Here's my bingo card for July. Woot woot!

@TheAromaofBooks

Hey, I got Bingo this month! It was a good reading month, that's for sure. Let's go, July!

#bookspin @thearomaofbooks

Here's my #bookspin bingo card for this month. Hopefully I'll remember to look at it this month 🤣🤣

@TheAromaofBooks

Okay, maybe this month I'll remember to actually make a bingo card 🤣🤣

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

My reading in April was so mood choice based, I'm not even going to bother updating my #bookspinbingo card for the month :-D Instead, I'm jumping ahead to May and hoping I can actually stick to some goal. If not, oh well.

@TheAromaofBooks

My April #bookspinbingo card! Let's be honest, though, there's NO WAY I'm finishing Cryptonomicon AND War & Peace this month 🤣🤣

@TheAromaofBooks

Can't believe it's already April!

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Still have a few days, but thought I'd post this in case I forget. Pretty good reading month, even if I dnf'ed my #aam.

#bookspinbingo

@TheAromaofBooks

And here's my #bookspinbingo card!

@TheAromaofBooks I hope your move is going smoothly.

Here's my #bookspin list for March. So excited for spring!

@TheAromaofBooks

Whoo hoo I finally got a bingo 🤣🤣. The tagged book got me the bingo. What a weird, dark, DARK graphic novel. I loved it, but proceed with caution. If you don't like horror or gore or violence, I would stay away.

#bookspinbingo

@TheAromaofBooks

I highly enjoy Roxane Gay's non-fiction. Her writing style is very approachable and clear, and I never feel condescended to. I just love her.

#aam

@Soubhiville

I've been so out of it the last couple of weeks. My husband and I got hit with whatever cold/flu bug that's been going around and I haven't even had the energy to read. It's been rough. Here's hoping I get back in the reading game this month.

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

I am absolutely living these Lord Peter Whimsey books. They're so unexpectedly hilarious! I'm so glad this was a pick for #aam.

@Soubhiville

I totally spaced on posting my #bookspin bingo card. I even finished one of the books already. I love this challenge ❤️❤️

@TheAromaofBooks

And before I forget (again), here's my January #bookspin list.

@TheAromaofBooks

That was as good as it got 🤣🤣. On to 2025.

#bookspinbingo

@TheAromaofBooks

I forgot how much this book rocks. Vimes is such an intriguing, hilarious character, and Lady Sybil...ADORE her. Everything about this book just shocks the hell out of me. Considering when it was published, Pratchett's stance on transgender rights is fucking fabulous. I don't think I caught that the first time I read this. People underestimate the ability of SFF to make a goddamn statement, even if it is “only“ genre fiction. ⬇

Here's my December #bookspin bingo card. I can't wait to do this in 2025.

@TheAromaofBooks

This was absolutely lovely. One of my favorite aspects of a SAA book is her emphasis on the importance of female friendships. Loved this.

#aam #sarahaddisonallen @Soubhiville

Finished this this weekend for my book club. Really appropriate timing, and super satisfying for my need for justice and retribution. Recommended, especially right now in the US.

#lgbtqia

I forgot many things in the last week. But here's my November #bookspin bingo card. And here's to next month being better.

@TheAromaofBooks

Okay, I'm not gonna post the picture again (see previous post), but I ended up binging this last night 🤣🤣. It was so sweet! And so weird. It's basically exactly what the title states, Pride & Prejudice... In space. The artwork is incredible. I adored this!

#bookrecommendations #yellow #HauntedShelf #TeamFlerken @PuddleJumper

Okay, I know this is going to be absurd, but did I shove everything else I was reading to the side to read this instead? Hell yeah! I'm a super Jane Austen fan, but also really easy to please (for the most part) and just look at that cover!

#currentlyreading #bookscavengerhunt #moon #hauntedshelf #teamflerken

Whoa. That was #dark. And surprisingly funny. Lots of violence and gore and 🔥🔥🔥 scenes. Couldn't put it down once I got going. Definitely a #bookrecommendation for those who like their romance a little twisted. Also, it's kinda hard to tell, but there's definitely #blood on the cover.

#bookscavengerhunt #hauntedshelf #bookspin #TeamFlerken @PuddleJumper

This was so sweet! Perfect reading for what feels like our first actual #fall weather. Highly #recommended!

#hotdrink #bookscavengerhunt #bookspin #popsugar

#HauntedShelf #TeamFlerken @PuddleJumper

This was so sweet! At times a wee bit preachy, but overall charming, warm, and lovely. Highly #recommended for fans of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree.

I particularly enjoy the #purple painted edges :-D

#HauntedShelf #bookspinbingo #bookscavengerhunt #wordsearch #TeamFlerken @puddlejumper

Huh. I actually found a book that's not in the database. What is it with these book trackers and poetry?

Anywho, interesting collection of poetry about math, science, death... You know, the big things 😀. Not normally my jam, but I was definitely intrigued. And look at that cover art! Fascinating.

#HauntedShelf #otherreads #wordsearch #teamflerken @PuddleJumper

Another cozy fantasy romance (coromantasy?) in the bag for #HauntedShelf. This one I got from NetGalley. Overall, mostly enjoyable. The protagonists are sweet, the town is charming and quirky, and the romance is slow building. My only quibble is that the plot itself seemed to peter out a little too soon. Still, I recommend it. It's a lovely read for this time of year.

#autumnrecommendation #purplebookscavengerhunt

#teamflerken @PuddleJumper

Finished my first book for #HauntedShelf! Just look at that cover, how much more fall-y can you get?! Super 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥, with amazing descriptions of living on a pumpkin farm with a plus size FMC and MMC. I've been binging Elise Kennedy's enovellas lately and this is my favorite by far.

Also counts for an orange book cover for the #bookscavengerhunt.

#TeamFlerken @PuddleJumper

This is my absolute favorite fall read. I highly recommend this for #hauntedshelf!

#Flerken @PuddleJumper

Here's my October #bookspin list. I love this time of year 😍😁

@TheAromaofBooks #hauntedshelf #flerken

I think this is as good as it gets for my September #bookspinbingo. Good reading month! @TheAromaofBooks

I found out some truly distressing/heartbreaking news this week (I'm fine, my family's fine), so I binge read this book to soothe my heart. I have been extremely fortunate in my life to not have experienced much deep loss in my life, but this book healed my bruised heart in ways it's hard to explain. I can't overstate how much the descriptions of death made me feel better. Highly recommended.

#authoramonth #aam @soubhiville

A while back, someone posted instructions on how to side load the Litsy app. I got a new phone, and the app is STILL not available in the Play Store. Does anyone remember how to side load it?

Thanks!

#litsy #app #android

Here's my #bookspin bingo card for September. All squares intact 🤣🤣

@TheAromaofBooks

And here's my list for September!

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Did pretty well this August. Even almost got a bingo! Posting this last minute as I finished my #doublespin book last night 🤣🤣

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was so bananas. Many of the references went over my head, but I think that's because this book was set in the 1950s, but published in 1990, and I read it in 2024 🤣🤣. Anyway, the story was beyond bizarre, but I could not put it down. Highly recommended!

And I got my #doublespin for the month! @thearomaofbooks

Depressing and informative. And grizzly bears are scary AF!

This was surprisingly compelling. I don't know why I was surprised, as I loved Transmetropolitan, but I guess it's because I wasn't a fan of Ellis' other novel. This is a really terrific police procedural, with the expected rough language and flashes of gore-ish violence. Still, really enjoyed this.

My #bookspin bingo card!

@TheAromaofBooks

And here's my #bookspin list for August!

@TheAromaofBooks

So so close this month. Good reading month, even so 🤩🤩

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Not a great reading month, was June 😭😭. I think the few I did read, however, were great ones. I'm not even sure which of these was my favorite, though RAZORBLADE TEARS was technically a #dnf.

Onward to a better reading month!

#readingroundup

There's actually a good chance I could get bingo this month 🤣🤣

#bookspinbingo #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

And here's my #bookspin list for July. Here's hoping!

@TheAromaofBooks

Oof, this was NOT a good reading month. The rain clouds over my #aam mean it was a #dnf, which is my second of the year. I was doing so well, too! Oh well. On to the next month!

@TheAromaofBooks

Here's my #bookspin bingo card for June!

@TheAromaofBooks

Okay, I think this is the most I'll read this month. No bingo, not still productive. Plus, lots of fun with PicCollage stickers 🤣🤣
