I just posted a new Classics Club list last week, and coincidentally, now they have announced a spin. The way it works is, if you want to participate, you pick 20 books from your list and post that list. The spin picks a number, and that determines which book you read next. The deadline for reading the book this time is August 22.
Since I have a new list to work with, I decided to pick 20 of the books I want to read most. Here they are:
- Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
- The Bride of Lammermoor by Walter Scott
- The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson
- Grand Hotel by Vicki Baum
- Weatherley Parade by Richmal Crompton
- The Woods in Winter by Stella Gibbons
- The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer
- Much Dithering by Dorothy Lambert
- A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute
- The Moon Spinners by Mary Stewart
- Miss Plum and Miss Penny by Dorothy Evelyn Smith
- Rhododendron Pie by Margery Sharp
- Merkland, A Story of Scottish Life by Margaret Oliphant
- The Dead Secret by Wilkie Collins
- The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
- Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
- The Methods of Lady Waldenhurst by Frances Hodgson Burnett
- Music in the Hills by D. E. Stevenson
- Phineas Finn by Anthony Trollope
- The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole
What? Me Read? 
Good luck! I’ve read eight of those and particularly enjoyed The Moon-Spinners, The Return of the Native and Our Mutual Friend. I will probably be posting my list tomorrow.
Those are a few rereads, although I don’t have as many on this list, and I don’t really remember The Return of the Native, although I’m sure I read it.
This spin was great timing for your new list! The only book I’ve read here is The Castle of Otranto but I hope you enjoy whichever number we get. Good luck 🙂
I read that way back in high school! I hope you get a good one, too!
That’s a great list, I’ve read eight of them. I have The Black Arrow on my own list.
Nice!
What a gorgeous list of books, I hope you get something really summery sounding like Rhododendron Pie!
Yes, that would be a great one!
It’s great when you just have a new list! I’ve only got a few stragglers left on mine so probably won’t do it this time. So many good or appealing ones here! I recently listened to an audiobook of The Return of the Native and loved it, so I’m hoping you get that one…
Oh good. I know I must have read it long ago, but I don’t remember it.
