Classics Club Spin #24 List of Potential Wins!
Here's my list of 20 potential reads for the next spin. I am deliberately picking shorter or easier works because I am feeling rather overwhelmed with the non-reading portion of my life! This is also limited by the fact I am just pulling books off my shelves I've been meaning to read for ages. The Power and the Glory is a favorite of mine but I haven't read it in decades so time for a reread.
