I hadn’t intended to participate in the Classics Club Spin this time around, but I think it might be just what I need. I don’t really have a Classics Club list any longer so I just looked around my shelves and chose books that I think I would like to read over the next three months. I even included some chunksters like Anna Karenina and Middlemarch to keep things interesting. I truly hope I return to normal soon and joining the Classics Club Spin is part of the effort to bring back my usual passion for reading and blogging. Here is my list:
- Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
- The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford
- The Expendable Man by Dorothy B. Hughes
- The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
- The Echoing Grove by Rosamond Lehmann
- The Fountain Overflows by Rebecca West
- The Slaves of Solitude by Patrick Hamilton
- Loitering with Intent by Muriel Spark
- Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers
- The Cranford Chronicles by Elizabeth Gaskell
- The Custom of the Country – Edith Wharton
- The Spectre of Alexander Wolf by Gaito Gazdanov
- Middlemarch by George Eliot
- Swann’s Way by Marcel Proust
- Black Narcissus by Rumer Godden
- South Riding by Winifred Holtby
- I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
- Mrs. Ames by E.F. Benson
- The Sleeping Beauty by Elizabeth Taylor
- Because of the Lockwoods by Dorothy Whipple
I’m secretly hoping for #3, 8 or 20. If you’re participating in the spin I hope you get something wonderful tomorrow.
