Hoo boy! Last Spin crashed and burned hard, but that's understandable as I was in my third trimester / just had a baby.
Now, it's been no secret that my reading has stalled mightily as previous blog posts state. Classics definitely haven't been much in my wheelhouse at the moment. Perhaps the spin will give me that push!
This time around, I curated my list with the remaining books on my club list plus a couple classics from other challenges I wanted to sign up for this year. That resulted in 15 books. I doubled the list, sent it through a randomizer, and then curated from there. While we do have 8 weeks, I took some of the longest books either off my spin list entirely, or just made sure they only appeared once.
Most looking forward to? One of the Austen novels.
Hoping it's not? Anything over 400 pages. Also, not really in the mood for a dystopia.
I hope you get Jane Austen! Persuasion and P&P are tied for my favorite, though I love them all. I also liked a Study in Scarlet and East of Eden. Good luck with your spin pick!
ReplyDeleteHa! Those are tied for my favorites as well. There's actually quite a few on here I want to read... and quite a few that I want to read but I'm not really dying to read right now.
DeleteI hope you get 2, it's my favorite by Steinbeck. Here's mine https://wordsandpeace.com/2020/08/06/the-classics-club-the-classics-spin-24/
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've read a number of his other works, but somehow never got to this one. My parents both speak highly of it.
DeleteYou've got some great ones on your list. Persuasion is my favorite Austen. Here's mine: http://carolsnotebook.com/2020/08/06/classics-club-spin-24/.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm a huge fan of Persuasion. It's tied as my favorite with Pride and Prejudice - I tend to switch them back and forth depending on stage of life when I'm reading.
