I’ve been a member of the Classics Club since 2017 and am currently working on my second list of 50 books to finish in a five year period of time. Although I haven’t been reading as much in the last year, I am slowly getting back to my books, and another Classics Club Spin is calling to me. I can’t promise that I’ll be able to finish the book that is chosen, but I think it will be nice to give it a try. Happy reading to all of you who are participating in this Spin!
This is the way the CC Spin works:
It’s easy. At your blog, before next Sunday 18th June, 2023, 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 18th, June, 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 the Sunday 6 August, 2023.
Because my reading isn’t back to full speed yet, I chose five books that I would really like to read right now from my Classics Club list, and repeated those five to make up the list of 20.
- Beston, Henry: The Northern Farm: A Glorious Year on a Small Maine Farm
- Burnett, Frances Hodgson: Little Lord Fauntleroy
- Conrad, Pam: My Daniel
- Gallico, Paul: Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris

Robin, we both have Mrs. Harris in no. 4! I’m crossing my fingers to it.

Fanda, that’s great! I just watched the movie and loved it. And I love Paul Gallico’s books, so I know I’ll love reading it. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it is the spin book that’s chosen.

Your list is getting really short… Good luck. I’ll post my list at a minute to midnight on Saturday night… because I have other posts scheduled until then.

Hi, Davida. I’m really only about half way through my list, but I decided to choose some short, kind stories that would encourage me in getting back to my reading.😊

Spins are a great way of getting back to the list aren’t they? Mrs Harris has a lovely ring to it!

I agree with you, Jane. Spins are very helpful that way, if I don’t load the list with difficult reads! I’m looking forward to this one. It feels good to be reading again.

I like this approach. I should have done 10 short books that I can handle right now and repeated that list once. Oh well, I am sure I will be OK with any pick.
