And the spin landed on #8...The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson. I should have no problem finishing this by June 2nd.
I finished the last Spin (glory be) so why not try again...
What is the spin?
At your blog, before next Sunday 21st April, 2024 create a post that lists twenty books of your choice that remain "to be read" on your Classics Club list.

Congratulations on completing your last spin! My book group just got finished reading Phantom of the Opera, which I found intriguing, and I read and enjoyed Of Mice and Men long ago. I would like to read something of Gogol so I'm rooting for one of those to pop up.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb! PotO and OMaM have been on my TBR for ages! Looking forward to see what I get.
DeleteYou have some very interesting choices on your list! I hope you get Murder in the Cathedral, though I would be happy with several of your others.
ReplyDeleteI hope I get it too. I've had it on my spin lists so many times...it's time I think. :)
DeleteI read both The Collector and Of Mice and Men in High School (about 50 years ago) but I still remember them both! And as you noted, we both have Dorian Gray on our lists, but not in the same spot! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
