This list is due by Sunday March 20th, 2022, when the spin will happen and then the book it lands on has to be read by Sunday, April 30th, 2022. That gives those of us participating six weeks to read the book.
As always, the spin is hosted here

- War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
- The Ides of March by Thornton Wilder
- Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

This includes some short ones, some long ones, and some I've struggled with before.
Great list - I feel confident you'll enjoy whichever one spins your way!
ReplyDeleteGreat Expectations is one of my favourite Dickens and I love Patrick Leigh Fermor, but I'm curious about Mrs. Palfrey because I haven't read that one, but liked the other Elizabeth Taylors I've read. I'm also curious about Ides of March.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spinning!
Great list, usually, I say, I've read # soandso. This time, I have to almost list the ones I haven't read (2, 10-13, 15, 17-20). My favourite among them, tough, either 7 or 8 but I also love love love 1 and 16. In any case, you're into a great read.
ReplyDeleteThis is my Classics Club Spin #29.
Lots of great possibilities here--The Phantom Tollbooth is a delight!
