Here’s my Classics Spin #11 list.
The Spin is hosted by The Classics Club who will pick a number between 1-20 on Monday Dec 7 … and that is the book that all participants have to read by Feb 1.
I went mostly with big, thick, old-fashioned classics which are perfect reading on long winter nights.
Come up with your own Spin list tonight and join us when the lucky number announced by The Classics Club tomorrow.

Barchester Towers is a wonderful book! I’m secretly hoping for a Trollope on this spin 🙂

So many great books on your list! I’ve loved nearly everything by Trollope and lately I’m really getting into Hardy. I read Far From the Madding Crowd this summer and loved it — right now I’m listening to an audio of Return of the Native (narrated by Alan Rickman!) and it’s wonderful. Good luck with your Spin pick tomorrow!

Thanks Karen. First off, I love JASNA TX is Austen in Austin!! I just reread Emma 2x (summer and fall) bc so excited for the 200.
I got the Brontë bio, but I still plan to read either a Trollope or Hardy as well in Jan.
Hmm. Alan Rickman narrating Hardy sounds like something I might have to try!

It’ll be great for a spring read! Also, #19 looks excellent for winter. So win-win. 🙂
