The Classics Spin 5
Posted on February 4, 2014 in Books
The Fourth Classics Spin from the Classics Club. As with before, I must pick twenty books, then a random number will be selected and each of us must read the number listed at X number by April 1, 2014.
These Spins are really useful because other reads and activities have taken me away from the challenge often.
My challenge is that I own almost every one of these books so I must read them to clear them from my shelves.
