The Classics Spin #29
Time for a new spin!
At your blog, before Sunday, March 20, create a post to list your choice of any twenty books that remain “to be read” on your Classics Club list.
On Sunday March 20, we’ll post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List by April 30, 2022.
