I really loved this one! Woman finds herself alone, unemployed, and unsatisfied and takes a spur of the moment trip that will change her life. A literary bus ride through the UK? Yes, please! When she discovers all the other tour members are centenarians, the bus is less than modern, and the driver enjoys messing with her, will she find a way to enjoy herself? 😉 Reader, she will! #netgalleygroup #BookspinBingo #Doublespin

Really fun, great mystery, totally get the hype! Good on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Was so great to see these amazing authors in person to talk about their books and process. Love a book festival! #texasbookfest

Kicking off the Texas Book Festival with one of my favorites, Devorah D.E.E.P. Mouton.

Great premise, complicated characters, delightfully delicious romance! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #romantsy

So good! Twisty, dark, great pace and tension. Fabulous on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Weird and wonderful, I throughly enjoyed this funny, unique story of a new mom finding her way in a difficult world with a complicated family. I knew nothing about wrestling and even less about Onlyfans but they were fascinating elements that added so much to the novel. The internal and external exploration of tense and perspective kept me thinking. Really great! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Thanks for the tag @Ddzmini !

1. Spots! But can we call them polka dots?
2. Yep, just started the tagged one. Love how it starts!

Anyone going to the Texas Book Festival in Austin this weekend? We could do a #litsy meet up? #Texas #texasbookfestival #austin

Sweet, charming, golden retriever younger guy who it takes a while for recognition to dawn. Always love a book with a bookseller character, especially one as delightful as Hazel. Nice escape leading into fall 😍 #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Fantastic and so good on #audio . Tucci is such a good writer, fett, funny, descriptive, and evocative. His food descriptions make my stomach growl and his view on the world and humanity make my heart soar. I am so thankful his books are in the world. Finished this while painting my bathroom and it made the time go by quickly. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was just okay for me. A good escape during a difficult time that make me grin and laugh but I wanted a little more depth from@these characters. I‘ll keep reading Shalvis, just prefer a little less formula. And yes, I put up my tree. Hard week, y‘all. #netgalleygroup #bookspinBingo #doublespin @AllDebooks @TheAromaofBooks

Snarky and evocative with a creepy Dexter vibe, this influencer is over misogyny and the disgusting men who prey on women. While a bit uneven in places, there was a good twist and it felt like the perfect book for me right now. Really over mediocre, entitled men. Sigh. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #fightthepatriarchy

My #comfortread for election night. Seems appropriate 😬💙💙💙🤪 @BookwormAHN

Taking a lot of deep breaths today, drinking my water, only peeking at the news. If you are in the US, I hope you‘ve voted 💙🇺🇸💙

Chilling, informative, creepy. This psychiatric nurse was one of the original experts on serial murderers. She shares her personal history as well as those of the killers she helped bring to justice. Not for the faint of heart, she does shy away from the dark and upsetting components but it is worth the read. Great on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Adored this final installment in the Lovelight series. The characters, the setting, and the secondary characters feel like old friends. I‘m sad to close this series out but can‘t wait for what will come next! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m so happy I finally read this short story collection from Ann Patchett. The story topics run the gamut, but I throughly enjoyed them all, which rarely happens for me. They are read by the author which adds a layer of authenticity and charm and this felt like the perfect time to read it as we consider women‘s rights, bodily autonomy, and the right to read. #Bookspin #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

A great perk about work travel is ordering dinner and a glass of wine from the hotel bar while reading your book. Cheers from Houston!

Absolutely riveting! A must read for anyone with kids in school, taxpayers, teachers, or citizens who care about the education of Americans. Great on #audio . Seriously, read this, especially if you live in Texas! #BookspinBingo

This was scary! Funny and charming but possessed dolls, puppets, even a clown or two! Read and enjoy, but know the risks :) Perfect Halloween season read! #BookspinBingo #Doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

My November #BookspinBingo list! @TheAromaofBooks

This slow burner romance was filled with heart, angst, and friends who become family. Surprisingly powerful storytelling that made me skim over the unbelievable coincidences. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Great thriller! This gripping and provocative story is perfect for fans of investigative journalism, mystery, and crime thrillers. It kept me listening to the #audio as it explored the darker aspects of society and the importance of giving voice to the voiceless. Well crafted and compelling, I‘ll definitely seek out the next in the series. @TheAromaofBooks #BookspinBingo

So delightful! Laugh out loud while you follow this Irish family through the ups and downs of life. Addiction, moving to another country, Covid, and home renovations make for a great story and Meleady manages to find humor while she continues to work hard to make sure her family is happy and healthy. Released Oct 15, a great memoir! #BookspinBingo #netgalleygroup @TheAromaofBooks @AllDebooks

Fantastic! May be my favorite of her so far. I‘m not even really a fan of police procedurals but French does it better than anyone! #BookspinBingo #AAM #authoramonth @TheAromaofBooks @Soubhiville #chunkster

So good! Thrilling, twisty, kept me guessing! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Gave another dark motorcycle club book a try, the series is well written and readable, but this be my last one. A bit too dark for me right now. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

The latest installment in the Ex Hex series is a delight! Bowen, the last Penhallow brother to find love, is a bit of a recluse, a grumpy magic historian who rarely leaves his Welsh mountaintop. Tamsyn is an American who procures magical artifacts for the right price. Hijinks ensue but they find the only way forward is by helping each other. Sparks fly, and not just the magical ones! Just the right amount of steam. Perfect for Halloween and Yule!

This was a delightful romance that starts off with a unique meeting-a pro baseball player is having a tough game and a woman heckles him kicking off a charming, sweet story. #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Wow! Powerful, stark, brutal, brilliant. This #chunkster shares a glimpse of Jamaica in the 60s-70s from multiple perspectives: a ghost, gangsters, journalists, the CIA, and a woman with various identities, following the story to NYC in the 80s. An epic examination of the impact that governments, criminals, and artists can have on a community that is just trying to get by. Dark and upsetting but worth it. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was a wild ride! I‘m happy I went in blind to this one so I won‘t say much except that it is thrilling, thoughtful, and is filled with stand out characters. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Such a great debut! This thriller has all the right twists and turns, a pace that keeps you reading, and some unique psychological elements that were so interesting. I love reading about rich people doing bad things, especially when they . . . no, won‘t give that away. Based in Galveston, Texas so that was fun too. I recommend this one! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This book was so emotional! A woman is dealing with serious financial issues due to her mother‘s health and accepts a second (third?) job to help cover the bills. She is working a hotline for single dads who need answers-is it a silly premise? Yep! Is is a delight to read and watch these characters grow within themselves, with each other, and as a family. Really enjoyed it! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

October‘s #Bookspinbingo list! Bring on fall, y‘all!

So much forbidden(ish) and steamy fun! Bailey always delivers a one of a kind story filled with humor, emotion, and charm. Out in early February, I couldn‘t wait to read this one when it became available. #netgalleygroup #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Loved taking this quiz for Banned Books Week! Thanks, @dabbe I try to read several banned books each year and my score reflects that :) I think that supporting the Freedom to Read is one of the most important things we can do for our democracy, community, and society at large.

This short novel was quiet, thoughtful, strange, and relaxing. It follows a young woman who is trying to find her place in the world and stumbles upon the works of Proust and they change her life. I really enjoyed it! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Great questions, @Eggs and thanks for the tag ☺️

1. Reader, empathetic, energetic
2. Kind, thoughtful, fun
3. Tigger from Winnie the Pooh for obvious reasons

Happy Fall, y‘all!

Still in my Greek myth retelling era. This wasn‘t quite as compelling as Clytemnestra but I enjoyed getting another perspective of this family‘s story. I enjoyed it on #audio and will read more of Saint‘s work. Finished last weekend but failed to post. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was an unexpected gem! I went in blind but was delighted to find a dishy, short story following a couple who are embarking on the trip of a lifetime to the Galapagos Islands when plans take a surprising turn. The characters were fun and felt like a full story packed into less than 100 pages. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Readyourkindle

A super twisty and thrilling read, I read it in a day. This is the first book I‘ve read from this author and while it felt a little clunky and disjointed in areas, I‘m sure I‘ll read another one. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was good, a low pick for me because there was so much going on that it felt a little ridiculous. A woman returns home to help hey dying mother and had to come to terms with a difficult past. The small town thinks they know what happened all those years ago but did they? Her sister trying to find her way out of a terrible marriage and that barely scrapes the surface of everything going on. I liked the sisters, was rooting for them, but (cont)

Totally delightful with an extra helping of steam. Finishing this was the perfect start to the weekend! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Absolutely fantastic! This epic story will have me thinking for years to come. A real #chunkster , this story follows generations of families from India and Ireland, a community dealing with Leprosy and other challenges, and Doctors called to serve their people with empathy and grace. Wonderful on #audio, Verghese delivers another world class novel worth every minute of your time. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was so good! I loved the setting in Viet Nam (the food! the nature!) and the premise of an exclusive, luxury tour that focuses on making lifelong romantic matches between professionals. I liked the characters‘ backgrounds and goals and really enjoyed how the story unfolded. Releases September 23! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

So much fun! Even though I‘m not a football girlie, I throughly enjoyed this! #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Loved this story of lonely people trying to find their way, Scottish islands, quirky families, birds of all types and a goat who will steal your heart. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Charming, sweet and with a great mystery, this 3rd in the series is my favorite so far. Lovely to be in the Austen universe again and watch these two characters grow individually and together :) And Lady Catherine de Bourgogne is still the perfect villain. With she meet a well deserved end? #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was so much fun! Loved the chapters from the dog‘s perspective and it was great on #audio. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
