My 2024 reading. Highlights for me were doing some deep dives for #FoodAndLit, reading all of the Station Eleven books in a row over a couples of weeks for #AuthorAMonth, reading around the world for #ReadingAfrica #ReadingAsia #ReadingTheAmericas and #ReadingOceania (none of which I have completed so I‘ll still be going in 2025), the hilarity of #HashtagBrigade, #CampLitsy, and numerous other challenges that have made my reading life so rich.

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! 7mo
GingerAntics I think I‘m going to have to start tracking my reading in storygraph. I keep hearing so many good things. 7mo
Librarybelle Hooray! A good reading month! 7mo

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.

@Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

Tales of the South Pacific | James A. Michener
post image

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! 7mo
Texreader @marleed I‘ll now have to keep a lookout for it too! 7mo
marleed It‘s a great story! 7mo

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. ⬇

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 ⬇
8mo
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! 8mo
IndoorDame Last month‘s numbers flipped! 😆😂 8mo
TheBookgeekFrau 💜💜💜 8mo
AmyG Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend! 8mo
AllDebooks Yay, that captures the buddyreads 8mo
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! 8mo
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.

TheAromaofBooks @IndoorDame - I swear I mix them up! 😂 8mo
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. 8mo
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! 😂 8mo
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. 8mo
Librarybelle Yay! Mine are The Hotel and Two Stories! 8mo
claudiuo Thank you so much! 8mo
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! 8mo
bookandbedandtea Woohoo! Here's to another good month of reading. 😊 7mo
Bookwormjillk I got two books for #ReadingOceania

I may actually finish this challenge!

Bookwormjillk @willaful yeah I had to dig for some of these! 8mo
