Classics Club Spin #44


I can't believe I missed the last three spins. Life has been busy. I also revised my entire list and started over effective May 16, 2026. See my updated list on my dedicated Classics Club page here.

What is the spin?

At your blog, before Sunday, May 17 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, May 17, 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 July 5, 2026.

For full details and to join in, visit the Classics Club blog here.

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.
