The Classics Club is sponsoring a SPIN again. It is the 15th spin they have sponsored.
What is the spin?
It’s easy. Before next Friday, March 10th, create a list of any twenty classic books that remain “to be read” on your list.
This is your Spin List. You have to read one of these twenty books in March and April. Try to challenge yourself. For example, you could list five classic books you are dreading/hesitant to read, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are neutral about, and five free choice (favorite author, re-reads, ancients — whatever you choose.)
On Friday, C.C. will post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List, by May 1, 2017. C. C. will check in May to see who made it the whole way and finished their spin book!
Join me. Create your own list. Or read along with me. I'm really hoping for a short one this time but with my luck, the winner will be the longest book on the list. Here's my list for this, the 15th Spin event on Classics Club.(And thanks to CC for organizing this. I have been a pest to get another SPIN going. I know.)
