It cracks me up that the tagged book was one of the ones chosen this month because I was originally supposed to read it in April during my sister‘s birthday month since she rec‘d it to me. And now it‘s my birthday month and the fates have spoken 😆⚡️ #BookSpin #DoubleSpin

I know I‘m late posting my list but I have not looked at the official numbers yet so I could put this up with virgin eyes lol 🙈 April is my sister‘s birthday month so I told her I would add a book she wanted me to read to my list. Sadly the almighty bingo spinner did not choose hers, so the tagged book will be one of my freebies. #BookSpin #DoubleSpin #BookSpinBingo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 3y
