THE CLASSICS CLUB SPIN #20: The Number Has Been Announced!
The result of the Spin has been announced. It is number 19!
This means my book for this Spin is My Love Must Wait by Ernestine Hill, a fictional biography of Captain Matthew Flinders, an English navigator, who circumnavigated and gave Australia it's current name.
