TheAromaofBooks's blurb on Start Spinning

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. ⬇ 2y

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!! ⬇ 2y

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 ⬇ 2y

See All 56 Comments

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 ⬇ 2y

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 ⬇
2y

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 2022!! 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! ⬇
2y

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!!

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!!! 2y

Lcsmcat My bookspin is The Beet Queen; doublespin is In the Darkroom. Thanks for continuing to do this! 2y

Soubhiville Thanks Sarah! I‘ll be reading Far From the Tree and Only Killers and Thieves. 📚❤️😊 (edited) 2y

vlwelser I got Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line and Obit. They're library books so I was on a timer anyway. 2y

sprainedbrain Hahaha tagging a lot of people is not easy!! Good idea. 😂 2y

claudiuo Thank you so much! My BookSpin is The Shadow of the Wind and DoubleSpin is God Bless You, Mr Rosewater which came up before and I still haven‘t read it yet. 2y

Megabooks Apparently I am not smart and can‘t find the bingo board…has it not been posted yet? I am on your page. Glad you‘re saving time because I REALLY appreciate that you take time to do this each month!!!! It is such a fun challenge!!! 2y

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? 2y

Allylu Mine are The Thursday Murder Club by Osman and A Wedding in Haiti by Alvarez. 2y

Megabooks @Clare-Dragonfly thanks for tip! Once I unmuted scarathalon, I could see it. I‘ll just remute it now that I have the board. 2y

Kristin_Reads The bookiverse must really want me to read this because it was my pick last month too but I wasn‘t able to get to it. I‘m looking forward to it!

Island of Missing Trees

TheAromaofBooks @Megabooks @Clare-Dragonfly - I didn't think about people having tags blocked for the October challenge (which I totally understand doing if you aren't actually interested in the event haha) I would never have puzzled out why you couldn't see the post, so I'm glad you figured it out!!! 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly - I tagged you, so let me know if you still can't see it!! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly Thank you!!! I can see it now! 2y

sebrittainclark Bookspin: The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2022
Doublebookspin: Kiss Her Once for Me 2y

FelinesAndFelonies Great idea. 2y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Sweet! I'll be reading a New-To-Me Literary Magazine (now I have to pick one of the many out there) and Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake. 2y

robinb Thanks Sarah. 😊 Joy for Beginners is #BookSpin. It‘s from an author I‘ve been meaning to get back to and I just figured out I was having a “senior” moment when I put Birds of a Feather on my list as I‘ve already read it. 😂 Ugh!! I‘m subbing in the next in series (Pardonable Lies) instead. (edited) 2y

BarbaraJean BookSpin is tagged and DoubleSpin is Embassytown by China Mieville—two challenge reads for me! @Megabooks @Clare-Dragonfly Thanks for the heads up about not being able to see the bingo post—I had the same problem since I have the same tag muted! I‘m on my phone so it‘s a pain to go unmute, but I found it by clicking on the #BookSpinBingo tag and scrolling down. 🎉

TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraJean - Apparently I picked the wrong month to skip on the tagging thing! 😂 I'm glad everyone is finding the post nonetheless!!! 2y

BarbaraJean Haha… like you said, we are smart! We are finding the post! You‘re just making us do our part. 😆 2y

i.besteph Hi. Can you remove me from the tag list? Thanks :) 2y

TheAromaofBooks @I.besteph - Absolutely!! If you decide you want to play along again later, just let me know!! 2y

i.besteph @TheAromaofBooks Great! I will 2y
