Classics Club has just announced another spin. How does the spin work? Club members select 20 books from their Classics Club list and post them in a numbered list by this coming Sunday, June 18. The club then picks a number and that determines which book you read next, attempting to post a review by Sunday, August 6. So, with no further adieu, here is my list for the spin:
- Dust Tracks on a Road by Zora Neale Hurston
- The Deepening Stream by Dorothy Canfield Fisher
- The Princess of Cleves by Madame de La Fayette
- Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
- A Double Life by Karolina Pavlova
- Castle Rackrent by Maria Edgeworth
- The Methods of Lady Walderhurst by Frances Hodgson Burnett
- Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs
- Tis Pity She’s a Whore by John Ford
- The Tavern Knight by Rafael Sabatini
- The Tree of Heaven by May Sinclair
- The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz
- Miss Mole by E. H. Young
- Merkland: A Story of Scottish Life by Margaret Oliphant
- The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
- Cecilia, Memoirs of an Heiress by Frances Burney
- Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare
- The Book of Dede Korkut by Anonymous
- The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
- The Book of Lamentations by Rosario Castellanos
Are you participating in the spin? Which book would from your list do you hope is picked?

I’ve only read three of your list – the Edgeworth which I didn’t much like, Our Mutual Friend which of course I loved because it’s Dickens, (but I always feel Dickens should be read in winter, for some reason!) and The Return of the Native which I thoroughly enjoyed. But I’m hoping you get Dust Tracks on a Road since I’ve been tempted by it and would like to hear your opinion. Good luck!
That’s too bad about the Edgeworth. Any Dickens is for me a reread, but I’ll be happy to revisit Our Mutual Friend. However, I also think Dickens is for winter reading. I may have also read Return of the Native before, but as I don’t remember it at all, I put it on my list. I am curious about Dust Tracks, too.
The only one on your list I’ve read is Miss Mole – really cute! My list will go up a minute to Sunday midnight (my time zone), because I had other posts scheduled!
I had that problem before, too, but lately I’ve stopped regularly posting on Wednesdays because I caught up with myself. That is, my reviews caught up to my reading so I have to post less often for a while.
Yes, Sundays and Fridays are my usual days, and then either Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Except for when we have a #6degrees of separation, then it is #ThrowbackThursday, #6Degrees, something on Monday and Wednesday and back to Fridays! Hm… this makes me sound OCD or something.
I probably seem just as bad.
I haven’t read many of those, but I loved Our Mutual Friend, The Return of the Native and The Three Musketeers, and have also read The Princess of Cleves, which I thought was interesting. I’m not sure if I’m going to take part in this spin as I only have a few books left on my Classics Club list and have put some of them on my 20 Books of Summer list anyway.
I guess if you wanted to you would have to repeat the same ones over and over. That’s what I did when I was almost at the end of my list. But if one was picked that you had on your 20 Books of Summer list, you could just count it for both.
