Well, I once again read not one #bookspin or #doublespin this month. Read Lean In from this list for a book club, and some other new books I was dying to read from the used bookstore. Throwing my list in the ring again for December... maybe will get one in this time 😂🤷‍♀️ thanks @TheAromaofBooks for this awesome game to get me to read the dusty books on my shelf 🥰😁 I‘ll get to them eventually 😜📚📚📚

TheAromaofBooks Sometimes life doesn't go exactly as planned 😂 But my favorite part about monthly challenges is how each month is a fresh start!! 3y
Cosmos_Moon 9&19... let‘s see? 3y

Thanks for the tag @andrew65 for #ISpy with a red cover! This is my autographed copy too!
Let's see what @diovival @wanderinglynn and @CoffeeK8 has for a purple cover!

Andrew65 That‘s great 😊👍 4y
IamIamIam @Andrew65 My sister in law and I went to the signing but I had no idea this was a middle grade book. We were the only adults waiting for signatures but we had to wait behind a 6th grade class from a local school! 🤣🤣🤣 4y

I'm really hoping to get through this small December TBR in order to meet my Goodreads Challenge of 65. At the beginning of the year it was 100 but I had a few busy months of work earlier this year and then started a new job in October and I couldn't read as much as I wanted.

Jeannie I‘m doing the same thing :) I hope you reach your goal! 6y

'He was however famous for something else. When I caught up with him, half a mile down the beach, I told him that Wikipedia said he was dead.'

So bought this in the teen section. Could not for the life of me figure out how I missed a new Hiaasen kids book. Turns out I didn't miss it (as in purchasing). Originally an adult book and #7 of the series. But I already see why it's in the teen section. Love Hiaasen no matter who he is writing for.
