Magnolia has her own ideas about style, music, and--especially--about figure skating. Too bad her twin sister and her mother are stuck in a more conservative mode. Will Maggie find a way to justify the changes she wants to enact, or will she keep on spinning away?

The #bookspin gods were not especially kind to me, but one of the books on my TBR does count for #4 - The StoryGraph Reads the World challenge, so I can‘t be too mad. Assuming, of course, that a book I started last month but am only 22% of the way through counts for this month‘s bookspin??
#doublespin is an add to my TBR and I think I‘ll have some tough decisions about which book clubs or library books go unread. 😮‍💨

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! And it DEFINITELY counts!! I see Elizabeth Wheatley's videos on IG sometimes, but haven't tried any of her books. How do you feel about it? 6d
DGRachel @thearomaofbooks I read the first in the series and thought it was pretty good. Definitely good enough to continue with the series. The pacing is a little slow and I fear the romance part is going to be the slowest of slow burns, which isn‘t my fav, but I do like the world building so far. 6d
Bookzombie @TheAromaofBooks I was going to ask about Wheatley as well. @DGRachel based on her videos, I think it will be a very slow burn. I have the first one on my Kindle to try sometime. 6d

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is FOUR! Our official #DoubleSpin number is TEN!! 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. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are a lot of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong. ⬇

I love Spin Day! #bookspin is something gifted to me, & technically this queer historical romantsy is on loan, but it was a surprise and was given to me with several other gifts so sort of feels like one too, plus I‘m psyched to start it 😁 #doublespin is a poetry pick and this slim little Rilke volume just arrived from thriftbooks a few days ago reminding me that it‘s been way too long since I read Rilke. Thanks so much Sarah! @TheAromaofBooks

Soubhiville I loved this and just got the second on audio 😁 7mo
IndoorDame @Soubhiville yay! Now I‘m even more excited to start it😃 7mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! 7mo
peanutnine Ooh A Strange and Stubborn Endurance was my favorite book of the year when I read it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 7mo

BarbaraJean Ha! My BookSpin is Interesting Times for #OokBookClub and my DoubleSpin is James for #CampLitsy24. The BookSpin fates apparently approve of my buddy reads this month! (edited) 7mo
Sace I think I‘m going to go full on mood read this month and not even plan what my books will be (19 is “kindle” on my list and 1 is “physical”). I‘ll declare what‘s what when I‘m finished reading. I‘m pretty sure this is cheating 😂 7mo
CSeydel Thank you Sarah! My book spin is The Emperor of All Maladies - a chunkster 😅 - and my doublespin is the much slimmer 7mo
