Classics Club Spin 19 #ccspin

The 19th Classics Club Spin! I'm generally a failure at these, but my motto is...Never Give Up, Never Surrender!

Here's what you do...list 20 books from your Classics Club list before Tuesday, November 27. There's a twist this time. The Club is giving us extra time with the stipulation that we compile our list with Chunksters. They will choose a number randomly from 1 - 20 and that number is the one you will read from your list. Fun! The challenge is to read that book by January 31, 2019.

I'm not sure how many chunksters I have on my list, but I will do my best! Here's mine:
  1. Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
  2. Emma, Jane Austen
  3. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bronte
  4. The Woman in White, Wilkie Collins
  5. Roxana, Daniel Defoe
  6. Queen Margot, Alexandre Dumas
  7. Villette, Charlotte Bronte
  8. North and South, Elizabeth Gaskell
  9. The Marble Faun, Nathaniel Hawthorne
  10. The Portrait of a Lady, Henry James
  11. Buddenbrooks, Thomas Mann
  12. The Mysteries of Udolpho, Ann Radcliffe
  13. Rob Roy, Sir Walter Scott
  14. The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
  15. The Master of Hestviken, Sigrid Undset
  16. Ben-Hur, Lew Wallace
  17. The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton
  18. The Golden Bowl, Henry James
  19. The French Lieutenant's Woman, John Fowles
  20. Mansfield Park, Jane Austen

#CatThursday - #Authors and #Cats (78) Nadine Gordimer

The second Cat Thursday of each month is Authors and Cats Thursday. Each time I will feature an author with their cat(s), pictured with a cat(s), or guest posts by cat loving authors who also (sometimes) write about cats.




Nadine Gordimer (November 20, 1923 - July 13, 2014) was a South African writer, political activist and recipient of the 1991 Nobel Prize in Literature. She was recognized as a woman "who through her magnificent epic writing has – in the words of Alfred Nobel – been of very great benefit to humanity".


Gordimer's writing dealt with moral and racial issues, particularly apartheid in South Africa. Under that regime, works such as Burger's Daughter and July's People were banned. She was active in the anti-apartheid movement, joining the African National Congress during the days when the organization was banned. She was also active in HIV/AIDS causes.

On her 92nd birthday in 2015, there was even a Google Doodle in her honor featuring the author with her beloved cat. She was a known cat lover.

Alice is not a fan of the flash. I can rarely get shots with her eyes open. She's still cute though. 



Arya doesn't seem to have a problem with it. 


Here's a little extra funny for you.
