Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is ONE! Our official #DoubleSpin number is THIRTEEN!! 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 a lot 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) have time to reply to them all!! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and for making this challenge SO much fun!!

BookmarkTavern My book club‘s pick is the #BookSpin number! That‘ll be good encouragement to get to it before the meeting! 💕 1d
CSeydel Thank you! My bookspin is The Big Dark Sky by Dean Koontz, and Doublespin is the sequel to Mickey7, 1d
willaful My bookspin is a book by Dorothy Bryant (probably Miss Giardino, so I can return it to my mom) and doublespin is Tom Lake, which I've really been wanting to get to! I hope I'll enjoy it as much as others here have. 1d
BarbaraJean The BookSpin fates have done it again! For the past 3-4 months, the spins have landed on a book I was going to read anyway + one I needed a little push to read. This month, BookSpin is Jingo for #OokBOokClub and DoubleSpin (tagged) is a “stretch goals” book that I threw on the list for motivation to maybe read it for my church‘s book group! 24h
vlwelser I totally forgot this was happening today. Signs point to a really shitty day at work 18h
Prairiegirl_reading I didn‘t realize today was the second. I think it‘s Monday. I definitely don‘t think it‘s September so this was a happy surprise! My bookspin is If We‘re Being Honest by Cat Shook and to my delight my double spin is Stoner, especially after it came highly recommended by @TheBookHippie! 14h
TheBookHippie @Prairiegirl_reading oh yay!!! I hope you love it!! 14h
MemoirsForMe Yay! 2 more memoirs for me! 13h
Eggs Thanks Sarah 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 13h

The Watch is baffled by a pair of mysterious murders & the poisoning of the Patrician. It will take all of them working together along w/ a new hire to solve everything.

This is 1 of my favorites. The two separate mysteries are fascinating, I love all the characters (Angua my beloved), Dorfl & the golems & the power of choosing, & Vimes always satisfies my deeply buried vengeful side @ the end. I forgot how much that last scene hits me.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

kwmg40 I really enjoyed this one. I'd read this a few years ago, but appreciate it more after reading the preceding Watch books in order. I especially liked the developing relationship between Angua and Carrot, and Carrot's fascination with the Dwarf Bread Museum. 4w

julesG @kwmg40 I'd really like to visit the Dwarf Bread Museum 4w
BarbaraJean It was interesting to read this after having read the Moist books—it's one of the first times I felt like I was reading things out of order. But I kind of like having the later books already in my head as a glimpse at the future of the golems! I loved how Pratchett uses golems to consider who counts as a person, setting that against other prejudices. @kwmg40 I love their relationship & am glad there are more books in which it can develop further! 4w
willaful I thought at first this was a little too similar to previous Watch books, but by the end I loved it. So genuinely poignant, and with so much heart and grace. Pratchett at his most humane. 4w
BookmarkTavern @kwmg40 I also really loved seeing Carrot and Angua‘s relationship, especially getting to see it from Angua‘s point of view. 3w
