The Classics Club has announced another spin. How does this work? Classics club members select 20 books from their lists and post a numbered list of those choices by Sunday, December 11. On Sunday, Classics Club picks a number, and the club member agrees to try to read the book corresponding to that number and post a review by Sunday, January 29, 2023.

Great list – I loved Sleeping Murder and The Three Musketeers. I enjoyed The Moorland Cottage too and it’s a short one. Good luck!
Thanks!
What an interesting list, I’ve only read three of them.
I hope to get a good one!
I’m almost sure I read Sleeping Murder, and I read Miss Mole recently, so good luck with the pick!
Thanks! But it turns out to be The Saga of Gosta Berling by Selma Lagerlof. I have no experience of her, so I don’t know what to expect at all.
I tried to read her Jerusalem many years ago, but didn’t get on well with it. I can’t remember why to be honest. Maybe I should look it up again.
Hmm, I’ve never heard of your winner – hope it turns out to be great!
I hope so, but Content Reader told me it was magical realism and fairy tale style. Not the best news in the world.
Oh dear, not my kind of thing either. Still, maybe it will surprise you!
I hope so.
