Finished this this weekend for my book club. Really appropriate timing, and super satisfying for my need for justice and retribution. Recommended, especially right now in the US.

I forgot many things in the last week. But here's my November #bookspin bingo card. And here's to next month being better.

@TheAromaofBooks

Okay, I'm not gonna post the picture again (see previous post), but I ended up binging this last night 🤣🤣. It was so sweet! And so weird. It's basically exactly what the title states, Pride & Prejudice... In space. The artwork is incredible. I adored this!

Okay, I know this is going to be absurd, but did I shove everything else I was reading to the side to read this instead? Hell yeah! I'm a super Jane Austen fan, but also really easy to please (for the most part) and just look at that cover!

#currentlyreading #bookscavengerhunt #moon #hauntedshelf #teamflerken

Whoa. That was #dark. And surprisingly funny. Lots of violence and gore and 🔥🔥🔥 scenes. Couldn't put it down once I got going. Definitely a #bookrecommendation for those who like their romance a little twisted. Also, it's kinda hard to tell, but there's definitely #blood on the cover.

This was so sweet! Perfect reading for what feels like our first actual #fall weather. Highly #recommended!

This was so sweet! At times a wee bit preachy, but overall charming, warm, and lovely. Highly #recommended for fans of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree.

I particularly enjoy the #purple painted edges :-D

#HauntedShelf #bookspinbingo #bookscavengerhunt #wordsearch #TeamFlerken @puddlejumper

Huh. I actually found a book that's not in the database. What is it with these book trackers and poetry?

Anywho, interesting collection of poetry about math, science, death... You know, the big things 😀. Not normally my jam, but I was definitely intrigued. And look at that cover art! Fascinating.

Another cozy fantasy romance (coromantasy?) in the bag for #HauntedShelf. This one I got from NetGalley. Overall, mostly enjoyable. The protagonists are sweet, the town is charming and quirky, and the romance is slow building. My only quibble is that the plot itself seemed to peter out a little too soon. Still, I recommend it. It's a lovely read for this time of year.

#teamflerken @PuddleJumper

Finished my first book for #HauntedShelf! Just look at that cover, how much more fall-y can you get?! Super 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥, with amazing descriptions of living on a pumpkin farm with a plus size FMC and MMC. I've been binging Elise Kennedy's enovellas lately and this is my favorite by far.

Also counts for an orange book cover for the #bookscavengerhunt.

#TeamFlerken @PuddleJumper

This is my absolute favorite fall read. I highly recommend this for #hauntedshelf!

#Flerken @PuddleJumper

Here's my October #bookspin list. I love this time of year 😍😁

@TheAromaofBooks #hauntedshelf #flerken

I think this is as good as it gets for my September #bookspinbingo. Good reading month! @TheAromaofBooks

I found out some truly distressing/heartbreaking news this week (I'm fine, my family's fine), so I binge read this book to soothe my heart. I have been extremely fortunate in my life to not have experienced much deep loss in my life, but this book healed my bruised heart in ways it's hard to explain. I can't overstate how much the descriptions of death made me feel better. Highly recommended.

#authoramonth #aam @soubhiville

A while back, someone posted instructions on how to side load the Litsy app. I got a new phone, and the app is STILL not available in the Play Store. Does anyone remember how to side load it?

Thanks!

Here's my #bookspin bingo card for September. All squares intact 🤣🤣

@TheAromaofBooks

And here's my list for September!

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Did pretty well this August. Even almost got a bingo! Posting this last minute as I finished my #doublespin book last night 🤣🤣

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was so bananas. Many of the references went over my head, but I think that's because this book was set in the 1950s, but published in 1990, and I read it in 2024 🤣🤣. Anyway, the story was beyond bizarre, but I could not put it down. Highly recommended!

And I got my #doublespin for the month! @thearomaofbooks

Depressing and informative. And grizzly bears are scary AF!

This was surprisingly compelling. I don't know why I was surprised, as I loved Transmetropolitan, but I guess it's because I wasn't a fan of Ellis' other novel. This is a really terrific police procedural, with the expected rough language and flashes of gore-ish violence. Still, really enjoyed this.

My #bookspin bingo card!

@TheAromaofBooks

And here's my #bookspin list for August!

@TheAromaofBooks

So so close this month. Good reading month, even so 🤩🤩

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Not a great reading month, was June 😭😭. I think the few I did read, however, were great ones. I'm not even sure which of these was my favorite, though RAZORBLADE TEARS was technically a #dnf.

Onward to a better reading month!

#readingroundup

There's actually a good chance I could get bingo this month 🤣🤣

#bookspinbingo #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

And here's my #bookspin list for July. Here's hoping!

@TheAromaofBooks

Oof, this was NOT a good reading month. The rain clouds over my #aam mean it was a #dnf, which is my second of the year. I was doing so well, too! Oh well. On to the next month!

@TheAromaofBooks

Here's my #bookspin bingo card for June!

@TheAromaofBooks

Okay, I think this is the most I'll read this month. No bingo, not still productive. Plus, lots of fun with PicCollage stickers 🤣🤣

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Here is my list for June's #bookspin bingo!

#tbr @TheAromaofBooks

I haven't really been keeping up with this, so here it is all at once 😀😀. Might even get bingo this month. #bookspinbingo

@TheAromaofBooks

That took WAY too long. And if I look at this image too closely, I will want to straighten the lines :-D Anyway, here's my #bookspin bingo card. I'm kinda excited that my #aam #authoramonth choice is also my #doublespin!

@thearomaofbooks

My #bookspin list for May. April was NOT a great reading month, and what I did finish was motivated myself by my mood. So who knows how this month will go? @TheAromaofBooks

Finally got my #bookspinbingo card put together!

@TheAromaofBooks

Forgot to post my #bookspin list for April!

@TheAromaofBooks

Finished my #aam today. What an incredibly compelling mystery. The descriptions of Australia in the midst of an intense drought was.... Damn, so horrifying. The mystery was depressing AF and the characters were complicated. I highly enjoyed this and might actually continue the series 🤣🤣

@Soubhiville #janeharper #thedry #authoramonth

A little late tonight, but my reading corner for the #HyggehourReadathon includes Christmas lights, a houseplant, and open windows! It was in the 70s today, in Wisconsin, on March 3, and very blustery. Such a weird day.

Reading the tagged book for some "end of the weekend" comfort.

@AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @jenniferw88

And here's my #bookspinbingo card! @TheAromaofBooks

And here's my #bookspin list for March.

@TheAromaofBooks

Didn't do so great with the specific books I meant to read, but I did a fair amount of reading. Almost got a bingo!

#bookspinbingo #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

This was fabulous! If you enjoyed The Soul of an Octopus I HIGHLY recommend this.

#Nonfiction

Finished my first #aam title! This was fantastic. Some of the stories were fairly disturbing, but overall I highly recommend this. I haven't been able to get into her novels, so I'm pleased I enjoyed this.

#authoramonth #laurengroff @Soubhiville

I already forgot to post my #HyggehourReadathon picture, but I DID take this amazing photo of my reading buddy, Huxley, while I was reading. It was a stressful evening, so I appreciated being able to decompress with my pal. Sigh.

@AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @jenniferw88

Here's my #bookspinbingo card for February!

@TheAromaofBooks

I think it's safe to assume I won't get much more reading done this month. The quieter I am on Litsy, the more reading i do 😂😂

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Sigh. I flipping ADORE this book.

Sigh. That's all I got. A swoony sigh 😂😂

#authoramonth #janeausten @Soubhiville

Here's my #bookspinbingo card. So excited for a new year/new challenge!

@TheAromaofBooks

Here's my #bookspin #doublespin list for January's #bookspinbingo!

@TheAromaofBooks

This was the first collection of #poetry that popped into my head for #midwintersolace. Poetry is very hit or miss for me (it seems so much more personal than prose, for some reason), so when I love it, I LOVE it. I highly highly recommend this one.
