Went with types of books rather than titles and this is February's #BookspinBingo selections.
My current read is a library book-perfect for #BookSpin.
Kindle read will probably be the romance I've been poking at since the first of January. #DoubleSpin
Thanks @TheAromaOfBooks for hosting!
My anxiety has been high and it's messing with my reading. After picking up and putting down two books in two weeks, I finally found something that I'm enjoying.
So, this is an easy-peasy loosey-goosey #BookSpin list for February. Here's hoping that my mental health settles down and I can get some quality reading time in!
I was working on “Black House“ last week but was finding it was slow going for me. It's due with holds on it at the library and I'm okay with getting it again in a couple of months.
So, I'll start “Daisy Jones“ at lunch today and then once that's done I'll do my January #TBRDeckOfCards read.
Here's to a great week of reading!
#WeeklyForecast #BookReport
It's #TBRDeckOfCards time!
Yes, I'm using my SPN cards for this project :)
I drew the Queen of Hearts and the corresponding genre is Sci-Fi, specifically cyberpunk.
I've decided on “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?“ for my title.
What are you going to read, @bklover?
Well this is an interesting #Roll100 for February.
I really want to read “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee“ but I think February's pick is going to be “From Where You Dream.“
One of my goals for 2023 is to write more and “Dream“ seems to be a good nudge in that direction.

I can't put my finger on why exactly this isn't working for me at the moment. It may simply be wrong book at this time.
This hits several of my interests-modern day Native American story set in Oklahoma. However, the beginning isn't capturing my attention and life is short.
Back to the library this goes and I'm picking up the next book!
I just didn't get to this in December so book 2 for 2023 was this adrenaline ride.
Love Court/Gray Man and this one was a solid entry into the series. Definitely start at the beginning as these build on each other. Recommended for fans of Jason Bourne, Jack Ryan, and similar characters.
My current read totally counts as a series read (book 4 in the Gray Man series).
Black House is for #Booked2023 as part of a trilogy.
I feel really excited for these two selections and am sure I'll start the year with both of my bingo reads, read.
#Bookspin @TheAromaOfBooks
I didn't write much in 2022 so I wanted to start 2023 with a reminder to make art.
Gaiman wrote and Riddell illustrated a beautiful reminder that all art matters and to just do!
Here's to making art and writing through 2023!
Here's my reading goals for 2023.
If I read all 24 of #Bookspin #Bingo, I'll have read 72 books.
The 60 books does not include series I keep up with and their new releases. Plus, there's a couple of older series I've been reading so it could easily be 70+ for the year.
However, my goal is 60 books this years and I feel that's very doable.
I'm going to participate in #Booked2023 and #Roll100 along with #TBRDeckofCards and Bookspin Bingo.
All 3 of my January #Roll100 selections look good!
I'm leaning towards the tagged book but we'll see-I may end up in the mood for a classic or a sea journey by the time I get to reading my book.
@puddlejumper
I am in for #Roll100 2023!
My list here is a little wonky in the numbering but there are 100 titles I want to read that's on my shelves.
I usually read 1 title out of 3 so I'm shooting for 12 total this year-small peanuts but that's at least 12 less books that I'll own!
@puddlejumper
One of the 2023 reading challenges I'm going to do is #TBRDeckOfCards!
I've come up with 52 subgenres that I haven't read. Then when I draw a card at the end of the month, I'll have a new to me subgenre to read!
For January, I drew gothic romance and decided on “Down Comes the Night.“ Now, technically this is YA gothic romance fantasy but it looks good!
#TBRDeckOfCards was popular in 2022, do I need to tag someone? TIA!
This was just as good as I remember and I can't wait to have more adventures in Narnia!
I've placed the 2010 movie on my queue at Disney+ and looking forward to that this weekend.
I've also placed the next book in the series (by publication date) on hold. That will come in before the first of the year but won't be read until 2023.
This was a solid start to a mystery series set in Alaska.
I really enjoyed the main character, Beth, and the trauma she's overcoming.
This was more straight-forward mystery and not much thriller. Not that that's a problem-it was nice reading a quiet mystery.
Definitely recommend if you like this genre.
It was a good week, last week. I read the two kids books on Sunday so I could get them back to the library. “A Blizzard of Polar Bears“ was finished and in time for the next one is the series to be coming my way via the library.
“Thin Ice“ is halfway read and entertaining. I've already get book 2 c/out.
“The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe“ was read 20+ years ago and I've felt the itch to delve into Narnia again.
#WeeklyForecast #BookReport
Both of these amazing kids books are from the library. As you would expect, people are waiting on them and I am late getting them back, oops!
This was a delightful way to spend a Sunday afternoon with these books. Both a picks and picks for this Christmas season.
This series with Alex Carter as a wildlife biologist who ends up in all sorts of trouble is entertaining. Perhaps reading about the great north in December wasn't a brilliant idea as I'm already cold and the story will make you even colder!
If you enjoy mystery series with a dash of science and animals, check this one out!
Love this series!
Picked this up on Wednesday and have just inhaled it-mostly while at work while the boss was out!
If you like mystery series, this is definitely a series to check out.
My #Bookspin is for a book in a series-it'll probably be my next read of “Blizzard of Polar Bears.“
My #Doublespin is “The Snow Queen“ by Hands Christian Anderson.
#BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
Awful loosey goosey #Bookspin list! Lots of slots are free to interpretation. I am planning on enjoying this last month of reading and be prepared to enter 2023 ready to tackle challenges I have planned!
@TheAromaOfBooks
Well, #NovelNovember didn't go quite as planned. I DNF'd two books, not shown, and read two kids books. I finished“Righteous Prey“ last week.
I am reading a Harlequin romance-no idea what has gotten into me to pick this up but I am enjoying it. Definitely outside of my typical reading!
Up next (hopefully) this week is “A Blizzard of Polar Bears.“ I've read almost half before it had to go back earlier in the year so I'm hoping to finish this.
Another solid outing with Davenport and Flowers. There isn't really much to say at this point-if you've been following Lucas' career this will definitely make you happy.
Finished the tagged book last week.
About 60% done with “Righteous Prey“ and should have that done by or on Thanksgiving.
I don't have listed here, but I do have about 4 small Christmas books I want to get through and then start “A Blizzard of Polar Bears“ on Sunday.
#WeeklyForecast #BookReport
Well, 2022 can be summed up with Grateful Dead lyrics!
I went several months without reading this year & I'm behind on most of my reading challenges. For #Booked2022 I would need to read 10 books to finish out-there's 6 weeks and I read one book a week. I'm also behind on Bingo and #Roll100.
Yesterday, I decided enough was enough.
For the next 6 weeks, I'm reading what I want to read. Mostly mysteries and Christmas as we enter the holidays.
#NovelNovember kicks off tomorrow! @Andrew65 has his monthly readathon set and I am in.
I have my book I just started and four smaller Christmas books to read before the end of next weekend. It's never too early for Christmas books!
A solid but ultimately forgettable entry into this series. I'm really enjoy Lucas Page's mind and will follow up with the next entry.
I will say, I kept thinking to myself that I had seen this premise on a TV show at one time. I still don't know what TV show but it was similar up to the end of the book to that TV episode.
So here's December's #Roll100. I shoot for one book a month out of the three picks...December's read will be the Judy Blume book.
I did read “Are You There“ when I was a kid but somehow ended up with a physical copy. It'll be nice to get it read and sent to the used bookstore.
“Brave New World“ is too heavy for end of the year. Dec. is for fluffy reads.
“Huckleberry Finn“ needs to be read after “Tom Sawyer“ as it's a sequel.
@PuddleJumper
I finished “Purgatory Ridge“ on Friday.
Saturday, I sat and read four kids picture books. My fave was “The Legend of the Christmas Wish.“ Sunday I ready “Beast Keeper“ and thoroughly enjoyed this story of Greek Gods.
I am finishing up “Black Beauty“ hopefully today. And today's lunch selection is to start “Do No Harm.“
A solid entry into the series but just wasn't my fave.
I actually saw the ending coming and that rarely happens. Overall, it is just a solid entry but nothing to write home about.
I am going to continue with this series and can't wait to see what Cork gets up to next!
Well, this is an interesting combo! My #Bookspin and #Doublespin books for #BookBingo!
@TheAromaofBooks
It was a great week! I read three books-a book, a novella, and a short story/Kindle Single.
I desperately need a palate cleanser and choose the next Cork O'Connor book. Then, if I have time before Halloween, it'll be “October Country.“ If not, then I'll delve into “Black Beauty“ on Kindle.
#WeeklyForecast #BookReport
Interesting #Roll100 selection...two Revolutionary War/Era books and a book about creativity with monastic wisdom.
I tried to read at least one of these and I think, just due to size and ease of reading it's going to be “American Heroes“ although I have pulled all three and we'll see what happens.
@puddlejumper
Not a bad week of reading.
#DeweyOct was a bit of bust for me. Between work and a family visit in the evening I didn't get much read.
I read “Children of the Corn“ for #Booked2022.
“American Cozy“ was not for me and was sent back to the library.
I've already reviewed “Hell House“-that was my read during the week.
The only book I didn't get to was the Bradbury. Maybe I'll get that read this week.
#OutstandingOctober Readathon @Andrew65
This was an amazing novella that packed so much punch into 185 pages. Recommend this one, especially if you're looking to add just one more book to your Halloween horror reads.
This has been in production for a TV series since 2020 and fits that prompt in #Booked2022 @alisiakae @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage
It was also my #Bookspin for Book Bingo @TheAromaOfBooks
This was also my first book of #DeweyOct!
I have physically thrown one book across the room to hear the thud as it hits the wall. If I wasn't at work, this would be the second book I chuck across the room.
Dear sweet Bloody Mary, what the world did I just read?? This was the biggest pile of steaming manure I've forced myself to read in a long time.
I know I'm in the minority with my opinion of this book. I just found a book that isn't my cup of tea.
I need brain bleach now.
My book cozy and my current read are hilariously different from each other.
You would think go on vacay means I'll get some reading done. Unfortunately, I never do. I read more at work on my lunch break than I do on vacay!
“Hell House“ should be done this week and I'm hoping to get several pages into “October Country“ this weekend.
I'm also hoping to finish a book called “American Cozy“ for #OutstandingOctober Readathon. It's an ambitious week of reading!
#WeeklyForecast #BookReport
Here's the three books I hope to get to in the #OutstandingOctober #readathon.
I'm a few pages into “Hell House“ and hope to get it finished first of the week.
Not pictures is the four horror novella's I have for Dewey's Readathon next Saturday. Although I have to work, I'm hoping to get through at least a couple of the novellas that day.
@Andrew65
Happy day! Mexican food followed by a visit to a huge used bookstore. They accepted for trade all but one of the books I posted yesterday. And of course, I came home with more books 😁
Going through my bookcases and cataloging what I have. This is bookcase #1's purge. I have another bookcase to accomplish. So much I'll never read/reread. I get from the library majority of my reading materials. So why am I hanging onto this?
This was a cute book featuring a fall pumpkin patch. I've heard the book referred to as charming and that's exactly what it is.
However, I don't see myself rereading this next fall. It was good but life is short and I'm picky about what I pick up again.
This is also the 35th book of the year and my Goodreads goal has been reached!
It was an interesting week. Finished a middle grade book and DNF'd another middle school book. I flipped through a book on cottagecore but decided it wasn't for me. I reshelved “Other Birds“ for later.
So, with me being on vacay this week I have plans to finish the two books listed. “Pumpkinheads“ will keep me entertained at work today. “Hell House“ will kick off my week off on Monday.
I just can't finish this book...I've been poking at it all morning but find myself finding something else to do instead of reading. I've done laundry, dishes, and watched a college football game.
I've decided to let it go. It reminded me of Lemony Snicket in some ways-another middle grade book I couldn't finish.
I've got a stack of books I'm excited to read and decided not to push through this one.
Got my coffee, ASMR video, and a whole day to get through this book. I've enjoyed what I've read so far and hope that continues. Yay for weekend reads!
I really enjoyed this story of Maggie and her Newfoundland dog, Sirius.
I picked this up for a reading challenge of reading a book about every province of Canada and this one was set in Newfoundland. Well, success on the setting cause now I want to visit!
This kids book was charming and I really enjoyed this quick read!
Using this for my #doublespin of “Library Book.“
