This year is flying by…my April #bookspin list!

Thank you for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks 📚

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Good luck with David Copperfield. It has its ups and downs, but overall I really enjoyed it. 1mo

Covid arrives and the author decides to make a sweater from scratch. From shearing the sheep, spinning and dyeing the wool, and making the sweater. I enjoyed her humor and the particular items she chose to go into depth on, especially color and the origin of particular colors (from bugs). The last quarter of the book got a bit bogged down, but overall I enjoyed it.

Finished my last 2023 read early this afternoon (The Rose Code by Kate Quinn) and this was my final count for the year.

I don‘t know if I will set a book goal for 2024.

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I might try the page goal this year 🙃 4mo

I already bailed on my #bookspin for December and the #doublespin is an ARC published by St. Martins, which is under boycott for failing to address rascist comments from an employee of Wednesday Books, one of their imprints. I may still read it this month, but I won‘t be posting it. (Also, I am seriously bummed by St Martins silence as they and Minotaur publish some of my favorite books and authors.)

Woohoo! It‘s the 2nd!!! I‘m always so excited when our monthly numbers are chosen! I already started this month‘s #bookspin which is the December #naturalitsy buddy read, and I‘m loving it sooo much! My #doublespin is one of my final #roll100 spins. It‘s been on my shelf for years, and even though I know everyone loves it something always keeps me from reaching for it. Will this double incentive be enough??? @TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! I really enjoyed Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. It actually did change the way I approach some of my cooking - I'm due for a reread, though! 5mo
IndoorDame @TheAromaofBooks as soon as I saw those regional flavor charts I bought a digital copy so I could use them as a reference when I cook in the future. It‘s super cheap on kindle right now 5mo
AmyG I love when these books are chosen, too! Doesn‘t take much to get us excited, huh? 🤣 (edited) 5mo
IndoorDame @AmyG they say you‘re supposed to enjoy the small stuff, right? 😂 5mo

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is FIFTEEN! Our official #DoubleSpin number is EIGHTEEN!! 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/tc6U17AuVw4ssG2v8

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!!!

GinaKButler Sarah, this is something I look forward to every month…thank you so much for continuing to host bookspin and bookspin bingo!! I love getting that gentle nudge to pick up something that‘s been sitting on my TBR! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season! 📚 5mo
TheAromaofBooks @GinaKButler - Thank you so much!!! Hosting this challenge is genuinely such a joy. I hope your holiday season is lovely as well!! ❤ 5mo
vlwelser Thank you! 🤗😘 5mo
Soubhiville Yay! Thank you @TheAromaofBooks. I still need to finish my Nov. doublespin, but for December I‘ve got BS The Overdue Life of Amy Byler and DS 5mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Looks like I'll ideally be starting a new series on my TBR with Etiquette & Espionage and joining the #naturalitsy folks for Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, which I tossed on because I own it. 5mo
bookandbedandtea Yay! Thanks, Sarah! 💕 5mo
BarbaraJean So, last month, my DoubleSpin was Don Quixote Volume 1. This month, my BookSpin is… Don Quixote Volume 2. 😂😂😂 And this month‘s DoubleSpin is the second half of the tagged Chunkster. The BookSpin fates are very insistent about me finishing the long books! 5mo
DGRachel I have to laugh. I actually started the book spin choice yesterday, hated it, bailed, and returned it to the library. My double spin is one I can‘t review or promo until the boycott on St Martins Press ends, because it‘s a NetGalley digital arc of one of their books. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5mo
TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraJean - I'm determined that you'll suffer through Don Quixote with me, no matter what!! 😂 5mo
BarbaraJean I knew it! These spins are rigged!! 😂😂 5mo
Clare-Dragonfly A. R. Capetta and Emma Donoghue! 5mo
Singout Memory Police, this month‘s #SheSaid book! 5mo
