Classics Club Spin #18

Hi friends! It’s time for another Classics Club Spin! Here’s my full list. I’ve picked 20 and on August 1st the Classics Club will pick a number at random – and voila! That will be the book that I’m going to read.

I’m hoping this will get me going on my list because I haven’t finished ANY of them. I’m still rather hesitant about reading classics – second guessing myself and my ability to understand them adequately and to stay focused enough. But enough of that! It’s time to get cracking.

To make my list a bit more random, I’ve sorted my spreadsheet (yes, I have a spreadsheet!) by the title of the book. The last spin was sorted by the author’s last name. I know – still not totally random, but oh well.

Here’s my list:
