I‘m glad you reminded us @TheAromaofBooks because I‘ve been too busy to think about #bookspin these last few weeks!

Since my books are currently all in boxes, these are all on Libby or my ereader, with the exception of two which are saved out. The last two on the list are for bookclubs. 🙂

AmyG Wishing you all the best! 2w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Hope you get to unpack your books soon!!! 2w

July‘s #bookspin comes from a very limited selection, since I‘ve packed all but 3 of my books 😱. The other are audio from Libby and Libro.FM. If I happen to have enough time for more there‘s always my kindle or the library! Hopefully my shelves will be set back up by the end of July. 📚

TheAromaofBooks Best wishes on the moving!! My husband is hoping to finish building our library shelves this weekend - it's been sooooo fun to start getting books settled into their new home!! 1mo
Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks post lots of photos! We all want to see the results! 1mo

Soubhiville @Hooked_on_books thanks! The builders just let me know the counters will start being installed on Monday, so we should be able to close on time: July 10th. I‘m so excited!!! 1mo

June‘s #bookspin I‘m keeping it more simple as I prepare to move. 1-10 and repeat the same books for 11-20. I may lean towards more audio than usual while I‘m packing. I hope I have time for all 3 of my book club books and one for #authoramonth, we‘ll see!

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

tpixie Good luck packing. Are you staying in Texas? 2mo

I can‘t believe it‘s time for May‘s #bookspin list already! Where has the year gone?

Here is yet another “slice of my bookshelves”, plus a few options for my topic bookclub: May‘s topic is a book with a map. And Advice for Future Corpses is for another bookclub.

What will @TheAromaofBooks choose for us this time?

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3mo

I‘m continuing my 2025 #bookspin “slices of my bookshelves” journey with yellow and green spines on my paperback and hardcover fiction shelves and just 2 greenish nonfiction. What will @TheAromaofBooks pull for our April numbers?

I will definitely be reading The Bees for my bookclub.

AmyG Omg…it‘s almost April already. What? 4mo
TheAromaofBooks I'm pretending it isn't almost April 😂 4mo

Continuing with my #bookspin trend for the year, here is part of the blue paperback section of my TBR shelves. I will definitely be reading Shadow and Bone for #AuthorAMonth and Last Rites for bookclub. What else will @TheAromaofBooks pull out for me?

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 5mo
AmyG So, my last letter to you came back to me even though I had the correct address. I am sending it back to you with another letter. I didn‘t forget you. 😘 5mo
Soubhiville @AmyG That‘s strange, but even the post office makes mistakes sometimes. How are you feeling? Fully recovered yet? 5mo
AmyG Yes, sometimes a letter slips through 🤷‍♀️. And…feeling pretty good. Cough is better but not yet gone. 5mo
AmyG Tha k you for asking. 5mo

Second book read November 2024

Second book in this Gilded duology of Rumpelstiltskin retelling.

Liked it but not loving it. Again, I think the story was dragged just to justify a second book?😕This is so common now🫤Because of this dragging story there were parts I was interested and others that I was bored because of this repetitive pattern when the story is dragged.
Love both editions.

/3.5⭐️

Gissy Book read for my local book club mostly YA books #TheForgottenBookClub 7mo

I had fun tracking my #Bookspin books with this graphic this year. I skipped October because of the hurricane. #Bookspin continues to be my favorite challenge. I always look forward to the drawings on the second of the month. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks !

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Fabulous progress this year!! And I SUPPOSE a horrific natural disaster is an okay excuse for skipping some spins 😂 But seriously, I haven't heard as much news coming up from NC now that the holidays are in full swing - have most people had power/water restored? Last I heard, many of the rural areas were still struggling. 8mo
Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks there are still areas without water and power. Still bridges and big chunks of roadways gone. Still folks living in tents. The city of Asheville has water back and it‘s safe to use again, but you‘re correct that the rural areas still need a lot of work. I have heard that FEMA has begun getting housing in for some families though, and many organizations have gotten donations of tiny houses and RVs. But more are needed. 8mo
Soubhiville It‘s sad but unsurprising that national media moved on so quickly. As we‘ve seen in so many cases before: Katrina, Flint Michigan, etc. 8mo
AmyG People have such short attention spans….and so does the media. 😥 Loved seeing all your books! 8mo
TheAromaofBooks Thank you for sharing an update - at least things are still moving forward, however slowly. Hopefully people are able to get the help they need!! So scary. 8mo
