SO Saturday is looking crazy-busy, starting with a hike that has a 6am departure time because my dad is crazy 😂 Consequently, I've decided that since it's actually already September 2 for half the world, that's good enough, and I am posting the numbers TONIGHT!!! Surprise!!!

This month's #BookSpin is TWELVE and #DoubleSpin is FOURTEEN!!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo board!! I am NOT tagging anyone in that post!! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. 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. ⬇
4w
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong.

As always, the link to the masterpost about how this challenge works can be found on my profile or here - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - and the link to the Google Form where you can track your reads for the end-of-the-year-giveaway can be found here - https://forms.gle/tc6U17AuVw4ssG2v8
4w
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always have time to reply to them all!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and for making this challenge SO much fun!!

I'm going to post the Bingo board, and then come back and start the tag list on this post. Happy reading!!!

Is Litsy attempting to sabotage #BookSpin?? This is the second month in a row that the site has been down on the morning of the 2nd! 😂 But here are, finally, March's numbers!! #BookSpin is TWENTY and #DoubleSpin is SEVENTEEN!!!

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. This saves me having to double tag everyone/keep track of who wants ⬇

TheAromaofBooks 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 username wrong.


7mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Below are a few housekeeping items that I post every month INCLUDING the link to the 2023 Google Form where you can track your entries for the end-of-the-year giveaway!! As always, my 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.

Odds & Ends Below!!
7mo
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!! ⬇ 7mo
See All 58 Comments
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 2023 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/GEr6BBnRebECsk8V9 - You can use this Form two different ways: You can update it throughout the year OR you can wait and fill in ⬇ (edited) 7mo
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 ⬇ 7mo
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!!

3. 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!!

4. For the giveaway, DNFs do count!! The goal for #BookSpin is to get a book off your TBR, so if you decide not to ⬇
7mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) finish it, it's still off the TBR and still counts as a completion in my book!!

5. 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! ⬇
7mo
TheAromaofBooks 6. 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!! 7mo
TheAromaofBooks 7 & 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!!! 7mo
Bookwormjillk I thought it was down for last month too, but wasn‘t sure if I imagined that. 7mo
BookishMadHatter Awesome, thanks so much @TheAromaofBooks My picks this month are Lunatic by Onley James and Gin and Daggers by Donald Bain & Jessica Fletcher (yay Murder, She Wrote lol) 7mo
AmyG Hooray!!!! Thank you! 7mo
TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - It's mostly funny because I'm on Litsy at more or less the same time every morning because I am a creature of very strong habits, so it was definitely down last month and this month, but I don't remember it happening any time in between 😂 So it MUST be personal! 😆 7mo
BarkingMadRead Hooray! I‘m all caught up for January and February, and my books for March are Nancy Drew and Mad Honey! 7mo
Lcsmcat It‘s all of us obsessively checking to see if you‘ve posted the numbers yet making Litsy crash from the heavy traffic. 😂 Thanks for pushing through. 7mo
Read-y_Picker @Lcsmcat My first thought as well lol! 7mo
Allylu Ooh! My #BS is Three Keys by Kelly Yang, book 2 in her Front Desk series - a middle grade that I‘m looking forward to reading. My #DS is Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano which I am reading right now! #BookSpin Day is so exciting at our house!! Thank you, Sarah! 🥳📚💕🎶 7mo
claudiuo Same here @Lcsmcat 😎 Thank you so much for posting the numbers, both my picks are books I meant to read since early last year. Thank you! 7mo
TheSpineView IK! I kept thinking is was my phone. Then my hubby, my tech support guy, said he thought the sight was down. 7mo
Eggs Thanks Sarah❤️ #Bookspin is War Stories by Gordon Korman, and #Doublespin is Float Plan by Trish Doller 😊 7mo
bookandbedandtea Thanks for persevering, Sarah! 😁 7mo
Elizabeth2 Ha! The universe is trying to tell me something. #20 & #17 are from the same series - the Scot Harvath series by Brad Thor, and the double spin from February was too (and I didn't get to it because my library didn't have the next in the series available). I guess I need to make that series a priority this month. :) Thanks for all your efforts in putting together this challenge! 7mo
BarbaraJean BookSpin is my IRL book club pick for the month, Noor by Nnedi Okorafor, and DoubleSpin is the next MurderBot book, Fugitive Telemetry (which will catch me up on that series 🎉)! I‘m sad the spins skipped over all my #MiddleGradeMarch picks, but it‘s nice they landed on a couple of short books since I‘m starting Count of Monte Cristo this month! 7mo
julieclair @Lcsmcat My thoughts exactly! 🤪 📚💥 7mo
julieclair I'm excited for this month's picks! I constructed my list a bit more loosely this month, to give me some room for mood reads. So my Bookspin is a choice from #TBRDeckofCards and my Doublespin will be a Series Read. Now I just need to decide what kind of mood I am in, lol! 7mo
BeckyWithTheGoodBooks Thank you, Sarah! My #bookspin is Papillon and #doublespin is The Wife Between Us! 😀 7mo
Deblovestoread Thank you! Have a lovely day 💜 7mo
Librarybelle Yay! I have a #ReadingTheAmericas2023 selection and a #52BookClub23 selection as my spins! 7mo
Lucy_Anywhere Thank you! 7mo
robinb Yay!! One is next in series (and I‘ve just recently finished the previous one so I‘ll be able to remember what‘s going on 😂😂), and the other is also next in series of a favorite series! Thanks Sarah! 7mo
ChelseaM6010 Yay!! My #bookspin is The Many Deaths of Laila Starr and my #Doublespin is a Cormac McCarthy book, Child of God. 🙂 7mo
Bookzombie Um, so I was off yesterday and I kept check Litsy for the numbers. I almost messaged you to see if you were okay and then I realized it was the 1st. 😂 My BS is The Brass Queen and DS is 7mo
LeafingThroughLife All of us manically refreshing your feed on book spin morning trying to find out what we can expect to read this month must just be too taxing for Litsy‘s servers. 🤣 7mo
Bklover Oooh, my bookspin is A Deeper Darkness! ❤️❤️❤️Thanks Sarah! 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly Woohoo! Karen Healey and Mary Robinette Kowal! 7mo
TheAromaofBooks @Bookzombie - It's good to know I'd be missed if something happened 😂 In fairness, it would have to be a pretty drastic life event for me to miss BookSpin day!!! 7mo
mrsmarch So thus far in 2023 we‘ve had 7 & 17, 10 & 20, and now 17 & 20! 7mo
IamIamIam @mrsmarch Haha, I just noticed that too! 7mo
IamIamIam I've got fiction by a male author and just fiction. Going to be an easy month! Lol 7mo
Megabooks I noticed that too @mrsmarch ! Next month will be 7 10! (edited) 7mo

BookNerd9906 I would love to join this challenge. I‘ve been eyeing these posts for months and finally went to the link and read the instructions and made my list! 7mo
TheAromaofBooks @BookNerd9906 - Yay!! Glad to have you along!! I've added you to the tag list, so you'll get a reminder about a week before I post the new numbers, and then tagged when each month's numbers go up!! 😁 7mo

Repost for @TheAromaofBooks

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is TWELVE!! Our official #DoubleSpin number is FIFTEEN!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone's lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!

TheAromaofBooks Thank you for the repost!!! 1y
Allylu Well, I just finished reading my #DS 15 Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. I loved it, loved it, loved it! My #BS 12 is To: Night Owl From: Dogfish which is one of the books I chose to read from the #SummerReadingGuide on Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club. I'm really enjoying being part of that group, too. So nice to have bookish friends. 1y
willaful I finally got a number that's an actual title! I bought this one on a whim because it looked like the sort of oldie I enjoy. We shall see! 1y

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 ⬇ 1y

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 ⬇ 1y
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 ⬇

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! ⬇

thereadingpal Hello, I've seen this around a lot... Can I join for next month? 1y
TheAromaofBooks @thereadingpal - Absolutely!! I'll add you to the tag list!! And you're also welcome to play this month, too, if you want - all you need is a list of 20 books, or count off books on your shelf, or whatever works!! Just let me know if you have any questions - either way, I have you on the list for July!! 1y
thereadingpal @TheAromaofBooks i think I'll join this month as well actually. I made a list of books I want to read the other day (longer than 20 books but eh) and the books that came out with those numbers are pretty short. I'm gonna make a post about it 1y
TheAromaofBooks @thereadingpal - Perfect!! Feel free to tag me whenever you make a BookSpin-related post!! I also have an end-of-the-year giveaway and all BookSpin & DoubleSpin completions count as entries!! There is a Google Form where you can track your entries if you're interested, which is linked in one of the first comments on this post. 😊 1y
thereadingpal @TheAromaofBooks idk if i can enter the giveaway because I'm Italian, but I'll participate in the fun! 1y
TheAromaofBooks @thereadingpal - As long as The Book Depository will ship to your country, then you're eligible!! I just have the winners send me a shortlist of books they wish they owned, and pick one of them and have it shipped to them directly so that way the giveaway can be international as well!! 1y
thereadingpal @TheAromaofBooks Oh perfect, then! thank you :D 1y
melzen Perfect! So exited :) 1y
tokorowilliamwallace I mostly listed out one pick from each of the recent hauls I've made recently (which is a lot) so I can get relatively caught-up in what I buy/acquire and reading moods I should get to already and focus on. Lots of quotes from the book I started yesterday coming. 1y
VeganCleopatra I just realized I didn't post my list when I thought I had! Is it ok if I still just take the numbers from the list I made or do you want a late list posted? 🤦‍♀️ 1y
TheAromaofBooks @VeganCleopatra - It's never too late to BookSpin!!! You are definitely welcome to use these numbers. You can post your list if you want to or not if you don't feel like it - no worries!!! 1y
VeganCleopatra Thanks! I can't believe I forgot to post it. I'll post now just for continuance. 1y

This is an American classic, written by an American author, but is the story of a girl of Swedish descent. She has a gift for music and works hard all her life on mastering her piano playing and later singing. She is rewarded for her efforts with success. She never forgets her beginnings though and her family back home. #2 #BS 8 #BookSpinBingo #BFC22 #JUMPSTART2022 #AClassicAMonth #LiterALLyBOOKish #Pantone2022ColourChallenge #Wintercosy

Read the first of these stories about two disillusioned individuals escaping their professions and finding each other in a ski resort in Denver. It was amusing and had a satisfying ending - just what I want from a holiday short story! #150 #BookSpinBingo #10 #BS #BFC21 #DashingDecember #CSReadathon #RIF #Jinglebellathon #Cosyathon #TheFestiveReadathon #CYO #MERRY&BRIGHT #MerryBookmas #AVeryMerryBingo #AnyWayYouReadathon #Wintercosy #AVeryMerryRead
