Then whenever we see what number gets picked, we can chat about your books here too. Here is my list of 20 books for Round 1. He is planning to issue the challenge quarterly, I believe. The first number will be announced on Jan. 31, 2021 and you have 2 months to read your book that corresponds with that number.

I would join in on this challenge, but I'm a mood reader. I don't like having books that i have to read. That's one reason the serious about series is so difficult and I haven't posted a TBR yet. I just like to have freedom in my reading. I will post a TBR for SAS soon. I'm just going to be lose about them. If I read them awesome if I don't that's cool too.
Hope everyone has fun!! 💖🦄

Awesome list Lauren! Some of them look strangely familiar. LOL! You should have put the ones we have in common on the same numbers as me and then we could have planned a buddy read if one of them was chosen. Oh well, maybe next time. He plans to do this quarterly.

Amber, it's doesn't matter. It's just for fun. I promise that no one will get mad at you if you don't read your chosen book. But I totally understand. If it would give you anxiety or make you feel pressure, then you are right in not participating.

You have got some great titles on your list. Cold Sassy Tree is a huge favorite of mine. I almost bought a copy of Tony's Wife the other day from the sale shelf at the library, but I didn't. Then when I went back today it was gone. Oh well, I don't have any room on my shelf for it anyway.
I really liked Astronauts Wives Club too. I read it for book club a few years ago.

Are rereads allowed because I have a few later books in the series to finish up a series to get to but would need to reread the earlier books.

Sure, you can put any book on your list that you want. But remember, you are only going to have to read one of them.

I am and I posted my video yesterday! http://youtu.be/VxHZ99N6m90
The books already mentioned here from ya'll sound great and good variety.

Pachinko is my IRL bookclub's Feb book!

Hi everyone!
You've probably all seen the announcement by now that #15 was the number chosen. It looks like there is a good variety of books to be read now by you all. Some I've heard of, but not all of them. As you read your book, feel free to come back here and tell us what you thought of your book.
Mine is News from Thrush Green by Miss Read. I'm happy with the selection. It was from the group of unread books on my Stackmas Tree. It may also work for the Historathon.

Don't be. You're sticking to it, completing it. That's the fun of commitment.

I actually forgot to do this. I guess I'll wait till the next spin.

Please let me know how you like it Tanya it's been sitting on my Kindle gathering dust I think nearly still its release date as I got it on a deal I'm sure been a while since I've read a proper fiction book.

I am looking forward to my spin tempting danger as its the first book in a paranormal series that I have quite a few books of so I hope I like it. I got a bundle of them on a deal at a local charity shop so will definitely be interesting and been a while since I've read a proper paranormal series 😁.

This sounds fun I might check it out 🙂.

Happy reading everyone.

I am going to be reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I am looking forward to reading this as I understand it is written in epistolary format and I really really these type of books.

Does anyone have any other epistolary themed books that I can check out as I would enjoy reading more in this format.

Lorna Landvik has a Christmas themed book that is epistolary. I think it's called Tis the Season. It was pretty good. Also have you read 84, Charing Cross Road by Helen Hanff? I believe that it is actual real letters and it's so good! If I think of others, I'll let you know.

There was one I read years ago that was just notes I don't know if that counts.

Here are a couple Epistolary books that I’ve read and found interesting.

The Diary of A Young Girl, Anne Frank
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
Dracula by Bram Stoker

Happy Reading!

Jamie

That's too bad Dee. I'm sorry that it didn't turn out to be a better book. Rick is going to do The Booktube Spin quarterly, so maybe your pick will be better next time.
I haven't started mine yet, but it's an author that I love, so I'm confident I'll enjoy it.

I'm just learning about this challenge and will definitely check out the next round! Looks like a lot of fun!

I didn't get to my book in time so going to have to slip it into my April tbr.

Romanticbookworm wrote: "I didn't get to my book in time so going to have to slip it into my April tbr."

I held off on mine too. I just had too many mysteries to read in March and my pick is not a mystery.

Deaflower (Dee's New Name) wrote: "When is the next spin to be held Elizabeth?"

It is supposed to be before the end of April.
