June wasn't a *great* reading month -- no #bookspin or #doublespin -- but I did manage to get a rare #bookspinbingo, so...YAY!
I *was* able to finish both #camplitsy selections (although, shamefully, did not participate in discussions). I liked (though didn't love) Wild Dark Shore, but Audition? WTF?? (I feel this may have been a popular attitude!)

pickThis was a super cute romance with some spice!
First off, I loved that it was dual POVs. I will never not be a fan of them in romance novels. I always love seeing how and when the characters start to fall for one another through their POVs.
I loved all the characters. The leads, Piper and James, were both so likable and sweet. They made a great couple.

I often have a summer reading slump, and 2025's arrived on schedule. I scored one Bingo, finished both my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin reads, and logged one #readyourebooks pick. But no Perry Rhodans -- whatever else, I must fix that in July.
Thanks for hosting @thearomaofbooks !
I may have gotten carried away when all of the books started to appear. Like gifts for the brain.

And that's a wrap for June's #bookspinbingo! I flirted with that one bingo but didn‘t quite get it. Nor did I read my #bookspin or #doublespin titles. Luckily the stakes are pretty low.
Thanks as always for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks !
A bingo for June! 🎉🎉 My #DoubleSpin has been read, and I‘ll likely finish my #BookSpin today.

Read 1 spin, got 15 pages into the other and realized it was defiantly not for me. and had 3 bingos! I kept getting close to more but then getting distracted by something shiny.
3rd bingo with the help of a couple of DNFs which is a bit of a bummer, but both of them I kicked off my TBR which is the whole point!
