What is the spin?
At your blog, before Sunday, February 16 create a post that lists twenty books of your choice that remain "to be read" on your Classics Club list.
This is your Spin List.
You have to read one of these twenty books by the end of the spin period.
On Sunday, February 16, we'll post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List by April 11, 2025.

Your list is fantastic!! The Phantom of the Opera, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and A Room With a View are ones I have read, and I absolutely loved them! There are several that are on my TBR list (which is practically its own mind palace/library), especially the Gogol. I've only read a few of his short stories, but I think he might be a new favorite of mine!
ReplyDeleteHappy spinning! Whatever you get, I hope it's one you'll love!
Thank you! Pretty happy with A Picture of Dorian Gray!
DeleteI'm pretty sure I read Murder in the Cathedral when I was in school, but that was SO long ago, I could be wrong! I'm curious about In Search of Dracula, so that might be a nice one for you to get. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you! A Picture of Dorian Gray was a lucky one for me. Yay!
DeleteHere I am, a huge reader all my life, and it's just recently that I've even put Gogol on my list. Sigh. So many good books. Truly.
ReplyDeleteI only learned of Gogol about six or so years ago and that was through a series I watched on streaming based on his work. It's very horror and fantasy...and it's foreign language...and it is so good! It's called Gogol and you can watch it for free on Tubi.
