month, just replaced those I read with new titles... Hoping for a line in August's bingo as well before the month is out!! 🤞

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Looks great!!! 4y

Friends, can you believe that it's almost September?? It's been a weird summer, but also a very fast one! I love fall, but I'm always sad to leave behind long days & running barefoot.

There's still a week left in August, so plenty of time to wrap up some more #BookSpin / Bingo books. Remember, if I haven't COMMENTED on your post, it means I probably didn't see it, so please tag me again if you want credit!! I love seeing all of your reviews & ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) thoughts!!

It's also time to start thinking about September lists. Anyone is welcome to join #BookSpin - feel free to check out this post for more details on the challenge & just let me know if you have any questions!! https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1989556

I always draw the numbers on the 2nd of the month, so just post your list anytime between now & then. If you want to take a break this month but want to stay on the tag list, please⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) just let me know!!

I am going to bring #BookSpinBingo BACK for September (and probably every month haha)!! I've had so many people tell me that this challenge really helped them tackle their TBR, so I am going to make the challenge available again for those who wish to participate.

As always, there is NO obligation to do the bingo part – everyone is welcome to read just the regular #BookSpin and/or #DoubleSpin. ⬇

wanderinglynn I‘m all in for September! 4y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) . But for those who want the added challenge of scoring a bingo (or reading the entire card – some of you are going crazy & I love it!!), you can either make your regular list of 20 (which means you‘ll have 5 free spaces), or make a list of 25. As always, only regular BookSpin/DoubleSpin count as entries for the giveaway, so the extra reading is just for the fun of the challenge!!

I'm tagging everyone who either posted a #BookSpin list ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) for August, or who requested to be tagged for this month. Can't wait to see your September lists - I'll be back on the 2nd with magic numbers!!! 4y
AllisonM89 It's so silly, because I know you are doing this monthly and there's no actual new “news“ in this post, but I get so excited to see this post and start thinking about the next month's list 😂 4y
Soubhiville Oh wow, is it time to think about my September list already?! 😊📚 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm YAY!!!! Where does the time go?!?! 😅 4y
Cinfhen OMG!!!! Look how many participants you have!!!! That‘s AMAZING 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉I‘m posting my list a little different this month😁and I‘m probably just sticking to regular #BookSpin #DoubleSpin 💜Thanks so much for all you do!!!!! 4y
squirrelbrain I completely agree with @AllisonM89 - so exciting! Even though I haven‘t got a bingo line yet this month.... I‘ve realised I keep getting distracted by other books so I‘m going to include 5 free spaces this time, rather than choosing 25 books. 4y
Sace I'm with @AllisonM89... I get so excited about this every month. I'm definitely better at short term goals than long term. 🤣 4y
Elizabeth2 Yay!! 4y
wideeyedreader Sadly I don‘t have time for the bingo aspect anymore, but I‘ll totally be participating in regular book spin! 4y
OriginalCyn620 Yay! I always look forward to the 2nd of the month! 🤗 4y
i.besteph Yay thanks for the tag! Still working on my bingo huhuhu (edited) 4y
bookandbedandtea I'm so glad to hear #BookSpinBingo is going to be more or less permanent! It definitely helps me tackle my TBR. I'll start planning my September list. Thanks so much for doing this each month @thearomaofbooks 4y
keys_on_fire This was so much fun, and has helped my get back into the rhythm of reading! I‘m still struggling with a motivation to read from the pandemic, so this incentive to get a bingo is great! Thanks so much!! 4y
Hooked_on_books I‘m in for bingo! 4y
AmyG I love how popular this is! It‘s my favorite on here as I always wait excitedly for the number. Thank you! 4y
Heideschrampf Oh lord... i haven‘t even started my DoubleSpin yet! 4y
VeganCleopatra Oddly enough I don't at all care about getting bingo but love making what is essentially my TBR for the month. I've always been a mood reader so planning my list for the month has been fun to try. I've tried such things before but my moods would interfere but there's just something about the bingo card...haha 😏 Thanks for doing it! 4y
BayouGirl85 It definitely motivates me to read and takes some of the guess work out of what to read next. 4y
LibrarianRyan I doubt I finish this month. More why later today. 4y
JenReadsAlot Yay! And I'm with @squirrelbrain I need free spaces next month! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @squirrelbrain - I tried to do 25 books in July, but changed it to free spaces for August. It didn't seem like those five spots should make a difference, but they really did!! 4y
Allylu Working on my September list! I have one ebook and one audiobook to finish for a Bingo for August! 4y
BarkingMadRead Woohoo I get back from vacay just in time to make my new list! 4y
Sarahreadstoomuch Definitely in again! I‘ll post my list after the weekend though... the visual aspect of this really helps me stick to my TBR, the free spaces fill my need for mood reading, and all of it is just super fun! Thanks for hosting this every month! 4y
ElizaMarie I‘m excited to see what‘s picked next month. I was hoping to get through 2 more this more this month but I doubt it. (Just gonna push them over for next month 😊) 4y
rabbitprincess Yaaaay! I am on vacation and can‘t wait to get home and check off books in my bingo card and make a new one for September! Including library books worked well this month, and so did having one free space. I think I‘ll do the five free spaces this month. 4y
Scochrane26 I was just wondering last night when you were going to make this post. I don‘t know why because I know it‘s coming up, I guess this just makes it official. Can‘t wait! 4y
Megabooks Count me in again!! 4y
candority I‘m in for bingo again! 4y
rockpools How exciting! 4y
CBee I‘m going to pass next month, I didn‘t even get a bookspin for August 🤦‍♀️ @TheAromaofBooks 4y
hes7 I love that the bingo part is sticking around! 4y
Eggs I‘m in for bingo again! This time I‘ll do a list of 20 with 5 free spaces. Thanks for organizing all this and for your comments 💕🥰💕 Sarah 4y
JamieArc I‘m almost done with my Double Spin. Will post my next BookSpin list soon! 4y
SamAnne Plan to play! 4y
Clwojick @squirrelbrain I‘m with you! I will definitely be giving myself the 5 free spaces this month. I‘ve read 7-8 off my shelf that weren‘t on this months bingo board 🤦🏻‍♀️ 4y
mollyrotondo I am soooo excited bingo is continuing!!!!! My September list is almost done! Just trying to finish up a couple more August bingo books! 4y
squirrelbrain I know @Clwojick - i‘ve read 10 off my bingo card but no bingo lines and that‘s because I‘ve read 10 other books as well.... got a bit overexcited with the Booker longlist! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @CBee - No worries!! Sometimes you need a break!! But if you do read your August book(s) later, just tag me in the review & let me know they're from August & I'll still give you credit!!! 4y
ravenlee I can‘t believe August is almost over! I‘m in for #bookspin for September and haven‘t decided on bingo yet. I love how many people are participating! I think you hit a home run with this challenge, @TheAromaofBooks 4y
CBee @TheAromaofBooks oh awesome! I‘ll remember that 😁 4y
MallenNC I am excited! The Bingo card is really motivating for some reason and I like having the free spaces for books that come in at the library. I got some new books for my birthday that I can‘t wait to add to my September bingo list. 4y
Deblovestoread I‘m in....I worked on my September list last weekend! Thanks Sarah!😊 4y
bekakins Woohoo! The bingo had definitely helped me decide what to read in August so will definitely be doing again! 4y
SLibrarian5 Yay! I'm still deciding on bingo, but I'll definitely do the regular challenge! 4y
coffees I was thinking about my list yesterday night, I always get excited when it's time to make the bingo sheet 😆😆😆 4y
BookwormAHN I'm back in 😸 4y
Thousand-Lives I think I‘m going to take a month off from bingo, but you know I‘m definitely up for the regular #bookspin challenge! 🎉 Can‘t wait! 4y
sharread 🤓❤👍🐇😻 4y
alisiakae I'd love to jump back in again in September, but my books are all packed up, and most will stay that way for a while (I have a few TBR book boxes that I hope to unpack mid-September!) Can I use my virtual TBR (ie Goodreads To-Read list) for Sept? 4y
AnneCecilie I‘m in for September. It might seem like I have fallen out of your tag list, please feel free to tag me in your posts 4y
Bookwormjillk Yay!! 4y
BookmarkTavern Yay! I‘m going to have to reuse most of last month‘s books. This has been a rough month for reading! 😅 4y
marleed Oh fun, I‘ve picked my 20 books already. I‘ll reserve the precious 5 free spaces to surprise myself with unplanned reads. 4y
AsYouWish Oh my goodness!!! This month flew by!!! I need to update my board and then I will post. I am super excited to pick books for September!!! 4y
jb72 I‘ve got my list posted! 🤞🏻 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Thousand-Lives - My goal with the bingo part is that it's easy to do when it works and skip when it doesn't work. You know me... all about the low-stress!! 😂 4y
TheAromaofBooks @4thhouseontheleft - Yes, absolutely!! Whatever method will work for your situation is good with me!! One clever Litten (may or may not be @Cinfhen) has chosen to set her list up by using categories instead of specific titles, so even something like that works for me!! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @AnneCecilie - Sorry that I missed you!! I may have just typed your name wrong, knowing me!! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @ozma.of.oz - That happens sometimes!! I don't know if I'm going to get bingo for September - Sept & Oct are usually my two busiest months of the year!! 4y
Thousand-Lives @TheAromaofBooks YES! The low-stress aspect of the challenge is what makes it (and you) so wonderful! 😁 4y
aroc Thanks! @TheAromaofBooks Love this challenge. No bingos yet but here's to hoping! 4y
CarolynM I'm in again. Thanks Sarah😘 4y
Librarybelle Hooray!! 4y
claudiuo I‘ve found out that bingo makes me read more, so I‘m definitely in. Still trying to finish my bookspin, I‘ll post my list soon. Thank you! 4y
Grrlbrarian I‘m in! Super excited for September: it‘ll be Mystery Month!!! 🎉 4y
Gissy I'm very Behind from my month goals. Probably I will move some books not read in August to September because I need to complete the N.E.W.T.s Magical Readathon. I will post my September book list at the end of August to see if I can finish one more book. 4y
fiction_addict I'm in for bingo! But I'm so so sorry I couldn't complete any this month. Having had to move countries unexpectedly and trying to settle in the new place, life has been crazy 🙈. Hope it's alright to enter again. I don't want to give up and keep trying. 4y
Sargar114 Thanks again for hosting, Sarah. While I technically did as good in August as I did in July, I felt more productive cause I didn‘t bail. Really enjoying the few books I read this month. Will continue with bookspinbingo cause i like the direction it gives me. If I get a minimum of three, I‘m happy. 😁 4y
RainyDayReading Woohoo! Can‘t wait! 4y
catebutler I can‘t believe how quickly this month has flown by! I‘m still chipping away at my August list! Now to come up with September‘s. ☺️ 4y
TheAromaofBooks @fiction_addict - No worries!! This is literally the most low-key challenge ever. You're welcome to join and then read nothing, or forget to sign up for the month and then jump in later, or skip a month (or several) or participate every month - it's just whatever works for you!! So just post your list & start fresh in September!! Hope your move has gone well. Just moving house is stressful - can't imagine jumping countries!! 4y
fiction_addict @TheAromaofBooks thank you so much for understanding 🤗 Yeah all is well now. It was quite stressful due to pandemic and we had to undergo 14 days of quarantine upon arrival 🙈😅 we are finally shifting to our own place by 1st of September 😊 4y
TheAromaofBooks @fiction_addict - Well I hope the final stages of the move go well!!! Sounds so stressful!! 4y
fiction_addict @TheAromaofBooks Fingers crossed 🤞 Thank you! 4y
KVanRead This has definitely helped my TBR! Thanks so much!!! 4y

Part of the fun of this book was discovering an author many claim is the best "lesfic" author (hadn't heard that term until I read reviews of her books) and the other part was believable characters working through real barriers to a relationship.
