Make a list of 20 classic books you want to read and number them. On Friday, March 9th, the spin number will be announced. Check that number against your list. That is the book you will read and hopefully finish by April 30th.
I love participating in the SPINS. They force me to read these excellent classic books and link me with a community of people who are also reading a classic book.
To get started, create your list. If you have a blog or Facebook account, publish the list. Then stay tuned until the spin number is announced on Friday and get reading!
For more details, see The Classics Club link.
Here is my list. If you'd like to join me and read the same book, I'd love it.
