The Classics Club has announced another spin. How do the spins work? I pick 20 books from my Classics Club list and number them. On October 17, the club picks a number, and that’s the book I will read before December 12, the deadline for this spin. So, here is my list for this spin. This time, I haven’t picked any of the difficult books on my list:
- The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole
- The Mayor’s Wife by Anna Katherine Green
- The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson
- Rhododendron Pie by Margery Sharp
- The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer
- Grand Hotel by Vicki Baum
- Merkland, A Story of Scottish Life by Margaret Oliphant
- Miss Plum and Miss Penny by Dorothy Evelyn Smith
- Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare
- The Dead Secret by Wilkie Collins
- Much Dithering by Dorothy Lambert
- A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute
- Weatherley Parade by Richmal Crompton
- The Moonspinners by Mary Stewart
- Iza’s Ballad by Magda Szabo
- Music in the Hills by D. E. Stevenson
- Tis Pity She’s a Whore by John Ford
- Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
- The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy

I’ve read a few of those and particularly enjoyed The Moonspinners and The Return of the Native. I hope the spin picks a good one for you!
Me, too! Is there one in particular you wish to read from your list?
I’m hoping for Black Narcissus but would be happy with most of them!
That’s a great one!
Great list here, with many I don’t know! I’m curious with your 10. I read other books by that author, not this one.
Here is my list https://wordsandpeace.com/2021/10/13/the-classics-club-the-classics-spin-28/
I don’t think I’ve read this one, but I may have long ago. Hoping it will be new.
Good luck with the spin! I’ve read a few on your list and enjoyed them very much (Rhododendron Pie; Miss Plum and Miss Penny; The Grand Sophy; Much Dithering; Sense & Sensibility and The Moonspinners).
Nice!
The Return of the Native is also on my list! But… you haven’t read Sense & Sensibility yet? Hm…
Oh, and my list will go up tomorrow.
Yes, I have. It’s a reread. I get to sneak in a few rereads of my favorites every new list.
I’ve recently read rave reviews of Black Arrow and Rhodendron Pie, so I’d love to see what you think of either of these.
A Town Like Alice! It’s a lifetime favorite of mine.

Oh good! You have quite a few on your list that I’m familiar with.
I read Black Arrow recently and it’s pretty fun, but that’s a Wilkie Collins I’m curious about so I hope you get that one!
We’ll see!
I’ve only read a few of these – A Town Like Alice, Sense and Sensibility, The Return of the Native and The Grand Sophy – and enjoyed them all, but there are plenty of the others I’d like to read, especially The Black Arrow! Hope you get one you enjoy!
Thanks!
Well, you can’t go wrong with that list! Enjoy your spin book!
You too!
I love Sense and Sensibility, but the Castle of Otranto could be fun and Rhododendron Pie and Miss Plum and Miss Penny sound fun too – good luck!
