The Classics Club Spin 22 #ccspin

The Classics ClubHow time flies because it’s time for another Classics Club spin. I definitely need a prompt to read a book off my list. In fact, my spin list below could pretty much be a copy of my list from the previous spin…maybe even the one before that if I’m honest.

For those unfamiliar with how the spin works, here are the step-by-step instructions:

  • At your blog, before Sunday 22nd December 2019, 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. See mine below.
  • You have to read one of these twenty books by the end of the spin period.
  • On 22nd December 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 31st January 2020. Your first New Year resolution achieved, perhaps?

  1. Villette by Charlotte Bronte
  2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
  3. Kindred by Octavia E Butler
  4. Romola by George Eliot
  5. Fear of Flying by Erica Jong
  6. The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin
  7. Invitation to the Waltz by Rosamond Lehmann
  8. The Town House by Norah Lofts
  9. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
  10. A Garden of Earthly Delights by Joyce Carol Oates
  11. All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West
  12. Gaudy Night by Dorothy L Sayers
  13. Katherine by Anya Seton
  14. The Last Man by Mary Shelley
  15. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
  16. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
  17. The Flowers of Adonis by Rosemary Sutcliff
  18. Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor
  19. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson
  20. To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

Will you be taking part in the Classics Club Spin #22?  If so, what are you excited about (or daunted by) the prospect of reading?
