IT'S FINALLY TIME!!! 😁 Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is SIXTEEN!! Our official #DoubleSpin number is TWENTY!! 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!!!

Just a few quick housekeeping items that I would really appreciate if you would take a moment to read -

TheAromaofBooks 1. Remember, this is a no-pressure challenge!! You can read one or both of these books. You can bail on them. You can read them in October & then tag me & tell me they were from August. Whatever works!! This is supposed to be fun not stressful!! ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks 2. I am hoping to have a giveaway at the end of the year. Entries are reviews of #BookSpin books, but I will only know about them if you tag me, so please tag me whenever you read & review your book for the month. DNFs count! The goal for #BookSpin is to get a book off your TBR, so if you decide not to finish it, it's still off the list, so tag me & tell me why you bailed. ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks 3. I am tagging everyone who posted a list, so if you posted a list & you do not get tagged here, please let me know! It means I either accidentally missed your original #BookSpin post OR I wrote down your username wrong. Either way, I'm really sorry. Everyone is welcome to join this challenge, so if I missed you it was entirely by mistake - just let me know!! ⬇ 5y

TheAromaofBooks 4 & final - While I don't have time to reply to all of the comments to this post, I do read every one and love seeing which books got picked for you!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, and happy reading!!!

Bingo will be the next post after I finish tagging everyone here!!! 5y

magyklyXdelish my books are Devil in the white city and an arc from Netgalley everything I thought I knew...both of which I‘ve been putting off and would have continued to put off so I‘m excited to knock them off the list! 5y

Soubhiville My book spin is Last Night in Montreal by Emily St John Mandel and my double spin is Chocolat by Joann Harris. Yay! Thanks for all you do 🤗 5y

Clare-Dragonfly YAAAAAAAYYY!

Spinning Silver

rockpools As always, I‘m in awe of your organisational skills. Will you look at that list??! Both of mine are real life print books this month & gifts from lovely Littens - I‘ve got My Sister the Serial Killer as my #DoubleSpin and for #BookSpin:

Rootbound: Rewilding a Life

Kelly326 My #bookspin is The Summer Wives and #doublebookspin is The Guest List. Can‘t wait to get started as soon as I finish East of Eden!! 5y

jenniferw88 #bookspin An Almond For A Parrot and #Doublespin

How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life

Lesanne My #Bookspin is The Color of Law, #DoubleSpin is Opium and Absinthe! 5y

bekakins My #bookspin is Property by Lionel Shriver, #doublespin is We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson 5y

slategreyskies My #bookspin is These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman, and my #doublespin is Lillian Boxfish Takes A Walk by Kathleen Rooney. 5y

Allylu #BookSpin is Plainsong by Kent Haruf and #DoubleSpin is Illuminae by Aimee Kaufman. That‘s funny because my daughter encouraged me to read Illuminae but said I should wait until after my cataract surgery which is in September. Hmmm...if #DoubleSpin says August, I may have to try it. 😊 5y

Gissy #BoonSpin is....dandan...Summer at the Garden Café. #DoubleSpin is....(drums sound)....The Summer I turned, which is also part of last?N.E.W.T.s Magical Readathon (last N.E.W.T.s Thank You to Rawlings insensible comment, YouTuber Book Roast will not do this activity again). 5y

VeganCleopatra I know you didn't say here but I can't remember if you have before...are doublespins included in the giveaway entry or just the bookspins? Thanks again for all the effort. 5y

JamieArc My #BookSpin is Soar, a book I almost picked up to start yesterday (but decided to wait to see which number was pulled, lol), and #DoubleSpin is Normal People, which I‘ve been wanting to get to because I won‘t watch the show until I‘ve read the book. Thanks as always for doing this! 5y

Kalalalatja Yikes, my bookspin is Barnaby Rudge by Dickens 🙈 luckily my doublespin is a little less heavy 😅

The Last Romantics: A Novel

AmyG Yay! I forgot it was the 2nd. I love seeing what I read. My book is Dictation - Cynthia Ozick. 5y

Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures #bookspin is The Deep by Alma Katsu and #doublespin is Marauder by DW Roach 5y

TheAromaofBooks @VeganCleopatra - Yes, both BookSpin & DoubleSpin count as entries. However, any of the extra reads for Bingo (or Bonanza earlier this year) do not count - so, maximum of two entries per month, so that way people who read more don't get the giveaway stacked in their favor!! 5y

Rissreadswithcats #bookspin

Tender is the Night

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Bookspin is Ralph's Party, which has been on my TBR for over 15 years. Doublespin is one of my buddy reads, The Downstairs Girl. Yay!! 5y

Rissreadswithcats #doublespin I‘m excited to read both of these

The Salt Path

(edited) 5y

VeganCleopatra Thanks for the clarification! I knew the others didn't count but I started doubting myself that the doubles did! I'm really hoping both of us tackle our boards more effectively this month. 🤞 5y

Sargar114 #bookspin is The Diviner‘s (audiobook). I‘ve never done an audiobook before so this will be fun. I‘ve read this book but I‘ve heard such great things about the audio version! My #doublespin is The Rise of Magicks which will finish a trilogy for me, so that‘s super exciting. Thank you again for putting this together!!! 5y

LiteraryinPA You are an organizational wizard! This is a lot of work- thanks for all you do! I‘m really excited to participate this month! 5y

Selena85 Bookspin is The Dorito Effect. I'm more excited about my Doublebookspin which is Mrs. Fletcher. Planning on getting through both this month, but really want a Bingo! Excited to see what that will be

The Dorito Effect: The Surprising New Truth About Food and Flavor

claudiuo Both my spins are story collections, which is great, I love short stories. The BookSpin is The Emerald Circus by Jane Yolen and DoubleSpin is Dark and Bitter. I am behind, not having finished the July spins yet but hope to make it up this month. Thank you so much!

The Emerald Circus

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira BookSpin tagged, which I‘ve started reading already 🤩 DoubleBookSpin : The Courage to Be Disliked. Thanks again, so much fun 🤗

Shantaram: A Novel

bookandbedandtea I'm so glad you do this, @Thearomaofbooks; book spin has become one of the highlights of my month. #16 is Steinbeck's The Pearl and #20 is I Capture The Castle. I'm eager for both. 😊 5y

MatchlessMarie 16 and 20 on my list are Nothing Feels Good (a book about emo music) and It Ended Badly (a book about breakups) what a mood lol

TheAromaofBooks @Suet624 - A new job is a fun reason to have less reading time!!! Any time you want to jump back in, you're very welcome to do so - it's a nice challenge that way!! 5y
