Last book for the month, finished yesterday. Here's my updated board for #bookspingbingo I'll make a list/board for Nov but with travel idk. @TheAromaofBooks

#23 FREE

3.5 🌟
A retelling of The Great God Pan. Although I never read it, im thankful the author included a description at the end. Enough gore & horror to satisfy me, but I wasn't overly in love with the characters. The pace felt a bit scattered. Overalll a solid October read.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Fabulous month!!! 5mo

Terrible photo and messy handwriting, but my dark and spooky #Bookspingbingo list for October. Indigenous and Mexican authors and some well known writers I‘ve not yet read. Early bird points for #scarathlon @Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks #TeamBOOklovers

AnnCrystal 💕💝👍. At least some of those should be on my tbr list...Look forward to reading your reviews ☺️. (edited) 6mo

Traveling. Here‘s my quick #Bookspin #BookspingBingo list. Will be traveling and sightseeing more thank reading but hope to finish a couple books focused on Iceland and Ireland while on my adventure! @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 8mo
bibliothecarivs Can you explain to me how #BookSpinBingo works? I've been on Litsy for a while now and many people talk about their lists but how are they used exactly? 8mo
SamAnne @bibliothecarivs sorry for the slow reply! It‘s hosted the @TheAromaofBooks it‘s a fun game to get books off your TBR list. Make a list of 20 books. Host pulls two number randomly, your #bookspin read and your #doublespin read if you want to read two. Gather numbers are all thrown back into the mix and she creates a bingo board for folks who want to try for bingos. Follow tagged host here and watch for her posts on Aug. 2! 8mo
TheAromaofBooks @bibliocarivs - @SamAnne did a great job explaining, and if you need more details, I overexplain the challenge here 😂 - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - if you want to join, just make your list of books and tag me when you do!!! 8mo

This was okay. A fake relationship. I like drama but here was used to drag the story. There were funny and cute parts but I found the romance a little boring🥱

Hey, friends!! I am planning to take the #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo challenges into 2023 and would be thrilled if you would like to join me!!! (NOTE: That thing that looks like a pizza is supposed to be a spinner 😂) The challenge is going to remain basically the same as it has in 2022. I will again be asking everyone to track their own BookSpin/DoubleSpin reads for the giveaway entries - if anyone has any suggestions for improving the form or ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) making it easier to use, please let me know!! In 2023 I will NOT be tagging people separately for Bingo. Instead, I will do like I have done the last couple of months where I tag everyone for the BookSpin post, and then anyone who wishes to participate in Bingo will know that that also means the Bingo board as been posted as well, and they can find it on their own lol I am getting lazy in my old age!! ⬇ 1y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) If you are new to the challenge and want to know what it is all about, here is a link to the details about how it works - https://thearomaofbooks.wordpress.com/bookspin-bookspinbingo-litsy-challenge/ - and I am always available for questions by commenting on any of my posts or emailing me at itsthegoodlife15 at gmail. ⬇ (edited) 1y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) To sign up for 2023, all you need to do is comment below and let me know you want to be on the tag list. THIS IS A BRAND NEW TAG LIST AND YOU WILL ONLY BE ON IT IF YOU COMMENT BELOW!! This is my way of cleaning up my old tag list so that I‘m no longer tagging people who aren‘t interested or who aren‘t active on Litsy anymore. ⬇ (edited) 1y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) As always, thank you all SO MUCH for making this challenge so successful! I genuinely love see everyone‘s lists, bingo boards, and reviews, and it‘s so encouraging to me to have people tell me that this challenge is helping them read down their TBRs. I love seeing how creative people get with how they organize their lists. Getting to know all of you a little better has been so delightful, and I‘m excited about another year of seeing ⬇ 1y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) what the BookSpin Fates want us all to read!!!

I'm tagging everyone from my 2022 list. Also, remember - no worries if this is no longer your thing!! People come and go and that is A-OK. ❤ Looking forward to January already!!!

Gissy Do I have to access the 2023 form now or Do I need to wait until the end December? 1y
TheAromaofBooks @Gissy - I haven't posted the 2023 form yet, so the 2022 form is the only one available. I'm going to wait until I close the 2022 entries before opening the 2023 form to try and avoid confusion since they are going to look pretty much exactly alike 😂 1y
smallthings I would like to join in :) 1y
Gissy @TheAromaofBooks Yes, that works perfectly 🤗 1y
VeganCleopatra Sorry for the late comment, I would like to be included please! Did I miss a post with a link to the 2023 Google Form? I looked but did not see it. Also, do I need to include my address on the 2022 form or can I wait to see if I win? Thanks! 1y
kimmypete1 Include me please! 1y
TheAromaofBooks @VeganCleopatra - I haven't linked the 2023 form yet as I wanted to close the 2022 form first to help keep people from getting confused with multiple links going around!! I was having people include their addresses so that I know who wants to actually be counted for the giveaway and who is just using the form for their own records. But if you want, instead of your address, please just put in something like 'contact me if I win' so I know you want⬇ 1y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) to be included for the giveaway!! The 2023 form will be posted on the 2nd when I announce January's numbers. 1y
SheReadsAndWrites I would love to be a part of the Bookspin bingo for 2023 but don't need to be part of a giveaway-I just want to engage more on Litsy and get motivated to read more this year. 🤓 1y
TheAromaofBooks @SheReadsAndWrites - The giveaway is 100% optional!! I have also set the form up so that people can use it to track their BookSpin reads without submitting personal info for the giveaway, so you are free to use the form or not - whatever system works best for you!! 1y
VeganCleopatra Thank you! As always, appreciate all your effort and responses! 1y
Lesanne @TheAromaofBooks I recently came back to Litsy and I would love to start back with #Bookspin so please re-add me to the tag list!! 😇 13mo
TheAromaofBooks @Lesanne - Absolutely!! Glad to have you back!! 13mo

I finally had some time to update my It's a Mystery Bingo card and put the titles in the proper order for #bookspingbingo. Now I just need to check and see how close I am to an actual bingo. My other bookspingbingo card is not looking good, so I'm hoping I'm at least getting close with this one.

I enjoyed this book but to say they‘re all “lies” across America is an exaggeration. Many of the examples in the book are “omissions of historical facts across America.” The book also goes on a bit too long and gets a bit redundant at times, but I enjoyed it even if it was nowhere near as riveting as the author‘s original work. 3.5/5
