My list for The Classics Club Spin 43 #ccspin

Classics Club Spin

The last time I took part in a Classics Club Spin was way back in 2021 when I only had two books left on my list. Now that I’ve created my second Classics Club list I can join in again.

If you’re wondering how the spin works, read on:

Before 8th February, create a post listing twenty books that remain to be read on your Classics Club list. This is your spin list. On 8th February the folks at The Classics Club will post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your spin list by 29th March 2026.
