The Classics Club is hosting another Classics Spin! Pick 20
books off your Classics Club List. On Monday (the 12th) they will announce a
random number and you have to read that number off the list you created
sometime before July 7th. I’ve listed a mixture of books I’m dreading, ones I’m
looking forward to, very old ones, relatively new ones, big ones, small ones,
etc. Can’t wait to see what I’ll be reading.
We
have a winner! It's #1 Giovanni's
Room by James Baldwin. I’ve been meaning
