Spinning in Time | Joselyn Ignacio
post image

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

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 ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) 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 username wrong. ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) 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/4kTBMWAsCa9Cvmqs6

Thanks for playing, everyone!! Please know that I read EVERY comment on this post but don't always ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) 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!!!

Today after getting my nails done I popped in to the op shop next-door to see whether I could find myself a Georgette Heyer @LeahBergen . I did not find a Heyer, but I did find these two 😍. For $2 each! #bookhaul #winning

BarbaraBB What I loved is so good!! 2mo
LeahBergen Well, those are some good finds! Let me know if you can‘t find a Heyer… I‘ll send you one! 😘 2mo
MrsMalaprop Thanks @LeahBergen I‘m sure I‘ll find one. Especially with @rissreads sending me links to book sales in our town. She‘s such a bad influence 🙄😂 2mo

MrsMalaprop @BarbaraBB That book keeps coming up & then I spotted it today. 🙏 2mo
CarolynM Keep looking out for the Heyer‘s, you are bound to find a few soon. And I agree with @BarbaraBB about What I Loved. 2mo
Rissreads I‘m on the hunt for you now Serena! It won‘t take us long! 🤣 2mo
Rissreads So what Heyer are we looking for? Which are the best @LeahBergen ? 2mo
Rissreads Which would you recommend @CarolynM ? 2mo
CoffeeK8 Venetia is good! My favorite is 2mo
LeahBergen @Rissreads Let‘s see … maybe be on the lookout for Cotillion, The Grand Sophy, Frederica, Arabella, These Old Shades (this one is Georgian era rather than Regency), or The Corinthian. Or whatever you can find! 😆😆 I‘ve actually not read Venetia yet but it seems to be a favourite of a lot of Heyer fans. Happy hunting! 2mo
CarolynM @Rissreads I‘ve only read a couple of the romances so I‘m not much help with those. The mysteries will be harder to find but, for what it‘s worth, No Wind of Blame and Behold Here‘s Poison are my favourites.🙂 2mo
LeahBergen @CarolynM I‘ll make a note of these titles! 👍 2mo

Ok #hashtagbrigade our November book is tagged here, how fun is this cover? Hopefully the large print doesn‘t drive me nuts! Drop a comment below to be tagged! I didn‘t choose a book for December because of the holiday craziness, but if y‘all want to pick something with a holiday theme, I‘m more than happy to lead the discussion like always 🤷🏻‍♀️ #pemberlittens

ravenlee I‘ve got mine! 5mo

Bookwormjillk I‘m in! I‘m fine with skipping December, but will join if everyone else wants to read something. 5mo
CatLass007 I‘ve got my copy. And ditto what @Bookwormjillk said about December. 5mo
IndoorDame I‘m in! 5mo
jenniferw88 I'm sitting out this one (& probably December if you do choose one), but tag me for Don Quixote, please! 5mo
Librarybelle I‘m in for November. And, like @Bookwormjillk and @CatLass007 I‘m good with taking off December, unless someone has an idea for a December title. Are there any really good novellas set in the holiday season??? 5mo
kspenmoll I love Pym- would love to join in. 5mo
AnnR I'm in for November and have a Kindle copy ready to go. 🙂 Otherwise, plan to sit out December, either way. 5mo
Cuilin I‘m in. 5mo
TheBookHippie I‘m in and I love it !!! 5mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍😍 5mo
mcctrish I‘m going to skip until the New Year because can‘t keep up and it makes me sad 5mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish awwww don‘t stress about it!! We will see you in January!! 5mo
Ruthiella I‘m going to read along. Love Barbara Pym! ❤️ Edited to add - agree to skip December and give everyone a breather! (edited) 5mo
eeclayton Definitely count me in for the Pym, but I too am okay with taking a break in December. 5mo
AnnR Although we immensely enjoy the daily #hashtagbrigade, it might be nice for @BarkingMadRead to have a break in December, too. 🙂 (edited) 5mo
BarkingMadRead @AnnR that‘s sweet, but I‘m good either way! 5mo
AnnR 👍📚😀 5mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig November perfect for Pym. Count me in! 5mo
CatLass007 Anne Perry has written a good number of Christmas cozy mysteries. If you have Audible, they‘re included with your subscription. And it looks like they‘re available on Kindle. Just a thought. 5mo
Bklover I‘m in for November. Either way is fine for December. Can‘t wait for Don Quixote!!!! 5mo
peanutnine I'm excited for November, I really enjoyed the last Pym we read. My library has the audio available through hoopla 🩷 5mo
peanutnine Also this cover is hilarious! 🫗😅 5mo
BarkingMadRead @Bklover @jenniferw88 Don Quixote will be led by @TheAromaofBooks the #hashtagbrigade will be reading Brothers Karamazov in January 5mo
Velvetfur Am I the only one seeing the author's name Pym looking like Pimm's as in a glass of....?! 5mo
dabbe In for Pym, vote for break in December. 💙 5mo
jenniferw88 @BarkingMadRead @Bklover ah, sorry for causing any confusion. 5mo
Bklover Oh yeah!! Oops!! Looking forward to that one too! 5mo
BarkingMadRead @jenniferw88 no worries, our schedules are similar, it‘s an easy mistake to make! 5mo
CatLass007 My best girlfriend, Dave, (who is a CIS gendered gay man, and I like to tease him. He used to be my best friend, Dave, the Staten Island Fairy, but now he lives in Manhattan), said he had just finished rereading all of his Barbara Pym books. He says she‘s delightful, entertaining, and nothing ever happens. Sometimes that‘s exactly what a person needs when they need a break. 5mo
BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 that will be so perfect for all of us, we will be scarred from Tess 🤣🤣 5mo
AnneCecilie Please tag me for me this one. I bought it back in May just to make sure I had it 😀 5mo
CatLass007 Yes. 5mo
rubyslippersreads I‘m in for the Pym, and am open to whatever everyone else wants to do for December. 5mo
BarkingMadRead 😍😍😍 5mo
TheAromaofBooks Yes, I'm in for this one!!! 5mo
TheAromaofBooks @jenniferw88 @Bklover - We've got classics everywhere right now 😂 😂 😂 I have you both down for Don Quixote. I don't post nearly as regularly as @BarkingMadRead but I'll be checking in a few times a week!! We are going two chapters/day for that one - it's CHONKY! 5mo
julieclair Yay! I love Barbara Pym! I‘m definitely in. And, just looking at that cover, I know I will love this book! I vote for a break in December. 5mo
Bklover @TheAromaofBooks It‘s a big one! I do better with the big ones when I read it in a group! 5mo
bthegood I'd like to be added for this read please - thank you! 5mo
TheAromaofBooks @Bklover - Me too!!! I've been amazed at how buddy reads have helped me get through some books I would NOT have finished otherwise!! 😂 And just chipping away at one-two chapters/day really helps me. The only way I got through Gone With the Wind was by telling myself JUST ONE CHAPTER!!! 5mo
Daisey I‘m planning on joining the Don Quixote read, so I don‘t think I want to be tagged on this one daily. However, I‘m still considering trying to fit a straight through listen in somewhere in the month as I do want to read more Pym. 5mo
BarkingMadRead @Daisey I can always add you later if guys change your mind! I can also add you now and remove you if you need me to! 5mo
TheAromaofBooks Oh hey, are we doing just one chapter a day for this one? All my buddy reads are starting to run together!! 😂 5mo
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks yea! There are less than 30! #winning 5mo
TheAromaofBooks Sweet!!! Thanks!! 😁 5mo
rwmg Is this a chapter a day read through? 5mo
BarkingMadRead @rwmg yes, we are reading a chapter a day 5mo
rwmg OK count me in. I'll catch up over the weekend. Whether I can restrain myself from reading ahead is another matter 5mo
BarkingMadRead @rwmg we have all been guilty of reading ahead! 5mo
