Who is participating in the Booktube Spin Round 2?

[Elizabeth]

Hi everyone, Rick MacDonnell recently posted the announcement for Round 2 of The Booktube Spin. The spin will take place on April 28th. If you don't do videos and you want to post your list for round 2 here, I hope that you will.
I am posting a video, but I will post my list here anyway.

My TWO books to read for BookTube Spin #2:

From reworked list for BookTube Spin #1:
The Rembrandt Conspiracy (Lost Art Mystery #2) by Deron R. Hicks (next book to read in a mystery series already started; just found out that the first book I read belonged to this middle grade series, so just added the second title as a replacement for a book I read for another challenge after BookTube Spin #1 was chosen).

From new list created for BookTube Spin #2:
A Hiss Before Dying/Mrs. Murphy #26 by Rita Mae Brown (from my 2021 TBR Jar; one of my top favorite authors I have been reading for years and want to catch up with this long running series)

My 'spin' on MacDonnell' BookTube Spin: I am going to add a new list each BookTube Spin and pick books from prior lists as well. Two books to read this time, three for BookTube Spin #3 and four books for BookTube Spin #4.

That will give me a total of ten (10) books read this year because of BookTube Spin!!

Finishing up my book from BookTube Spin #1 today/tomorrow:
Murder in Her Stocking/Granny Reid #1 by G. A. McKevett
Loving it and look forward to reading more in this series; another great recommendation from Elizabeth of LizzieFayeLovesBooks.

Donna, I like your idea of continuing to pull from past lists. What I am thinking about doing is reading the chosen book during the first month and then drawing from the rest of the list for each of the next two months, so that I'm reading at least three from each list per quarter. Of course that will only work if I don't postpone the chosen book like I did in the first round.

[Elizabeth]

I neglected to come back here and post my round 2 list and even though we know that #1 was the result, I might as well post my list.
About half of them are also on the round one list, but in different places on the list. For Round 3, I plan to choose all different books. Then Round 4 will probably be half nonfiction and half Christmas themed books.

Here is my list for Round 2:
1. The Market Square by Miss Read
2. A Patchwork Christmas by Kristin Eckhardt
3. A New Leaf by Thomas Kincade & Katherine Spencer
4. Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to Summer Vacation by Tommy Greenwald
5. The Runner by Cynthia Voigt
6. Toeshoe Trouble by Whoopie Goldberg
7. The Fugitive by John Grishom (Theodore Boone #5)
8. The Odds of Getting Even by Sheila Turnage
9. The Shade of the Moon by Susan Beth Pfeffer
10.Almost Friends by Philip Gulley
11.Southern As a Second Language by Lisa Patton
12.Wild Goose Chase by Terri Thayer
13.How to Say it to Girls by Nancy Gruver
14.Hey Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky? by Baxter Black
15.The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss
16.Five Little Peppers and How They Grew by Margaret Sidney

That sounds great, Elizabeth. I was surprised when assessing my first list how many I had read for other reasons/challenges and had to replace. Including replacement of the #15 book (Murder in Her Stocking), I read 8 books from that first list and have now replaced all eight titles with new ones for future spins.

By your recommendation I had Granny Reid's 'Murder in Her Stocking' on my TBR radar and included it as one of the ten series I wanted to try; now having read it, I loved it and look forward to more as well as the 'Savannah' series. If it keeps going the way it started, if may become one of my top favorite cozy mystery series because it is common sense, murder is taken seriously and with compassion for the victim, and Granny did not get in the way of law enforcement. Plus I love Granny and all her 'kids'; and a nice romance to boot.
