  2. I loved Red Pottage and Wild Strawberries so I hope you get one of those. I also enjoyed The Awakening and The Country of the Pointed Firs. Good luck with the spin!

  4. 5, 15 or 18 for sure. Sappho seems fascinating, and I adored ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’s quiet madness – but who can resist a good poetry collection like Tsvetaeva? 😉
