Another spin and another chance to choose from my  Classics Club list .  

1. Go to your blog.
2. Pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read from your Classics Club list.
3. Post that list, numbered 1 – 20, on your blog by Sunday.
4. Sunday morning, the Classics Club will announce a number from 1 – 20.  Go to the list of twenty books you posted and select the book that corresponds to the number they announce.
5. The challenge is to read the book by April 11, 2025

As with previous Spins, instead of producing a new post, I’m going to simply announce the winner below and, to make it easier to complete at least one book, I’m going to choose a book from my Guardians List, my Shakespeare Projectand my Children’s Classics Project, with no deadline date, just a dedication to read at least one of them by the deadline.

And the winning number was 4 !  Animal Farm by George Orwell is the winner.  How appropriate!  I just finished reading 1984.

See my other options below:

Classics Club Winner:  Animal Farm

Guardians Book List Winner:  Fair Stood the Wind to France

Shakespeare Winner: Measure for Measure

Children’s List Winner:  Prisoner of Zenda
