I hope you get True Grit. Even though I loved both versions of the film, I felt the book was so much better!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like this is the popular choice. I may end up reading it whether it is the spin or not.
DeleteWe have one title in common, and I have several of these on my master list. True Grit is probably the book that most surprised me (in a good way) of the books on your list that I have read.
ReplyDeleteI teach readers' advisory at the local university and one of my students read it for an assignment this year, which reminded me that I have it sitting on my shelf unread.
DeleteOoooh, I've read many of your books. Numbers 1 to 6, 8, 11, 14, 15 and 19. I hope you get Buddenbrooks, one of my favourite books ever.
ReplyDeleteMy list.
Thanks!. I took at look at yours too.
DeleteThanks for the visit.
DeleteSo the spin is #8, Persuasion by Jane Austen.
