Funny jokes but I like Desth more in later books. Mort not quite so much.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ If a Hallmark movie and Groundhog Day created a love child novel. Mae keeps living the same annual cabin trip over and over, and in doing so, attempts to manipulate situations in hopes of the right outcome. Pretty cheesy, but a cute December read. #BOTM #backlist

CaramelLunacy I liked the unexpectedly sensual sledding... 5mo

Feeling completely mind-blown that we are only ONE WEEK away from JULY! 😲 Seriously, we HAVE to be in some kind of weird time warp!!!!

ANYWAY that means that it is (unbelievably!) time to start thinking about July #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo lists!!! Let me know what you are thinking about reading, and if you'd like to be added or removed from the tag list. I'll be back on July 2 with the new numbers!!!

CatLass007 Will someone please enlighten me about #bookspin #doublespin and #bookspinbingo ? I might be interested in participating if I know what these events are. 11mo
TheAromaofBooks @CatLass007 - Hey there!! Here is the link with all the info!! https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - if you want to join, just make your list and tag me when you do. Let me know if you have any questions!!! 😁 11mo
CatLass007 @TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the info. 11mo
CatLass007 @TheAromaofBooks I have to tell you that I really like your handle. I‘m not sure this will work for me. I have a long Audible TBR, just like everyone. But I have most of them in order already. I have a separate Audible To Be Bought list and it‘s also pretty much in order. I‘m trying to deaccession my physical library because it‘s just too massive for my little house. I have a storage building behind my house that‘s almost completely full of books. (edited) 11mo
TheAromaofBooks @CatLass007 - I know that feeling of books everywhere!! And I have multiple TBRs as well with books I'd like to get a hold of someday!! If this challenge doesn't work for you, no worries!! But you're also quite welcome to sort of mold it to work for your situation - feel free to browse through the #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo tags to see some other lists, lots of people do categories or shelves instead of specific titles. 11mo
CatLass007 @TheAromaofBooks I definitely appreciate the info and I will keep my eyes open. 11mo
Whollybologna I‘m frustrated that I hit a slump in my ready this month but I‘ll be back next month! Working on my list now! ❤️ 11mo
rachelk I‘m still in! I‘ve only completed one of book spin picks since rejoining in April but I‘m tracking the books here and giving myself until the end of the year. 11mo

Finished this #Backlist book in anticipation of seeing the author at my upcoming conference in April. One of her earlier books, this was a bit disjointed for me but the mystery was compelling and kept me reading. #borrownotbuy #Bookspin #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Still spinning to work through my BOTM backlog! I‘m a little embarrassed to admit this is my first Colson Whitehead book. 😳

Crying in H Mart: A Memoir | Michelle Zauner

I am currently sitting on 32 unread Book of the Month Club books since I started in 2018. This is the year I set myself the wholly unrealistic reading goal of trying to read them all!

I am still a BOTM club member, and a BFF member, so I will be receiving another 14 books this year. I need to get the pile down before it gets out of control. Once again, I will be using the spinner app to help me choose my books.

#BOTM #challenge #backlist

LeslieO Good luck to you! I have 45 unread #BOTM. I need to prioritize these books, too! 2y
Gnora @LeslieO how do they manage pile up?!? I swear I read so many of them!! 2y
Reggie Wow!! Lol, good luck! 2y
Traci1 Good luck! I'm trying to do the same thing. I haven't counted, but I think I've probably got around that many too. You've got some good ones to look forward to. Razorblade Tears especially. I loved that one so much. 2y

I‘m trying this spinner app to motivate me to read my BOTM backlist in September. First up is Half Sick of Shadows by Laura Sebastian. Here‘s hoping it goes well.

It's not very often I give a book five stars, but this one is getting 5 stars.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This has been on my TBR for quite awhile and I'm so glad I finally got to it. It starts with Tom saving a woman from raging flood waters, she then claims to have no memory of who she is or how she got there. Its a good slow burn mystery. Also the story of the townspeople of the setting of Floria is great, and that nature seems to be magic in this place. #Backlist.
