It’s time for another Classics Club Spin!
Hosted by The Classics Club blog, the Classics Club Spin is a reading adventure where participants come up with a list of classics they’d like to read, number them 1 to 20, and then read the book that corresponds to the “spin” number that comes up. This will be the Classics Club’s spin #43, and my 15th time participating!
Here are the dates and guidelines from the host blog:
On Sunday 8th February 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 the 29th March, 2026.
We’ll check in on the 29th March to see who made it the whole way and finished their spin book!
What’s Next?
- Go to your blog.
- Pick twenty books that you’ve got left to read from your Classics Club List.
- Post that list, numbered 1-20, on your blog before Sunday 8th February 2026.
- We’ll announce a number from 1-20.
- Read that book by 29th March.
I’ve become hooked on exploring 20th century fiction, so my list mainly leans in that direction… with one or two others thrown into the mix as well. Where will the spin take me this time? We’ll find out in a few days!
