The Classics Club Lucky SPIN number!

Click for details about the Spin.

We promised you a spin number this morning, and here it is! Your Spin Number is –

8.

If you joined the game last week, find number 8 on your Spin List! That’s the title you are challenged to read by May 2, 2016. We’ll toss a post up on February 1 to see who completed the game.

As always, the prize is the reading experience. Details here.

In case anyone asks — it would be awesome if everyone posted about their Spin book on May 2. But that’s not mandatory or anything. If you want to, though, have at it! 🙂

Check in below if you played. What’s your #8 title? Are you glad, hesitant, excited about your title? Do tell!

The Classics Spin #12

Spins! So far!

Good morning, Clubbers!

It’s time for another Classics Spin for any who are interested. What is the spin?

It’s easy. At your blog, by next Monday, March 7, list your choice of any twenty books you’ve left to read from your Classics Club list — in a separate post.

This is your Spin List. You have to read one of these twenty books in March & April. (Details follow.) So, try to challenge yourself. For example, you could list five Classics Club books you are dreading/hesitant to read, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are neutral about, and five free choice (favorite author, rereads, ancients — whatever you choose.)

Next Monday, we’ll post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List, by May 2, 2016. We’ll have a check in here in May, to see who made it the whole way and finished the spin book.

Do you have that?

---

• Go to your blog.
• Pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read from your Classics Club List.
• Try to challenge yourself: list five you are dreading/hesitant to read, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are neutral about, and five free choice (favorite author, rereads, ancients — whatever you choose.)
• Post that list, numbered 1-20, on your blog by next Monday.
• Monday morning, we’ll announce a number from 1-20. Go to the list of twenty books you posted, and select the book that corresponds to the number we announce.
• The challenge is to read that book by May 2, even if it’s an icky one you dread reading! (No fair not listing any scary ones!)

---

Ha ha! 😀 All for fun, and of course, the “rules” are, as always, very relaxed. Really, you can make up your own rules. We don’t actually care. 😛

So, today (any time this week) at your blog, you might post something like:

---

My Book Spin list for the Classics Club  –

1. Jane Eyre
2. Pride and Prejudice
3. Crime and Punishment
4. Oliver Twist
5. CLARISSA (yikes!)
6. Gone With the Wind
7. Ulysses (Ugh!)
8. Emerson’s Collected Essays
9. Richard III
10. The Iliad
11. Jude the Obscure
12. Leaves of Grass
13. The Monk
14. Dracula
15. The Importance of Being Earnest
16. Sense & Sensibility
17. The Tempest
18. The Diary of Anne Frank
19. Paradise Lost
20. Pilgrim’s Progress

---

(Obviously, YOU choose what books you want to list, in what order.)

---

Next Monday, we will announce a number from 1 through 20. When we announce it, go to your Spin list. Find that number, and read the book listed for that number by May 2.

So, if (for example) we announce #9 — if the above list was your Spin List, you’d have to read Richard III by May 2.

Make sense? Don’t get bogged down by rules and details! Free free to rebelliously break the rules at your leisure.

As always, the prize is the reading experience. 🙂

When we announce the number next Monday, come tell us your title — ha!
