What will I get?! Are you doing the spin this time?
In case you're curious about all the writing books on my list (some which may not seem to be classics to some), check out this post where I outlined restarting/revamping my list in 2019.
Nice list. I've read Emma and Maya Angelou. I'm excited to see what will be chosen.
ReplyDeleteHere is my list.
Lovely collection of writing books, but it sounds like you might be in need of some Austen! So I wish you Emma this spin :-)
ReplyDeleteJane Austen is always a good idea.

ReplyDeleteI almost missed the CCspin ! There are many good books on your list and some I haven't heard of yet :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you made it. You have some great books, too.
DeleteI need to revamp my list...I think I'll restart in 2022. I did nothing except like two books since I started my five years...yikes.
ReplyDeleteEmma should be a fun one! I read that last fall.
I've been thinking I should read one of Hemingway's. I just started the docuseries on PBS about him and it's pretty interesting.
Good luck with your spin!
I'm reading Nicholas Nickleby right now and it's great! Have a great spin!

ReplyDeleteI would enjoy reading any of the writing books on the list, I think.
ReplyDeleteSpinning is such fun--I need to get another classics club list going so I can spin too! Hope you get a great number!
