The House in the Cerulean Sea | Tj Klune

Seven books read in September. I finished the #LitsyAtoZ challenge this month with the #letterU! Two books read for #authoramonth, 3 for #foodandlit #Malaysia, 2 for #readingOceania #Australia and #Samoa. @Soubhiville @Catsandbooks @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

Catsandbooks Awesome! I keep forgetting that Storygraph does these graphics! 2mo

GingerAntics I think I‘m going to have to start tracking my reading in storygraph. I keep hearing so many good things. 2mo

Librarybelle Hooray! A good reading month! 2mo

Under the Wide and Starry Sky: A Novel | Nancy Horan

Big News! I finished this book, which means I completed the #LitsyAtoZ challenge!! I‘ve read books that start with every letter of the alphabet this year for the seventh year in a row! This book was for #Samoa #ReadingOceania, a challenge I finished much earlier this year but for which I still have more books I found and want to read. Review to come.

Tales of the South Pacific | James A. Michener

My second weekend in a row at HPB ended in a massive book haul… so here goes:

The tagged book came up in my search when I was reading for #readingOceania and it looked like a book I‘d enjoy

And then I saw Space and thought that‘d be a good read as my son starts his journey in college to become an aerospace engineer

marleed How cool. I‘m always on the lookout for a book called by Michener called The Drifters. I read it in high school for my own entertainment. My dad was impressed I chose his favorite author so he read the book after me. We talked and talked about that book. I‘d love to see it on my shelves and have those memories flood back everyday! 2mo

Texreader @marleed I‘ll now have to keep a lookout for it too! 2mo

marleed It‘s a great story! 2mo

Spin Around Space | Igloobooks

This post contains spoilers

show me

Hey everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is SIX! Our official #DoubleSpin number is FOUR!! 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. ⬇
3mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) As always, the link to the masterpost about how this challenge works can be found on my profile or here - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - and the link to the Google Form where you can track your reads for the end-of-the-year-giveaway can be found here - https://forms.gle/4kTBMWAsCa9Cvmqs6

Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always ⬇
3mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) have time to reply to them all!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and for making this challenge SO much fun!!

I'm going to post the Bingo board, and then come back and start the tag list on the last post. Happy reading!!!

LiteraryinPA Yay! It‘s go time! 3mo

IndoorDame Last month‘s numbers flipped! 😆😂 3mo

TheBookgeekFrau 💜💜💜 3mo

AmyG Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend! 3mo

AllDebooks Yay, that captures the buddyreads 3mo

BarbaraJean Woohoo!! Early numbers are so exciting! I‘ve got two nonfiction books I‘ve been wanting to get to—Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson for BookSpin and the tagged for DoubleSpin!

Now What?: How to Move Forward When We're Divided (about Basically Everything)

willaful By chance, my double spin is the same as my bookspin last month, The Revisionaries, which I haven't finished, so that seems like a sign!

My bookspin is Heart of Blood and Ashes. 3mo

TheAromaofBooks @IndoorDame - I swear I mix them up! 😂 3mo

HeyT I had to look up the numbers from last month to make sure I wasn‘t going crazy that my picks this month are the two I just put on the list. 3mo

TheAromaofBooks @HeyT - I honestly hadn't even noticed that they were same numbers until @IndoorDame pointed it out. I went back and checked. Apparently everyone is REALLY supposed to read those numbers! 😂 3mo

IndoorDame @TheAromaofBooks haha, it‘s because of the app I use to make images with the books I end up choosing. The background from your last post usually gets saved in it until I replace it with the new one. 3mo

Librarybelle Yay! Mine are The Hotel and Two Stories! 3mo

claudiuo Thank you so much! 3mo

bekakins Like others I was really confused and had to check I was looking at the right months post 🤣 excited to finally finish the culture series though with my double spin! 3mo

bookandbedandtea Woohoo! Here's to another good month of reading. 😊 3mo

Bookwormjillk I got two books for #ReadingOceania

I may actually finish this challenge! 3mo

Karisa Beautiful place with a sad past… I didn‘t know much of that history. I‘d only heard of this island nation when watching an old season of Survivor this summer. 😅 So interesting! Thank you for sharing! 3mo

BookSpinBingo | Untitled

I think I finally have my #BookspinBingo list together. There‘s just so many books I want to read! This is a mix of new summer releases, some #ReadingOceania books that I put aside earlier this year due to lack of brain space, #CampLitsy, some backlist from my shelf, and books for #FoodAndLit and #AuthorAMonth. I‘m really hoping to get back to reading on the porch for an hour each night.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 5mo
