Here are the results for my June #BookspinBingo! It was a pretty good month of reading for me, but no bingos on my board - maybe this month! However, I was able to complete my challenge of reading 5 #ARCs for #NetGalleyGroup #NGGSummerSmashUp!

Whew, Litsy was down for a hot minute and all I could think about was how everyone NEEDS TO KNOW THE NUMBERS! 😂 But it's back up and running, so here are February's picks without further delay!! Our #BookSpin this month is TEN and our #DoubleSpin is TWENTY!!

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. ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) This saves me having to double tag 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 ⬇ 8mo

MatchlessMarie My first thought was oh no BookSpin finally broke Litsy 😂 8mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) username wrong. Below are a few housekeeping items that I post every month (including the link to the 2023 Google Form for tracking your reads for the giveaway!!). Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy reading!! ⬇ 8mo

See All 63 Comments

TheAromaofBooks 1. Remember, this is a no-pressure challenge!! You can read one or both of these books. You can bail on them. You can bail on the whole challenge and try again next month. Whatever works!! This is supposed to be fun not stressful!! ⬇ 8mo

TheAromaofBooks 2. I do have a giveaway at the end of the year. Every BookSpin or DoubleSpin book completed counts as an entry!! In the past, I have tracked these myself, but for 2022 YOU are in charge of tracking your own entries!! To help with this process, I have created a Google Form that can be found here - https://forms.gle/tc6U17AuVw4ssG2v8- You can use this Form two different ways: You can update it throughout the year OR you can wait and fill in ⬇ 8mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) all the information at the end of the year. If you want to be entered in the giveaway you MUST use this form. However, if you do NOT want to be entered in the giveaway but still want to use the form for organizational purposes, I have set it up so that the personal info/address blank is OPTIONAL - so you can use the form without submitting your name/address. If you do not care about the giveaway you do NOT have to use this form at all ⬇ 8mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) There is more information about how the form works when you click on the link and go to the form because I LOVE overexplaining things!!! You are also ALWAYS welcome to ask me questions!!

4. Even though I don't HAVE to see your reviews I love reading them!! So please feel free to tag me in any and all BookSpin reivews!!

5. For the giveaway, DNFs do count!! The goal for #BookSpin is to get a book off your TBR, so if you decide not to ⬇
8mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) finish it, it's still off the TBR and still counts as a completion in my book!!

6. If you do not finish your #BookSpin/#DoubleSpin book this month it is STILL ELIGIBLE for a giveaway entry as long as you complete it sometime in 2023!! There is space in the form for you both to put down what book you are SUPPOSED to read & then to check off which books you DID read! ⬇

8mo

TheAromaofBooks 7. Everyone is welcome to join this challenge!! If you wanted tagged & I missed you, it was completely inadvertent!! Please just let me know that you want to be added to the tag list. You can also let me know if you want to be removed - no hard feelings!! Feel free to jump in & out of this challenge as needed. Also, obviously, getting tagged doesn't mean you HAVE to actually participate!!

⬇
8mo

TheAromaofBooks 8 & final (FINALLY) - While I don't have time to reply to all of the comments to this post, I do read every one and love seeing which books got picked for you!! I do respond to any direct questions or confusion, so please feel free to ask away if something doesn't make sense or you need some clarifications. Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, and happy reading!!! 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @MatchlessMarie - I was blitzing through my tags before posting the numbers, and thought maybe I had finally just reached my quote of allowed “woohoos“ 😂 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @mrsmarch - Here it is!! https://forms.gle/tc6U17AuVw4ssG2v8 8mo

ChasingOm It‘s so funny that the spin and double spin keep being 10 apart. It means my spin and double spin are the same again this month. 😂 8mo

BarbaraJean Hahahaaa… I would be lost without my BookSpin numbers first thing on the 2nd of the month!! My #BookSpin is the first half of my next book for #ChunksterChallenge2023 (The Agony and the Ecstasy, which has been on my shelf since the early 2000s), and #DoubleSpin is Thursday Murder Club, an #AuldLangSpine pick. Excited about both spins! (But who knows when Thursday Murder will come in from the library… I‘m like 200th on the list 😂) 8mo

kellyann28 Yay my #bookspin is We Deserve Monuments and #doublespin is The Wrong Kind of Weird! 8mo

Soubhiville I got a little worried earlier too- what would we do without Litsy for a day 😱. Going to check my list right now. Happy Dance! 8mo

DieAReader 💜📚🤓Perfect post to wake up to! 8mo

ChaoticMissAdventures So excited! Sarah, can you add me to the tag list? Thanks! 8mo

kstadt929 Oh my goodness I thought it was just my Litsy and I was freaking out I wouldn‘t know the numbers 😂 On my way to go check my list to see what my books are ❤️ Thank you!! (edited) 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @ChaoticMissAdventures - Absolutely!!! 8mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @TheAromaofBooks 8mo

Deblovestoread My BookSpin in a “Booked23” prompt and DoubleSpin is “SeriesLove2023”. I‘m loving having a more open bingo board! 8mo

julieclair I will be reading The Time Traveller‘s Guide to Regency Britain and The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels. 😀 8mo

julieclair @Deblovestoread I like your idea of a “category” instead of a specific book. I may give that a try next month. 8mo

ChelseaM6010 Woohoo! Looks like my bookspin will be another #RoryGilmoreReadingChallenge book! And my doublespin is The Sanatorium!! 🥳 8mo

Clwojick Woohoo! 💖 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @julieclair - I really enjoyed the Wisteria Society. It's absolutely ridiculous, but somehow it works! 8mo

MeganAnn 🎉 10. The Hurricane, the #littensloveromance read for February so that‘s perfect. 20. Is my “Books from Mom” category which gives me a little flexibility as she‘s given me quite a variety. 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly Yay! My authors to read this month are Margo Lanagan and A. R. Capetta! 8mo

Larkken Hah! My BS this month may be a DNF - easy-peasy! 😅 8mo

Librarybelle I have Madly, Deeply and a #Booked2023 selection! 8mo

Littlewolf1 I think I feel off your list… I was not tagged 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @Littlewolf1 - Sorry about that!! I have you on my list, but sometimes Litsy gets wonky about tags!! 8mo

staci.reads Tagged is Bookspin, and Doublespin is The Art of Gathering

The Overstory: A Novel

8mo

Bookzombie Thank you for doing this every month! Tagged is my BS and my DS is Poison Study.

I‘m super excited that these 2 titles came up! My #BookSpin, The Secret Lives of Color, is a really interesting nonfiction that I started in the spring but put back on the shelf for some reason, and decided a few weeks ago that I wanted to finish it before the new year. And my #DoubleSpin, The Heiress, is one of our #Pemberlittens #chapteraday #buddyreads that I‘m really enjoying!

Singout My spin would have been Gods of Jade and Shadow, but I‘m switching that on #ReadingtheAmericas2023 list for The Daughter of Dr. Moreau by the same author, so I can include it in #Booked2023. It‘s not available, so I‘ll be reading my double spin, Under the Undala Trees, which I‘ve been putting off for a long time. (edited) 10mo

I'm a bit early this month with my December #bookspin list.
I'll be off on a cruise so I thought I'd get it up before I forget.
But it may change once I decide which books to take on the cruise.
There's some holiday cheer and more categories for the end of the year.

Super excited about this month‘s spins! My #bookspin is Pumpkin Heads which I reread every fall, and I had to sub my #doublespin cause one of last month‘s books that was due back at the library ended up on the list by accident so I picked the last one I added this month which is an audiobook of Sleepy Hollow. @TheAromaofBooks

Yay!! The moment you have all been waiting for! 😂 October's #BookSpin is NINE and the #DoubleSpin is TEN!!

Here is what I am going to do: I am going to go post the #BookSpinBingo board. Then I am going to come back here and tag everyone (which takes a hot minute haha) Then I am NOT going to tag anyone on the Bingo post. This saves me tagging time and keeps everyone from getting double-tagged. You all are smart! You can find the Bingo board!!😆 ⬇

TheAromaofBooks Below are a few housekeeping items that I would really appreciate if you took a few moments to read. As always, my new masterpost about both #BookSpin & #BookSpinBingo can be found on my blog - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge - & this link is always available in my profile as well. ⬇ 12mo

TheAromaofBooks 1. Remember, this is a no-pressure challenge!! You can read one or both of these books. You can bail on them. You can bail on the whole challenge and try again next month. Whatever works!! This is supposed to be fun not stressful!! ⬇ 12mo

TheAromaofBooks 2. I do have a giveaway at the end of the year. Every BookSpin or DoubleSpin book completed counts as an entry!! In the past, I have tracked these myself, but for 2022 YOU are in charge of tracking your own entries!! To help with this process, I have created a Google Form that can be found here - https://forms.gle/X57ePKzuHpsqLjE5A - You can use this Form two different ways: You can update it throughout the year OR you can wait and fill in ⬇ 12mo

Clare-Dragonfly Could you tag me in the bingo board post? I have a few tags blocked for one of the fall challenges (and apparently it‘s insufficient because I am STILL seeing stuff about the things people are WATCHING for it… argh…) so it doesn‘t show up for me, even on your page, unless you tag me. @Megabooks Maybe that‘s your problem as well? 12mo

claudiuo Thank you so much! Just what I was thinking about!
[Edit] Earlier when I posted I was just happy that we have the numbers, this is really the highlight of each month's beginning for me. Now that I actually had a chance to look at the books behind these numbers... Wow! Both are books I started way back and read on and off, only a couple chapters left in each. Oh, the serendipity! The Beekeeper's Apprentice and The Stone Sky! (edited) 2y

mrsmarch I sat down to have a muffin and coffee before starting the morning and saw I was tagged by you in a post and literally exclaimed, “Oooo!” Thank you for brightening my day! 2y

sprainedbrain I actually sort of love that my BookSpin and doublespin are both books I probably would have otherwise sacrificed if I had to cut some. I will read them for sure now! 2y

rockpools If I didn‘t know better, I‘d think you‘d done that deliberately! For my bookspin, I‘ll be reading something that I‘m not sure is my thing: I‘ll be finishing The Books of Jacob. It‘s a HUGE chunkster, so all of my free spaces will probably be filled by this one as well! My doublespin will be the 3rd book from the left on the International Booker Prize longlist when it‘s published next week. 2y

CaitZ Mine are Murder in an Irish Village and Nefertiti 2y

marleed I prioritize but BS and DS every month with a typical goal to read all 20 books on my list. I include some new library holds hoping they‘ll drop while allowing my eyes to wonder from my own damn shelves. This is the first time both BS and DS are new and unowned books! BS - The Club. DS - One Night on the Island 2y

March #bookspin plans

I jumped down to books 201-220 on my GR TBR list for these selections. Even though bingos are highly unlikely for me (I read too slowly!), compiling these lists are shedding a light on forgotten books and getting me to read more off my TBR 🙌
