And the lucky Spin number is:
NUMBER XI !
Oh my! From my list, it’s Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich.
Déjà vu! I had this book chosen once before for a spin and didn’t read it. Perhaps it’s a message that I need to read it. It’s quite short so I can’t see it being a problem.

Written by an anchoress in Norwich around 1373, this book is the first known book in English written by a woman.
Now I only need to find it!
Yeah, looks like a sign! Definitely! 🙂
I’m going to finish it. I really don’t want it popping up again.
Good luck with Julian! I’ve heard of it, but despite being somewhat interested in mystical writings, never thought to give it a whirl. I’ll be very interested to read your thoughts.
It’s well respected and I’m very interested in what she has to say. I’ll definitely do a review of it when I finish! 👍
I need to get back to this one. I read the first, short version, and haven’t yet gotten to the second, longer one. I bet you’ll enjoy it! Wish me luck….
Argh! There’s a short and long version! Yikes! Well, in spite of wanting to read the long, I’m going to read whichever one I have. Thanks for the heads up though. I might look into it more at a later date.
ive never heard of it, mea culpa… maybe it’s on Gutenberg?
Let me know if you find it on Gutenberg. Perhaps they have the long version. I’ve just learned how to convert Gutenberg to my Kindle now, so I have another resource. Yay! Just what I need. More access to more books!
It is on Gutenberg. It seems to be the long version, and the editor has modernized spelling & punctuation. Maybe I’ll join you!
Ha, ha! We’ll each be reading the others spin. Should I admit I’m looking more forward to Travels with a Donkey than Revelations ..? Well, I’m sure both will be good in their own way.
I’ll be very curious what you make of this! I know only the name.
I hope I like it. I wasn’t that thrilled with Teresa of Avila so I do hope Julian is better.
Oh beautiful. I really want to read this too and will look forward to your thoughts (fingers crossed you finish it this time).
Well, I hope to give you a good report. Then you can read it too! Thanks for the wishes, Lory!
A major Christian classic. I hope you enjoy it
Thanks,Emma! I’m looking forward to it!
I see you’re reading The Enchanted April. I’ll be reading it later this year with my book club. Are you enjoying it?
I’m really enjoying it, Carol. There are parts of it that aren’t that believable imo, but von Arnim weaves a lovely story as usual. So far I prefer Elizabeth and her German Garden but I know I’m probably in the minority. I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts on it after your read! I hope to get a review up soon!
