The Pink Motel

Visited 7 more states in June. I've pretty much given up on reading Europe but #ReadtheUSA2020 is going strong!! Sitting at 26 states so right on track!!

@Andrew65

TheAromaofBooks @Catherine_Willoughby - yes, the Europe tag is #ReadingEurope2020 & it's being hosted by the same ladies who hosted #ReadingtheUSA2019. The 2020 USA is just a couple of us who missed it last year & are doing it for fun - no official host. Europe is being hosted by @LibraryBelle and @BarbaraBB, but since I've only read 6 countries, I don't think I'm going to accomplish that challenge this year haha 4y

BarbaraBB @Catherine_Willoughby You are very welcome to join us! 4y

Librarybelle Yes, @Catherine_Willoughby , you are very welcome to join us! If you search #ReadingEurope2020 , you‘ll see so many great book suggestions for the different countries. 4y

Catherine_Willoughby Will check it out . 4y

UwannaPublishme @TheAromaofBooks I‘d say it‘s uplifting. But I‘m with you. Humor books are the best reads right now for me too. 4y

So one of my daydreams is to own my own happy little motel, and I have recently begun to wonder if it's because I read books like this one as a child!! Kirby's parents inherit a motel in Florida, and there are many shenanigans. The story is honestly adorable and perfect for readers just starting chapter books, as it is exciting without being stressful, if that makes sense haha

This one took me to Florida for #ReadtheUSA2020!! @Andrew65

LauraBrook I remember reading this as a child and loving it too! Oh man, I‘m going to have to see if I own a copy, or if I need to go book shopping. 4y

Tomorrow is the day!!

Still time to post your lists if you are interested in joining! Everyone is welcome to come along & there is no pressure - feel free to read 1, 2, 20, or anywhere in between! Most of us who are doing the #BookSpinBonanza are just seeing how far through our lists we can get - it's just for fun!!

If you have posted a list or review & I have not COMMENTED on it, please tag me again. ⬇ ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Sometimes Litsy doesn't notify me & sometimes my brain just misses the notification! Don't be afraid to give me a lil nudge to make sure you are on the list!!

From the looks of everyone's lists, my TBR is going to grow a lot in May! Can't wait to see everyone's reviews!! 4y

HeyT I am so hype for this but with my luck all my chunksters will be drawn first lol 4y

ErinSBecker I can't wait!!! 4y

Gissy Yes! 🙌 4y

JamieArc I will be checking for the numbers! I just finished a book and am making myself wait until the book spin numbers to start the next! 4y

Eggs Let‘s do this 💃 4y

BeansPage @TheAromaofBooks can you please explain to me how #bookspin works? Pretty please with a cherry on top 🍒😊 4y

TheAromaofBooks @SumisBooks - So it's a pretty simple challenge to encourage people to read books they've been meaning to read anyway! Every month, anyone who wants to makes a list of books they want to read & numbers them 1-20 (& tags me!) & then on the 2nd of every month I draw 2 numbers randomly & everyone tries to read those two books from their lists. This month we are doing a bonus challenge - I drew all 20 numbers & some of us are seeing how far through ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) our lists we can get!! Others are choosing to just read the usual 1-2 books - it's pretty much just whatever works best for people!! Anyone can join so just let me know if you want to be added to the tag list - you can also join this month by making your list of 20 before looking at the numbers!! @SumisBooks 4y

BeansPage @TheAromaofBooks okay I think I get it. So the original list of 20 books is for the entire year correct? Then essentially you pick 1-2 books to read at random each month. Have I got this right? 4y

TheAromaofBooks @SumisBooks - Actually, all 20 numbers are in play each month. Some people use the same list & replace read books; some people double numbers for books that have been read; & some people (like me haha) make an entirely new list every month! 4y

BeansPage @TheAromaofBooks oh okay I get it now! Awesome. So how would I start this month? Do I choose 20 books, assign them each a number and then choose at random from a hat? 4y

TheAromaofBooks @SumisBooks - You can make your list, and then see which numbers I drew this month. My most recent posts are all #BookSpin related, because I just drew the numbers yesterday!! So you can see the official #BookSpin number, the #DoubleSpin number, and then ALL the numbers for #BookSpinBonanza if you want to go crazy!! Just tag me with your list & any reviews of books you read from it!! 4y
