Hello, lovely readers!
It’s time for another Classics Club Spin! Participants post a list of 20 books on their Classics Club list. On Monday morning (October, 3th), a random number will be selected by the Club. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List, by December 1st, 2016.
As you might know, I’m committed to reading only classics by women. Here is my spin list:
- The Sundial, Shirley Jackson
- Spinster, by Sylvia Ashton-Warner
- The Edwardians by Vita Sackville-West;
- Selected Poems, by Marina Tsvetaeva;
- Suite française, Irène Némirovsky;
- The Bell, by Iris Murdoch;
- The Street, by Ann Petry;
- The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett
- The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Muriel Spark
- The Play Room, by Olivia Manning
- My Cousin Rachel, Daphne du Maurier
- Mathilda, Mary Shelley
- Letty Fox: Her Luck by Christina Stead
- The Collected Prose, Elisabeth Bishop
- Anne Of Green Gables, LM Montgomery
- The Enchanted April, Elizabeth von Arnim
- Eva Trout, by Elizabeth Bowen
- Excellent Women, Barbara Pym

Spin me a number, Classics Club! And happy reading to you all!
Yours truly,
J.

Great list! Some I love – the Muriel Spark and the du Maurier – some I’d love to read, like the Shirley Jackson or the Mary Shelley – and others I know nothing about but am now intrigued by! Hope you get a great pick on Monday 🙂

The Hearing Trumpet is on my list, too, but not of Classics Club. In fact, I think I’ve abandoned it unintentionally, the list that is. But, I would like to read this book. I even bought it with that intention. A few years ago.

It would be nice to read it along with you, Bellezza! 🙂

We share a couple of titles in common this spin, but your whole list looks great.
I read My Cousin Rachel for a previous spin – it was tremendous in a manipulative, psychologically disturbing way 🙂

Your list is great, Brona! I’ve read The Bell Jar, Stoner and Picture of Dorian Gray, and enjoyed all of them. And now I am curious to read My Cousin Rachel… 🙂
