Spin Me Right Round | David Valdes

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is ELEVEN! Our official #DoubleSpin number is TWO!! 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 over 200 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. ⬇

Hopefully, I can get the dog to stop barking for 30 minutes of quiet so I can start on this one today. Nothing is wrong with him. He just likes to complain when his meatball stash runs out and he has to eat Fresh Pet & kibble like a peasant.

vlwelser That's hilarious. About the dog. Not the lack of quiet time. That would drive me insane. 11mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @vlwelser On paper, I should get lots of reading time. I live with my guy & my dog and have a job. That's it. But I'm pretty sure the dog needs to bark at me (just me) for at least 2 hours a day, so he schedules that for the time between when i get home & my guy gets home. My guy needs to watch about 5 hours of TV at home and likes me to watch with him. I sometimes "work late" to enjoy the peace of a quiet office. ? 11mo
vlwelser That's intense. Maybe you need some noise cancelling ear buds or something. One of my besties recommends the beats ones but they're for iPhone. I don't use them because girl + public transport. 11mo

I‘m reading this series as a buddy read with @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick. It reads a lot grimmer than when I first read it. It‘s still a fun, fast read, though. I foolishly forgot to add it to my BookSpin Bingo list.

These books take up quite a bit of space. I'm aiming to read the entire 13-book series this year. (Unless I hate them and just give them all away at once.) My neighbor's daughter is 9 or 10 years old & a little dark. My thought is to see if she's interested in reading them after me so I have a plan of release, and maybe she'll keep me motivated.

Should anyone want to join me, I'll use #AnUnfortunateReadalong to share my thoughts.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @AmandaBlaze Should you want to join me... I'm diving in! 12mo
Daisey Great hashtag! 12mo
AmandaBlaze I‘m in! 12mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Daisey Thanks! I giggled long and hard when I came up with it. I am my target audience. 🤣 12mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @AmandaBlaze YAY!! I'll see if I come up with a couple of questions to make it a little more interactive, but I make no promises. This is mainly about reading in solidarity. 😁 12mo

I have the entire 13 book collection of A Series of Unfortunate Events and should really read it or get rid of it. If I do a book a month (with 1 & 2 in January for momentum), would anyone else be interested in a buddy read for 2024? I am not a question-y person, so it would just be casual. Just an occasional check-in, comraderie thing.

AmandaBlaze I was just thinking of rereading those. Sounds like fun. 13mo
peanutnine I'm just finishing up my reread of the series, doing one book a month, and had a blast with them! Hope you enjoy! ☺️ 13mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @AmandaBlaze You're welcome to join me! I'll give it a fun hashtag #AnUnfortunateReadalong. I'm aiming to read book 1 by January 15 and book 2 by January 31. One book a month from there. Maybe others will join in. I've never read these, nor have I watched the series, so I'm excited to see how it goes. Maybe my niece will get in on this after I finish them. 13mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @katy4peas I think you and I talked about this a couple of years ago. I'm gonna do it! If all is well and you'd like to join in, I'm happy to have you. 13mo
